The NFL will hold its first Brazilian game in a stadium where locals despise the color green. And the NFL sent two teams to that stadium with green in their color schemes.

Commissioner Roger Goodell was asked in an interview with CNBC this morning how that could happen.

“Well, you try to pick the two best teams,” Goodell said. “And I think we have two historic franchises. Yeah, they wear green. But I think we’ve gotten over all that. Everybody here understands. I think you’ll see the uniforms tonight. They’re not going to offend anybody. So that’s not a problem for us.”

The Eagles have ditched green for tonight’s game. They’ll be wearing black and white. The Packers have green letters and numbers on white jerseys, and some green on their helmets.

It shouldn’t be a problem, really. If international soccer teams wore red in Ann Arbor or blue in Columbus, fans probably wouldn’t associate it with the rivals they hate.
