Mass confusion after start of England vs Switzerland wasn’t shown in black and white

There is a simple explanation

There was a lot of confusion during the first minute of England vs Switzerland tonight, as the first 25 seconds of the game were not broadcast in black and white as many had expected. It was reported yesterday that the first 25 seconds of the game would be shown without colour to mark the 25th anniversary of Kick It Out, the anti-discrimination body. However, when the game kicked off, the colours were as vibrant as usual, leading many people to post tweets expressing their bemusement as to why it had not happened. https://twitter.com/nallensports/status/1039589726028800000 https://twitter.com/Gazps_87/status/1039589739169570817 https://twitter.com/_benufc/status/1039589755216953344 https://twitter.com/liambarwick27/status/1039589828629880837 https://twitter.com/joelygoodman/status/1039589853648879617 https://twitter.com/pippy_mufc/status/1039589968518307841 However, there was 25 seconds of coverage broadcast in black and white, but it happened before kick-off. The effect was used when the players were making their way out of the tunnel to line up for the national anthems, which meant a large proportion of viewers missed it. https://twitter.com/SkyFootball/status/1039589421098717185 https://twitter.com/kickitout/status/1039592229344567296
