_RH_ Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 considering helmet, shoulder, and pants: For their home set, they've got "single blue on white" twice and "double blue on white" once. For their road set, they've got "single blue on white" once and "double blue on white" twice. I don't know that I would care if they went "single blue on white" twice or "double blue on white" ... but why not pick one for all locations?! Or do you think it looks better as it is?

andrewharrington Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 It looks bottom heavy with double stripes on the pants but a single stripe on the helmet, so I’d prefer a single stripe on the pants, but that’s the only change I’d make. The jersey and the solid blue socks are both fine. I quite like how the solid blue socks look with the road uniform, but I would also be on board with bringing back a white and a blue pair of double stripe socks to wear with the corresponding jerseys.

_DietDrPepper_ Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 Colts are some of the more classic and better uniforms in the league, I personally would maybe make the pants stripe single but that’s ab it, this looks could last decades and I wouldn’t care tbh Follow the NFA, and My Baseball League here: https://ahsports.boardhost.com/index.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaleVermilion81 Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 Helmet always has 1 stripe. Jersey/pants always have 2 stripes. Seems pretty consistent to me. The pants/helmets/jerseys don't have to have the exact same stripe to be considered consistent for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IceCap Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 Doesn't bother me. Would double stripes on the helmet look nice? Yeah. Do they need to do it?

I've always thought monochrome teams like the Colts (and Jets) benefit from striped socks. Visit my store on REDBUBBLE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joey joe joe jr. shabadoo Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 Not at all really. It's never jumped out at me as something that doesn't look good or needs correcting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dynasty Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 Inconsistencies like that were common back then. The Dolphins and Redskins also had different stripes on their helmet and pants (Redskins still do). The Colts could match them or stay the same; they're still Top 5 uniforms IMO.

johnnysama Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 I remember that one season they had blue pants. It balanced out the road set a little, but a lot of people are happy that they've been gone now. But, nah, the single stripe on the Colts helmet doesn't bother me at all. It's a timeless design.

Mitch B Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 Each time Nike introduces some new garbage to the NFL, I just love the Colts uniforms more. I would prefer a single stripe on the pants, but it's not a deal breaker for me. "Of course, that's just my opinion. I could be wrong."

fouhy12 Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 Yes, it bothers me. There should be two stripes on the helmet. fouhy12's NFL Concepts 2020 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRed618 Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 I always thought the pants ought to have just one stripe so they’ll have something that matches the helmet. Jerseys are fine as they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THRILLHO Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 Doesn’t bother me. If they were designing these from scratch they’d probably maintain consistency. But as others have noted it’s been this way for so long it seems to work for most. UGA does the single helmet stripe and triple pant stripes (although their pants aren’t the same color so it isn’t a fair comparison) in the 90s they messed around with the helmet stripe but they went back to the original design pretty fast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewMLind Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 This is how they’ve looked for my entire existence, so I’ve never put much thought into it being another way. But now that you mention it, a single stripe on the pants or double stripe on the helmet would be preferable. There seem to be numerous inconsistencies in the NFL that have simply been accepted because it’s been that way for decades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrandMooreArt Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 nothing bothers me about the uniform, except maybe the socks. i just like striped socks better than non-striped socks, as long as they're not too large and take focus away from more important parts of the uni. i agree with Harry that the uniform is a bit bottom heavy, but i'd rather the uniform be bottom heavy than top heavy. that said, a single pants stripe would look great too. its a uniform that will always need to contrast with the Jets. no matter what NY does now, you never want to move the elements on the Colts uni to a point where people might say "looks like the old Jets uniform" GRAPHIC ARTIST BEHANCE / MEDIUM / DRIBBBLE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewMLind Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Aside from the one team’s sleeve caps and number of stripes on their respective helmets, I’ve always viewed the Colts as the blue version of the Jets (and vice versa). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
