Jezus_Ghoti Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 I'm good with the stripes, even though logically I feel like I shouldn't be. But what still bothers me is those gray facemasks. The blue just looked so, so much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrandMooreArt Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 i remember losing my :censored: when they made the switch to gray mask, darker blue, striped socks. i think it was more the shock of change and not understanding the reason behind it. today, i think they made the right move. i love the old school look and its more welcome now than ever in this Nike era. i also like the idea of Unitas, Manning, and Luck playing in essentially the same uniform GRAPHIC ARTIST BEHANCE / MEDIUM / DRIBBBLE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The neutral color gives your eyes a little rest (as opposed to the common technique of cramming color into every spot you can fit it), and it actually allows the team colors to stand out more, in my opinion. With that said, if the Colts were to go contemporary with their uniform again, I think I’d rather see a white mask than a blue one, especially now that they’re going to be carrying the torch as the league’s only “single color plus white” team. The sheer volume of white is signature to them (kinda like Texas), particularly on the road uniform and coupled with the fact that they don’t carry a set of alternate pants.

The_Admiral Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Should be a double stripe on the helmet, double stripes on the socks (and bring back white socks on the road). The blue facemasks were better, too. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DouglasQuaid Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 My suggestion would to keep them as is. The only thing i would add is sock stripes. Maybe only add one stripe to match the helmet. Ex: Jerseys and pants match, helmet and socks match. A Grey facemask is the best option when compared to white or blue (even though i used to be a fan of the blue).

The_Admiral Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 Didn't the Colts do that in the mid-'90s? That would be "old Colts" too. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do have a set if alternate pants as seen in their "Color Rush" alternates which they wore again this past season. There's nothing stopping them from wearing those blue pants with the road whites especially considering it's not technically "Color Rush" anymore and just an alternate uniform Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewharrington Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 Ah yes, forgot about those. Still, I’d be shocked if they ever wore them separate from the full Color Rush getup.

pianoknight Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 This stripe pattern is atrocious and teams who wear it should be shot dead on sight. 5th in NAT. TITLES | 2nd in CONF.

As much as I love the Bills in white over blue I would wholeheartedly scrap the blue pants to avoid the ugly and stupid blue monochrome/white helmets combo. So blue pants for the Colts is a huge no go for me. Don't give these guys an occasion to screw up another great looking uniform by wearing the worst combo as much as they can because they think it looks tougher or more .

Their jerseys were quite different from one another back in the 1960s, though. If you look closely, the Jets actually had an abstract/enlarged Northwestern stripe pattern while the Colts had UCLA stripes. Today, they’re the exact same UCLA stripes on the same template, the only difference is the Jets also have contrasting sleeve caps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love this, I love Clemson's orange, and pretty much nothing else. Regarding the helmet inconsistency as discussed above, I actually used to hate it, and eventually just stopped caring. Some inconsistency isn't the end of the world. I've got a dribbble, check it out if you like my stuff; alternatively, if you hate my stuff, send it to your enemies to punish their insolence!

DouglasQuaid Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 The stripe matches the jerseys because its a blue stripe in between white. I know its a stretch, but in a way it works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewMLind Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 That’s how I view the home jersey, too, but that’s the only case in which it works. Both the road jersey and weekly pair of pants are blue-white-blue, which is why it would actually be interesting to see them with blue pants (as pictured above) or a white jersey with a single stripe on each shoulder and white pants with a single stripe.

The helmet just has one and the jersey and pants have two, I don't really view it as an inconsistency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawk36 Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 It doesn't bother me. Still works in my opinion since it's simple and clean. What really bugs me is when colors are outlined differently in the same set like Auburn does. Design Hovie Studios Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What really bugs me is when colors are outlined differently in the same set like Auburn does. The Bears have a similar problem with their pants. They could easily remedy it on their white pants by adding narrow white stripes between the blue and orange stripes and on the blue pants by reversing the orange and white and playing with the widths. But like the Colts’ look, it doesn’t bother me because it’s been going on for so long. Visit my store on REDBUBBLE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
