Chazberg Posted November 14, 2004 Share Posted November 14, 2004 I'm bored and I was lookin through different years, and I was surprised to find that from 1982-1986 the Colts allegedly wore gray pants at home and gray striping in their road uniform. Is this correct? I've never seen any pics to back this up. charles-noerenberg.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceCap Posted November 14, 2004 Share Posted November 14, 2004 yes, they did wear this uniform combination for a while:best uniforms they ever had, imo.

TruColor Posted November 14, 2004 Share Posted November 14, 2004 We've covered this before...I even have a 1986 NFL Style Guide sheet to prove it, as well as an official letter from the NFL before the 1987 season that states that the Colts were officially dropping the Gray (they called it Silver, but they actually used a non-metallic Gray).Here's an edited scan of the 1986 sheet:1986 Indianapolis Colts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TruColor Posted November 14, 2004 Share Posted November 14, 2004 ...oh...and I did see them play in those Gray pants live back in 1986 as well (against the Cowboys at Texas Stadium)... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sc49erfan15 Posted November 14, 2004 Share Posted November 14, 2004 I like the horseshoe-number on the pants. They should bring that back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jrodsep Posted November 14, 2004 Share Posted November 14, 2004 It looks great. But I like the current ones better. More Class and more tradition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnWis97 Posted November 14, 2004 Share Posted November 14, 2004 I remember the grey pants, but I don't remember the gray trim on the white jersey at all. It just looks weird to me. I like what they have now (actually what they had last year, with the blue facemask).

boardname Posted November 14, 2004 Share Posted November 14, 2004 Didn't know that, but glad they dumped it. Looks too much like the Lions (before the black at least) and the Cowboys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Discrim Posted November 14, 2004 Share Posted November 14, 2004 i think if done right, the Colts could rock gray today. the road was pretty much on its way there, although the home look was just disjointed, what with the gray pants and the lack of gray on the blues.
