My hope is just that since Indy has had the sense to not do anything like that before and maintain a classic identity that the team will have enough sense to not do anything like that in the future. I don't think it's a foregone conclusion that black alternates are on their way at all.

bwburke94 Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 Even if they don't introduce an alt, this is still adding black for black's sake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruhammydude Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 Since the Colts added black to their uniforms, there is now no more teams in the NFL with only one color and white. The Jets and Colts were green and white and blue and white respectively, but they both have black in their color scheme now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Colts and Cowboys coexisted with vintage serifs for about a decade (in the same league) just fine, both looked great in them, and I think they could still coexist today; despite some similarities in branding like you mentioned, I think those are ultimately not as major in comparison to the differences they have. They both have some very different things going for them that still set each other apart, even in color scheme and uniform elements, enough so that I wouldn’t see too much of an encroachment. I even watched a broadcast of Super Bowl V yesterday and was surprised at how even in 1971, the two teams still looked fairly distinct from each other despite some shared similarities (in my eyes, at least). Granted they did have different number fonts, but everything else altogether was still distinct enough that even if the Colts still had the vintage serifs then, it wouldn’t have bothered me. The Cowboys could also further distance themselves if they’d like by switching out regular silver for the greenish silver across the board (helmet and pants), and just own the color outright to make that one of their “things”. That’s something I’ve hoped they’d do for a long time, honestly. The cowboys helmets are actually Texas Blue.. only the pants they wear with the Navy jerseys are silver.. Helmets - silvery blue Main pants - silvery green Other pants - silver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The hell you say! I didn't know "Nugget-jackin'" was a sport round here! Well then ... here's my wall poster-style tribute to the franchise's (pre-2018) history of uniforms and logos: On 10/29/2016 at 5:34 AM, BroncoBuff said: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordBigMad Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 Overall, I like the Colts changes. Love the change in number font. Kudos to them for that. The alternate logo isn't bad at all. Unique use of the state of Indiana. The wordmark is a definitely a huge downgrade. The old one was original, nostalgic and it looked really nice. The new one is bland and boring. I'm not sure I can tell what the change(s) made to the horseshoe was/were? Can someone please explain and/or post a side by side comparison?

This could be a case of them having had slightly different versions of the logo for their helmets (as the Chiefs do). The logo on the mothership has had those little hooks on the end for years. The actual logo on helmets, however, did not. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're not decades old, but also not current. I'm guessing I missed the old timer joke. Smart is believing half of what you hear. Genius is knowing which half.

GhostOfNormMacdonald Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 Let's see the Colts do a black alternate with facemask gray numbers. And simplify it by getting rid of the stripes and ditching blue. I made a quick mockup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
