I’m sure Indianapolis is lovely as most cities are but does ANYBODY consider Indiana nights uniquely special enough to deserve a uniform? 

Hoosier here, and no. Indiana nights are not special. They are forgettable.

Would’ve made a lot more sense if they connected the uniforms to Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

Would’ve made a lot more sense if they trashed this idea and left their awesome brand well enough alone, sparing us all this abomination

 

Slight modification

It feels like they're parodying a Bob Seger song.

I think it's a reference to the first verse of "Mary Jane's Last Dance," by Tom Petty.

Dumb as hell.

This really does look like something a mid-level college team would do. Out nowhere black helmet, cheesy  monochrome, pointless textured fabric… it feels like they raided Arizona State’s idea book.

 

Embarrassing.

The players have to feel goofy doing the posing for the video, with some crap rap like music in the background.

Trying so hard to be cool.

 

A. It's just beats, not hip hop.

 

B. You do know that the music is dubbed over in post-production? This stuff is shot in slow motion so to get the footage for a two minute video they players only have to move around a few seconds. Then the production team cuts the clips together and adds whatever music they want. A team can hire John Williams if they want.

These give me BYU vibes

This site is so much fun when there is a terrible uniform revealed. I'm laughing so hard that I'm crying at some of these posts.

Ohioan here, and that also looks like a Buckeye Night.

Where else do you go at that time of night around here? 1/2 price apps can't be beat!

Wtf happened to the Colts' aesthetic in the last few years? They used to be a guaranteed good look every week. Now it's all-blue, all-white, all-blue with an incongruous black helmet...??

While I love the heathered pattern, I’m afraid this just opened a new can of worms

 

That happened back in 2012, my guy. That said, I'm actually amazed it took this long for some team to add a pattern to their primary jerseys...no one's done so since the Patriots left their sublimated striped behind in '02.

These are actually pretty cool. Glad they went this route instead of all black. I assume they didn't go with a Blue helmet since they have already worn one with their throwbacks recently.

 

 

if EVER there were a definition of BFBS, this is it. This is the poster child for it. This is the Creamerite/Uni Watch (is that blog still a thing?) dictionary image of it.

Expect sales of these to blow up around Nashville...and it'll be interesting if they can track metrics of how many of these are bought and shipped to Greater Houston. It's funny but prior to this, you barely saw any kind fo Houston Oilers anything around Middle Tennessee...even the team shop had few Oilers items. That all changes now, I guarantee it.

Seems their true inspiration was revenge: "You copy our best look, Duke, we (mostly) copy your worst."

 

That's actually what I thought the Colts would do...in truth I'd have preferred they do that rather than what they did.

Speaking as a former Indiana resident and quasi-Hoosier: not a nann one of 'em, homeboy...not a nann 'nother.

They should just become the Tennessee Oilers again.

[HOOVER]

Someone should get fired for this Colts design.  Absolutely nothing good about it.

 

However, thrilled about all of the other Throwbacks we’re getting.

I don't think these Colts uniforms are quite this fancy.

The only that's changed is they've opted to wear white socks with the away jersey. Once a year they wear all blue but that's been the case for the past six season.

Never forget all of this was made possible by adding black to the color scheme by making the radical change to their away uniform. Damn you black swoosh.

 

 

Came here to post this. It's hilarious how the black seeps in and spreads like the plague. Colts dipped their feet in with the Swoosh, and are about waist deep in now with the helmet. Now that they have a black helmet, they will use it to justify a black jersey, pants, and socks as their next alternate.

 

This feels like the Longhorns dropping a black helmet.

There's a 100% chance my hockey brain reads that C logo as a captain's patch every time I see it.
