KittSmith_95 Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 These Colts jerseys feel so disjointed. The helmet doesn’t fit the rest of the jersey, and both look good on their own, but they do not work together. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayMac Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 My initial reaction when seeing the first picture of the uniform: "What the :censored: is that?"

lahaye7 Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 so, these colts unis are supposed to look like blue jeans and jacket? Like a midwestern cowboy ? They aren't terrible, regular (or royal) helmet would be better.

henburg Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 This Colts uniform could (generous use here) maybe work if the helmet were blue to create a full committal to monochrome, but even then it just doesn't look or feel right for the Colts. The heathered texture is terrible and just makes me think of cheap athleisure clothes from Target or something, and while that secondary logo is solid, placing it there makes every player look like a captain. Between all of that and branding it as the "Indiana Nights" alternate (which sounds hilarious as an outsider), and the whole thing just falls really flat for me. Ironically, one of the reasons that I was so excited for the removal of the one helmet rule was because I thought it would help us avoid these terrible monochrome uniforms with different color helmet combos, but the Lions and now Colts have proven that some teams just like that look I guess 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coltsfootball2016 Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 As a Colts fans, I've been dreading this moment, I knew when they added the black swoosh, this was coming. They have had the same helmet since 1957? and only used early 50's throwbacks on occasion. If they were going to do an alternate be creative, put the kicking colt on the helmet. I don't understand why they didn't go with gray, instead of black, since they did use the color for the pants in 1984. Black added on to blue is overdone, BYU, Kentucky, KC Royals, Toronto Maple Leafs, etc.. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlySaint Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 A white/blue/white helmet stripe would’ve tied in with the jersey and pants better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GriffinM6 Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 If they were insistent on shoehorning black into this look, they should've done an Indianapolis 500 theme and done black and white checkerboard stripes on the shoulders, helmet, and pants. That would've actually looked good. Going with Blue/Blue/White/Blue or Black would've been nicer than black and then all blue below the neck. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VDizzle12 Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 The Commanders and Colts have really gone full 90s NHL with their alternates and helmets. Where the alternate has nothing to do with the primary uniform or any throwback worn in history. The Browns all-brown uniforms to a lesser extent could be included too. Even with color rush, teams would alter a current template with new colors or just use a throwback uniform. These two have been completely out of the left field and feel disjointed with the home/away primaries. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
