The Indianapolis Colts have long been an organization that prides itself on tradition, which is why the uniforms haven’t changed much over the years.
From the solid colors of blue and white to the double stripes on the shoulder and the classic blue horseshoe on the white helmet, the Colts haven’t had to change much over the years.
However, in ranking the best and worst uniforms in the NFL, Todd Haislop of Sporting News listed the Colts at No. 25—good for eighth-worst in the league.
“We know … “Tradition!” But can’t we all agree some traditions are boring?
The Colts might never change their look, and many would argue they shouldn’t. But they can keep the best of their classic uniforms and still make some necessary tweaks. For example, the blue facemasks Indy had back at the turn of the millennium were great. Why not bring them back and ditch the gray?
Also – and this is a big one – somebody in Indianapolis needs to walk through the Colts’ facility, pick up every pair of black cleats he or she can find, throw them in a pile, soak them in kerosene and burn them to ashes. This team has no business wearing anything but white (or blue) cleats, especially when it’s donning its all-white away look.”
The Colts’ uniforms are simple and classic. There likely aren’t going to be any changes on that front anytime soon.
Maybe the Colts wear a little more all-blue for the upcoming season, which is one of their best looks in my opinion.
What say you, Colts fans? Should the uniforms be ranked this low?
