Atrocious Black Helmets
 
Ummmm...keep it white

ChaosTheory 07-20-2023 01:15 PM

Eh, they're fine if they're going to go down this path (which is inevitable). I just prefer the classic styles over the modern ones.

Colts, Bears, Chiefs, etc. over the Seahawks or Buccaneers. Houston Oilers over the Titans or Texans.

Brylok 07-20-2023 03:28 PM

I absolutely hate whenever they mess with the uniforms. The Colts have a clean, classic look. It shouldn't ever change. This particular "color rush" uniform is ug-ly. Looks like they're trying to appeal to Ravens fans or something. Yuck.

apballin 07-20-2023 05:12 PM

I like it too bad it’s not a night game

CletusPyle 07-20-2023 05:30 PM

For one game...I'm cool with it, I think it looks pretty good!

Pfft colts uniform is boring, always has been. Has no style or theme. Just vanilla ice cream.

Blah. The Colts are a team that don't need an alternate.

Now the Seahawks throwbacks, those are fucking awesome. They should just switch back to them full time.

Nonsense. Colts uniform is among the top five in the league. In no particular order: Colts, Green Bay, Dallas, Pittsburgh, and Raiders. Probably should add Philly into the group, too. KC, 49ers, and Bears are also good but not top 5-6. Just my opinion of course.

We have similar taste here. All of those, minus Philly, have remained mostly unchanged for decades. Even little changes like the Colts' and 49ers' facemasks look good to me. Not as big on the Steelers/Raiders, but I appreciate them.

Mr. Session 07-20-2023 08:50 PM

Nope.

That ain’t it.

They are routinely rated near the bottom of all the teams because there is nothing to them. They’re white toast. When you debate the thickness of a stripe change, your uniform is boring. If they were minimalist, at least they would be a style. Yeah some of those teams are iconic, interesting color combinations, the packers is ugly but iconic, but the Colts are never grouped in with them because it’s too simple to be iconic.

I would include the Vikings over Philly. I absolutely love that matte purple finish of the Vikes helmets.

I agree 100%. Didn't even think about the Vikings. Philly is out, and Minnesota takes their place.

The Denver Broncos' uniforms from the late 1960's through the mid-1990's were outstanding ...... it's criminal that they fucked with such greatness as they did.


I would also like to see the Miami Dolphins, the New England Patriots, and the New York Jets permanently go back to their classic uniforms from the late 1960's and early 1970's.

I will apologize ahead of time, but I really liked the old Baltimore unis with the double horse shoe on the back of the helmets. I believe they wore the on a Thanksgiving game in detroit. I will accept any correction, but it was a good looking uni

PowayColt 07-21-2023 04:33 PM

I hate the black helmet and trim. Hated the double horseshoe in the back, too. Keep the classic Blue and white. The best uniform in the league. The New York Yankees of football as far as uniforms go.

I've liked the throwback sets with the blue helmets and the ones with the shoes on the back of the helmets. I still like the design even with the stripes being horizontal on the shoulders because it still fits the theme.

I think "Atrocious" is a perfect description of the black helmet. I just don't think the brand needs black, at all.

I am a fan. But I really do not think I'm looking at that illogically.

There should be an emotional positive response when you see your team logo and colors. This is just another way to generate income.

Baseball has gone overboard with the city connect jerseys.

I agree, it doesn't fit. It's this annoying thing from recent years where we have teams wearing black helmets/jerseys when it's not their color scheme. We get it, black looks cool... but you're the green/white Jets. Why are you blacked out.

And that's just one part of this thing happening across all sports where every franchise thinks they're the fucking Oregon Ducks when it comes to uniforms.

Why would anyone mess with the Green Bay uni? Its that good. Same with the Colts. Baseball has gone off the cliff with their city direct uniforms, its ridiculous. Just a money grab. St Louis Cardinals have an iconic jersey, why would you mess with it?

njcoltfan 07-23-2023 08:27 AM

Colts uni's are Classic..........................end of story !!!!

Oldcolt 07-23-2023 10:38 AM

I like our uniforms but don't give a damn if the whole team wore tutu's if they freaking win. I am sick of this mediocre bullshit.

rcubed 07-23-2023 10:43 AM

Eh. One game in an alternate doesn’t bother me. I would hate it if they permanently did something like this though.

Even more reason to not listen to your opinion on it.


And you think that uniform is bad. This helmet was redesigned by AI.

Now, that may be the worst thing I've ever seen for a colts helmet.
