Colts Claim They Changed Their Jerseys and We Literally Can't Tell the Difference
By Scott Rogust
In recent weeks, NFL fans have seen some franchises make changes to their uniforms. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers reverted back to their 2000s jerseys (for the better), while the Atlanta Falcons took a bold step in switching up their kits (for the worse).
On Monday, the Indianapolis Colts teased football diehards with their announcement of changes to their longstanding uniforms. And much to the dismay of many, there were barely any changes at all.
A slight modification to their number and name fonts. That's it. It's like the Colts were playing a game of "spot the difference" with their fans, but the fans chose to universally log offline instead. Way to play with their emotions, Indy.
While the uniforms do look exactly the same, Indianapolis did introduce a new secondary logo, which you can find in the...neckline? If you look hard enough? This emblem is undeniably new -- it's the letter "C" shaped like a horseshoe with seven grommets. Additionally, in the middle of the logo is the shape of Indiana, where the Colts reside.
The secondary logo is a cool homage to Indiana, but other than that, there's not much to say about these "new uniforms." Are these alterations worth Colts fans dropping hundreds of dollars on a new jersey? Absolutely not.
It's just another money grab for the Colts, NFL, and Nike.
