Difficult living across the pond to get your hands on stuff, especially that you know is authentic.
Having said that I have a signed Vontae Davis mini helmet and a signed Andrew Luck helmet that I actually witnessed him sign in when I met him in London. Would love to get some photos with the players.

Awesome! Would love to get a signed jersey, but living in the UK means the import fees are crazy.
Managed to get my mini helmet signed when I met Luck in London last summer though. Good enough for me!

Not long to go now. Live in London so gonna head up to Regent street Saturday afternoon for the fan rally and then The Admiralty pub in Trafalgar Square is where it seems the Colts fans are gonna be based on Saturday evening.
I've been to 2 games in Indy and the people have been so warm and friendly. Hopefully it will be good to welcome some Americans to our corner of the world and show you some British hospitality! (This will involve mainly drinking)

SW. One of the questions to Luck was about him being known for being very eloquent and well spoken and he joked that it must have been the 2 years he spent at school in London.

Yep, was at this event, with a bunch of other UK based fans in London. It was an awesome evening and I managed to snag an autograph. Dwayne Allen and Andrew were answering fan questions. Some other things he said, that you guys might be interested in:
There was some fun made of Luck’s new contract, which was amusing but I think Andrew found a little embarrassing.
Luck said he loved living in Indiana, Hoosier hospitality and enjoyed living in such a vibrant sports town.
He said that the newest player he’s most excited about is Ryan Kelly. Jokingly said Kelly is a bit of an a-h, in a good way, in that he’s cocky, sure of himself and confident in what he’s doing which is super good to hear.
Was asked who his biggest NFL heroes growing up were and cited Peyton Manning, Elway, Roethlisberger and Steve McNair.
He was asked about which was his favourite comeback of the ones he’s played in and stated that it was the Chiefs game but that they shouldn’t have gotten themselves in that position in the first place because of silly turnovers.
Said Jim Harbaugh helped instil that competitiveness in him at Stanford, that Harbaugh would make everything a competition, including first player out of bed at training camps, everything they did in the in the weight room, eating competitions etc.
Dwayne was asked what it’s like to play with Luck and said ‘At first glance he looks like such a geek’.
Dwayne humorously said the team get annoyed and always have to tell Andrew not to try and tackle the defender when he gets intercepted, cos he’s always charging down the field trying to make the play. Also said that they get annoyed with him always congratulating defensive players when he gets hit.
Dwayne said his favourite moment in football is when he’s blocking a defensive player and he feels that burst of air as the running back goes past him for a touchdown.
Dwayne Allen was asked which defensive player he most feared and said he didn’t fear anyone but had a ‘healthy respect’ for Mario Williams. Luck said one of his biggest thrills in the NFL so far was being able to play against Ed Reed and Ray Lewis in the playoffs in his first season, though not the result!
They both said that Pat McAfee is definitely as funny in person as he appears in the media/twitter, but when it’s time to go to work he’s an absolute professional which is why he’s the best punter in the league.
Luck enthused about training camp, said he absolutely loves playing football all day every day. They spoke about Reggie, reminiscing on his crazy entrances to training camp and what a shame it is that he’s no longer playing. Andrew said that Reggie was the hardest working player on the team. He never thought that ‘he’d made it’ even at age 35 and by working harder than the rookies it inspired everyone, and that Mathis is/was the same. Speculated on who would be the person to now take up the mantle of ‘entertaining entrances’ and they thought it could be T.Y.

d-LINE! not the whole defense...
To be fair they did also say that the corners and LB's were one of the worst units in the league as well.

80 quid for a Luck replica. Plus older ones on sale and it's all in Pound sterling. There's Clark, Garcon, Addai jerseys for £30 and under.
I've ordered stuff from here as well. http://www.footballfanatics.com/NFL_Indianapolis_Colts_Jerseys
It's pot luck whether you get stung for charges as well though. I must have ordered numerous items including mlb and nfl stuff and never been hit by additional fees yet. knock on wood

Hey all. I have made the trip over the pond to LOS and what I can say is that it is a truly magnificent stadium to watch a game of football in. Was a 23-17 win v the Bengals in 2010. It was a real honour to watch Manning play for real, instead of on tv from 4000 miles away. Hopefully be coming over again at Christmas/holiday time so will definitely be making sure of another trip to Lucas Oil.

Colts fan from Kent, England.
Spent a year at Indiana University, Bloomington in 2010-11. Was an NFL fan before that but didn't follow a team. Went to LOS to watch Peyton beat the Bengals that season and was a confirmed Colts fan from then on.
Came back in 2013 and saw us lose to the Dolphins at LOS, and hoping to make another visit for the upcoming season.
Lucky enough to meet Andrew Luck at an event in London a couple of years ago and he signed a mini helmet for me.
