I feel bad for the jersey owners.

[HtownColt]

About time, I always thought he would at some point. Thought he would had did it last year

[Poster X]

Interesting. Bob Sanders is probably out there somewhere thinking... Really, man?

[John Waylon]

NO. GOD NO. 

 

It's fragile. 

 

That number killed Sanders, and then that kid we drafted out of USC who was always injured.

 

It's cursed. Let it go, Vontae.

[bavanlan]

I feel bad for the jersey owners.

I'm sure both of them will be okay.

I feel bad for his Twitter username

 

Perhaps now my username will have some truth to it again!

Who was it before Bob Sanders?

Why? You can change your Twitter name

And the moment he tweeted that, I pictured you jumping for joy now that your forum name has some validation

[John Waylon]

Who was it before Bob Sanders?

 

I cannot even remember.

[rjbalchusa]

Rick Volk wore 21 if you go back far enough.

It's been quite a journey after Bob left.  We had Kevin Thomas be 21 for a while.  Then Teddy Williams in 2012.  We finally have  potential validation of my username once again!

Sanders killed himself with his play and Thomas was always bad. Two players doesn't mean it's cursed. I'm personally very happy he's 21 now.

ITT people who believe in ghosts, demons and Santa Claus

[coltsfanej]

When i first got my cell phone i picked my number for reggie and bob 8721.. Maybe now i can say my number is reggie vontae if he does it justice lol

[Fx Stryker]

Who was it before Bob Sanders?

 

Walt Harris and Thomas Smith were the two before Sanders. Can't remember before that.

[bestQBever]

The next deion sanders

[BlueCollarColts]

He wore 21 in Miami, so it doesn't surprise me.

[lollygagger8]

Maybe everyone with Sanders jerseys can just get the name changed and re-use the jerseys!!

[CR91]

I thought david sims was wearing 21

[Kyle]

I'm sure both of them will be okay.

lol

[CroatianColtsFan21]

both david sims and vontae have number 21 according to colts.com

[Coltsfanman1953]

both david sims and vontae have number 21 according to colts.com

I hope that I don't have to buy a new David Sims jersey ...

[Nadine]

wonder why he did this.  Did anyone ask him?  Does this sort of thing happen often?

[Dark Superman]

He wore 21 in Miami after wearing 24 I think?

But I thought the guy looked good in 23.

[TKnight24]

#21 was his jersey in Miami. He just wants his old number that's all

Like how Hasselbeck wanted his #8 from Chandler Harnish

[PrincetonTiger]

If that was the sole reason why didn't he do it before

[TKnight24]

If that was the sole reason why didn't he do it before

21 was occupied wasn't it? And I believe you can only change it in the off-season

Someone had 21 when Vontae came I believe & remember he came in the middle of the season when he first got here

He finally saw his window of opportunity & took it

Edit: And also to add to it, he was a free agent this off-season so he couldn't change it until he found out if he was staying here in Indy or moving to a new team. So yeah, the window of opportunity was there now & he took it

[ProblChld32]

Rick Volk wore 21 if you go back far enough.

 

Sure did !

[ProblChld32]

I was hoping he stuck with 23!

[Jim H.]

<<<< Breathes a huge sigh of relief at this stunning turn of events

[CR91]

If that was the sole reason why didn't he do it before

 

to change your number, you have to buy every jersey that stores have in their inventory. before vontae got his big payday, he was making peanuts

[CR91]

both david sims and vontae have number 21 according to colts.com

 

sims is now wearing 35

[Luck_Is_Skilled]

He was #1 at Illinois and for the most part players want to keep their college number when they turn pro. That translated to 21 in Miami so it makes sense to go back to what he is comfortable wearing.

Hopefully Deone Bucannon is our new #23!

[imacoltfan]

Walt Harris and Thomas Smith were the two before Sanders. Can't remember before that.

Paul Miranda?

[Dark Superman]

I just changed Vontae to 21 and he just had a pick six in his first game..

Could this be a sign? Lol.

21 is super rich man at least

[BLUEx40]

It's cursed. Let it go, Vontae.

if were basing cursed jerseys on those facts than every colts jersey is cursed

[BLUEx40]

[21isSuperman]
