Tradition... I like tradition...

hahhhahahaha love it

[BOTT]

big fan of that helmet, but it wouldn't work with the current jerseys.  They'd have to pretty much overhaul the whole uniform, which I would be all for.

Why wouldn't it work...as assuming they march colors?

as someone else said, this helmet looks more modernized so personally I don't think it would look right with the existing traditional pants and jerseys.

I would just put the traditional horseshoe (white) on it.....wouldn't want the traditionalists to riot in the streets.

well...it would also be my personal preference to update the unis as well

This from the guy who has cited Madden in football conversations???? 

 

Hypocrisy

not hypocrisy.  madden is surprisingly accurate in predicting games.  their player ratings, while not perfect are as good as any other metric out there, such as PFF.

I started to say something but just decided it was of no use.

[crazycolt1]

I like the helmet, but agree that I'd rather have the horseshoe be white. It's one thing to change up the style of the uniform a little bit, but a completely different thing to changes a team's colors. 

 

Some of those helmets are pretty nice, but some are ridiculous. The ones I especially dislike are the ones with oversized logos that wrap around to the front (e.g. Texans, Pats, Bengals). I'll have to admit...I didn't know the Browns had a dog as their logo. Is that new or just before my time?

Dog Pound?

[SOMDColtsfan]

Be alright for a game or 2. Maybe instead of "throwback" games the NFL could add "futuristic" looks in the mix. Put a spin on things and spike a lot of interest. Still like the Colts classic look. The Browns should really look into this version of their helmets though  

[Horse Shoe Heaven]

With the white jerseys Yes!

[texascolt]

Keep them white!

I'm sorry I can't agree with this. I play madden for fun but that's all it is. Simulation it is not. Run CCM mode and compare the generated stats for a season with the norms.

Dog Pound?

Yeah, it makes perfect sense, but I've just never seen the dog. Not that I pay any attention at all to Cleveland sports, but I'd have thought I'd have seen it at some point in the last 12 or so years that I've been paying attention to football.

I don't know where the dog came from either ... I think their mascot is "Brownie the Elf"

[Chucklez]

I love the helmet, especially the chrome facemask.

 

I could see this fitting well as an alternate uni to wear once every season ala the Pittsburgh 'bumble bee' unis.

 

This Helmet, blue jersey with vibrant and bright silver accents and numbers, silver pants.

 

I could get behind that.

The Pit bumblebee jerseys are throwbacks, not alternates.

[UKColt13]

The Pit bumblebee jerseys are throwbacks, not alternates.

 

Yeah I know, I was just saying that to show the frequency I would want them worn.

[Valpo2004]

I like it.  

[Steamboat_Shaun]

I'm not into it at all. I'm actually surprised that so many people are in favor of changing the unis, there's no real need to do it. So many teams make the mistake of changing their logos and unis to a more modern look, and they end up looking terrible. Denver & New England would be examples, I thought their old uniforms and logos were way sweeter than their current versions.

[theanarchist]

Most of you have probably seen the attached pic and the other 31 but I thought it would be a cool discussion.  I like our blue helmets so I obviously like this and many of the other this person created.  If anyone need the link to the other you can find it on the cbs nfl site.

I like it. But, I'm kind of old school when it comes to the Colts, my team. I like the classic look and the return to the gray facemask. Probably because when I was playing in school about the only option you had was gray for the facemask  .  But it would be kind of cool to see some of these new designs a couple of times a year.

 

BTW, I think that the Bronco and the patriots new uniforms and helmet design were a step down from their classic uniform. I really liked the Bronco inside the D and the old pats minuteman centering the ball. Classic

[Jim H.]

I used to want a change, but now I'm on the "don't mess with the classics" bus.

That, fellow fan, is known as gaining maturity.  :^)

I believe they were named in honor of Joe Louis - "The Brown Bomber."

yeah, no lol.  It's known as different preference

[coltsXnation]

Its wearable

[Crush22]

Call me a traditionalist..... I prefer the current uni's.

[Coltsfanman1953]

I believe they were named in honor of Joe Louis - "The Brown Bomber."

I think that they were named for the coach Paul Brown(later coach of the Bengals)but what do I know?

[Indygal1218]

I don't see why they couldn't wear an alternate uni design once in a while. It doesn't have to be a permanent change. Kind of like the Pacers with their flo-jo's or the Steelers and their prison bumblebees or the Packers' and their dot thingies.

[Indygal1218]

I think that they were named for the coach Paul Brown(later coach of the Bengals)but what do I know?

I also thought the name referred to Coach Brown.

Those were drastic changes. They just basically just painted the helmets blue
