Would you still be a Colts fan if they moved to another city?

Charlie Evans aka Charlie X  good one, who know what happened after he did that with his eyes?

The London Colts....mmm, let me think.....

[coltsfansince65]

I grew up with them in Baltimore. I would continue being a Colts fan in any US city.

[Oldschoolcolt19]

Always, except Pitts or NE

[kcccolts]

I would still stay with the Colts although I have never been near Indianapolis in my life.

Now I have seen them play/stayed up to 4am to watch them, they are now my team.....

 

As for a London team, I think if it goes ahead I think it is most likely to be Jacksonville, but  it would be good if the colts came over to play them from time to time.

Depends on how they left. If they left the way they left Baltimore,  possibly. Even if I understood the reasons for, I couldn't help but feel deserted.

I grew up in Indiana and was a freshman in HS when they moved to Indy.  I moved to Ohio in 2012.  As a Purdue Alum I swore I never would be an OSU fan, but it really hasn't been that hard to like Ohio State (football and wrestling) I root for them and I am still an avid Purdue fan.  

 

As far as the Colts, my knee jerk reaction would be, no I won't follow the Colts to a city in another state.  But after further consideration I think I would have to root for them.  I like the Irsay's, I really like Chris Ballard and I like how the organization is ran.  Even though Jim can be a little weird at times.

 

However, if another team moved to Indy or the league is expanded and includes a team for Indy I would most definitely have to become a fan of the new team.   

 

So my short answer is (lol), I would root for the Colts and the new team just as I root for Purdue and OSU.  Its a little different since I moved and not the organization but the allegiance theme is the same.

I followed them from Baltimore have been a fan since 1968 I bleed BLUE 

[Dark Superman]

Of course, but I prefer them to stay in Indianapolis.

[bap1331]

Depends where. If it was a big city, no. Fans with big cities are the rowdiest and most annoying. Aka Dallas.

Sure, as long as that city was Bloomington, or Lafayette, or Ft. Wayne, or Terre Haute, or Crawfordsville, or ......

[atapcl]

Been a Colts fan since 1958 and would still be if they left.

[CR91]

I'm a colts junkie through and blue

[Knuckles79]

Yes, I live in North Carolina . My dad has been a Colt since Baltimore days and that's how a became a fan. Has nothing to do with the city or state for me. I will admit I do enjoy Indianapolis while I am there tho.

[coltsfan77]

Yes. Been a colt fan since 77! Watched colts vs browns in Baltimore as a young boy for my first live game! Hated when they left, but followed as long as they kept the Shoe!! Old school!!

[horseshoepower]

I've never lived in Indiana, so it wouldn't matter to me. now the important thing is the uniforms need to stay the same!

[Myles]

Probably still be a fan, but it would whither.   Also depends how they left. 

[GwinnettColt]

Back in about 2000, I honestly thought that they could be moving to Los Angeles as there were some rumblings among fanbases and forums back then.  This was before Lucas Oil was planned.  I was determined to root for the LA Colts (man, that was weird even typing it) and go to at least a game every other year.  

Yes, I'd still root for the Colts.  

[IinD]

Would be tough going to any home games if they go to Siberia or North Korea.

 

I'm pretty sure the only dip in fan numbers you'd see would likely be in the local Indy area.

But seriously, if the modern day Colts moved to another city, would you still be a fan of them?

 

Me? I would be. Its the team I grew up with. 

Already lived through that scenario and I'm still here.  I have more of a personal connection to Baltimore than Indy as B-more is my birth town.  Thus, the Colts moving from Indy would have no impact on my continued Colts fandom. 

 

Fortunately for you guys the Colts leaving Indy isn't anything that you have to worry about anytime soon thanks to Peyton Manning.

Yes very important!  If they had ditched the Colts name, logo and uniform when they moved to Indy I'd probably be a Ravens or  expansion Baltimore Colts fan by now.  lol

If they ditched the shoe and Colts name I'd then become a casual football fan.

 

Basically watch whatever's on and root for no one.

 

But as long as they're the Colts with the shoe I'm good, anything else I'm out as an nfl fan. I'd then be a 'football' fan with no allegiance.
