Finally some concrete info about when we will know what they look like: http://www.bizjournals.com/portland/blog/2012/03/nike-to-reveal-nfl-uniforms-april-3.html

The article says the Colts will remain pretty much the same but other teams like the Seahawks will look a lot different. That being said, the author predicts that the materials will change the look of all jerseys and helmets will be more stylized. It's a legit source since Nike is headquartered right outside Portland...

Excited to see what they look like. I expect to see something great as Nike makes the best stuff out there! They have the best golf clothes, workout clothes, etc.

For sure, and with all the turnover, I'm going to have to buy a new blue and white one. I'm thinking Luck and Mathis...

Well they are the only 2 players on the Colts that are guaranteed to be Colts next year :P Either way, I don't think it's worth restocking everything, it said it wasn't a big change for the Colts and viewing wise, nothing different, but I was talking to a sports store guy and he said the fabric should be completely different. The author mentioned that, but it was confirmed to me that the fabric will be different.

Exactly...and for a few years to come. Well, I wouldn't restock, but my jersey collection is Manning, DFree, Garcon, Wayne, and Sanders, and chances are, none of them are Colts next year. So I guess by default I have to...at least the timing is right with the new ones coming out.

I believe Under Armor could give them a run for their money now. That company has built a solid foundation.

They definitely can, except they have to wait 10 years as that's how long Nike signed the contract. Under armour makes great workout clothing, dont know about jerseys though.

I'm not sure either. Wouldn't be surprised if they get the next contract though. I'm just glad Reebok is gone. The last couple of years their designs sucked for fan apparel. Especially the hats.

I think Nike is light years ahead of Reebok so I'm going to love the switch. I think I'm going to have to buy an Angerer, Luck and Bethea Nike jersey. Maybe a Peyton one too if he goes to the Dolphins to get it signed and framed.

I really hope they don't look like those arena football-esque uniforms that have been circulating around the web....they look way too flashy, loud, and unprofessional for the most professional football league of them all, the NFL. I hope they're just minor adjustments to the current unis, because I thought the new Bills unis that came out last year looked great.

      Colts have the 15th pick in the draft. (MERGE)

      By shasta519 · Posted

      I don't see any scenario where they are giving up next year's R1 pick. It would be an opportunistic trade up that they can likely spread over this draft and next draft.   The MOST we have seen Ballard additionally give up in trade-ups is a mid-late R5 pick. Tyquan, JT, Cross.    For him to give up even a Day 2 pick would be out of character. So it would have to be quite the opportunity.

      So you would take Bowers over the top corner and/or edge or do you mean if they were equal value? Bowers looks good on tape but his size scares me a little for a team that is intent on running the ball. I think we have a lot of flash TE's on this roster already that need some time to develop with Richardson. You look at the TE room and I do some talent there but need time. I look at the corner and edge room and I  go meh!!

      Free agency tells you a lot where a team is going in the draft. They really see the need for a true rush end and even corner

      They wont go by that.  All of the above will be ranked on list together and it wont necessarily be by position

      Turner will not fall to us. He will be gone early . Everyone is expecting these wrs to fly off the board. Harbaugh builds in the trenches. I wouldn't shocked if he went D line early. Look at San Fran and Michigan. Power football and build in the trenches. This is a wr stacked draft and DE's are a luxury in this draft. U better get one early. Would  I trade up to get  a guy like Turner and or insert name if I believed he could be our next Freeney? U bet I would. Ballard has used the approach of trading back and hoping that the DE he drafts will become that guy and it hasn't turned out well for the Colts. To me it is time to target and go after that guy and if it means giving up a #1 then so be it. IF you go after a guy like Turner and he becomes that guy, you will not miss next year's 1st pick.  I do have a lot of faith in Richardson and  I feel if he stays healthy, he will be a superstar. So if Richardson comes in and lights it up and you have Turner, you are probably picking in the early 20's next year. So would i give up our #15 and next years #20 for a guy like Turner? For sure. IF Richardson bombs out and we finish with a top 5 pick, so be it. Houston took a gamble going for Anderson at 3 and how does that look now? They gave up their 1st this year which is in the 20's. I will take that every day. I actually don't think our 15 and next years 1st rounder would be enough to move up to get a guy like Turner. I think a GM say in the top 8 would project next years pick to be in the 20's based on what they feel would transpire with Richardson as our guy. Just my thoughts
