Several teams have already unveiled new "alternate" helmets for the 2022 season.

 

IF the Colts were to consider adding an "alternate" this season - what would YOU like it to be?

IDK, surprise me :)

An all blue helmet similar to the throwback one they were the 2016 season. I also wouldn’t be opposed to a black and blue uni/helmet .

No thanks. I think our helmets look good as is.

All these black helmets seem a bit worn to me.  In fact of all the alternate helmets I've seen thus far the best one is the Texans who went with red.  That one looks pretty sharp.

 

Colts will probably go with the blue helms and wear them for a few home games.  That's my expectation at least.

Isaiah Rodgers has shown a matte black Colts helmet he had custom made. This is a signed one (Pat McAfee), but similar look:

For an alternate that would only get worn probably once a season, I'd love to see it with a matching black uniform with blue accents. I know the white and blue is sacred in this fanbase, but for 1 game, I don't see why not?

I just noticed they actually have rules for these helmets to be accepted. Kinda

 

 

The one-shell rule was originally put in place due to concern that brand-new helmets worn only occasionally would not be as safe as the usual ones because they would not have been worn in enough to conform to the players' heads, which can be less safe. To address these concerns, the new allowances for alternate helmets mandate that alternate helmets must be made available starting during training camp, and fitted to players at the same time as the standard option. In addition, players will be required to wear the alternate helmet in the week leading up to any game in which the team is wearing them, to ensure the helmet was been worn in enough to adequately protect all players.

 

With the safety issues accounted for, teams are now free to bring back uniforms from sometime in their history, or create a new look that has never been seen before. Teams can use the rule to showcase a throwback helmet from some period of their franchise history, which the Cowboys, Falcons, Giants and Patriots will be doing.

Please, I just ate.

 

There's a reason teams like the Colts, Packers, Vikings etc don't do this nonsense. Such classic designs can't be improved on and are perfect just how they are. The "color rush" is bad enough, no mas please.

Personally, I really love the color rush stuff. I like having a game or 2 a year with unique uniforms. 

 

I don't think a game or 2 a year tarnishes our traditions, I think it just makes the games fun. New looks are always a plus when they're done right.

I've seen these kicked around a couple times and love the matte black. I'd absolutely love to see all black unis with the same blue logo and lettering. 

 

Break'em out for the home game vs TN...

We do not care if you just ate, and clearly that is your Opinion. Plenty of other individuals in this form have a different opinion.

    • To me, AR looks bigger physically. At 21 he should make a huge impression on our rookies. AR looks huge!
    • As many times as Brady and company got caught cheating I don’t know how anyone can put him #1.  Especially a Colts fan. Just my two cents.
    • I’ve been dealing with sciatica issues for the last several months now. Started in late February randomly one day. In my lower back on the left side, and it goes down into my buttock and even down into my upper left leg some days. Some days it’s in my leg and not my back at all.  It’s entirely random. Some days I wake up and I feel alright. Even if I don’t do anything at all that day other than move around the house and take it easy, the next day I can wake up and I have to hunch my shoulders over and look down at my shoes to stand up straight with no pain. There have been days where I’ve been in terrible pain and had to do a ton of walking at work, and then the next day I actually feel pretty good. Some days when it’s in my leg I can use a heating pad under my left buttock and upper leg and it makes walking a little easier, and then some days I could set my backside on fire and every step is as painful as the last.    My point being, whatever it is he’s dealing with back there, if it’s anything like this, every day can be wildly different, and for no rhyme or reason. And this has been a thing with him since March. He was questionable down the stretch at the end of the season with this issue as well, which leads me to believe that it is indeed some kind of similar issue where it’s just luck of the draw how it bothers him day to day. Some days he’s not even questionable at all.    My doctor has told me to stretch and use heat or ice (ice has done nothing for any of it other than just make me cold,) and try to rest it as much as possible, but it’s looking this this may have to head to surgery. I go later this month to start figuring out those next steps. It’ll be telling to see if Haliburton participates in USA basketball this summer. Whatever his issue is isn’t bad enough to keep him off the court, but that could be time he’s going to have to devote to resting up or other treatment instead of going to France and taking part in the games to get fully healed up.    It’s almost like the shooting motion was bothering him last night. He's never been afraid to let them fly, even when he’s not hitting. But last night, even in a close late game, he wasn’t taking them. And the other guys weren’t even passing to him like they normally do. Once the ball left his hands at the top of the key it usually didn’t make its way back around to him. The only reason they wouldn’t get the ball into his hands more, especially late in a close game, would be because they knew he was dealing with something.    I absolutely believe he’s dealing with something because I’m living it myself. But carlisle needs to man up and use the hook in a situation like last night where he was inhibited instead of using him as a decoy. McConnell is good enough that we don’t need a decoy out there. 
    • These are the Reception Perception charting numbers for Mitchell:     They also have him charted in the 83-85th percentile against man and against press coverage.    edit: I just realized you asked for Pierce. Sorry... don't have those numbers.    edit 2: found this on Pierce as a prospect:
