Colts Unveiled New Alternate Uni

[ProblChld32]

The new Alternate Uni is called “Indiana Nights” and will be worn in the week 7 matchup. I like the all black helmet. I know a lot of posters prefer the current uniforms that the players wear, but these are very clean uniforms IMO. Can’t wait to see them on the field.

Looks like Duke unis

I'm honestly shocked it's something different. Most of the time it's just all white or all blue. Looks good

So basically it's only a new color rush uni. Colts need to look into having an upgrade/update to their permanent unis imo. Involving more of the anvil black would be ideal.

It's about time we experimented with the black helmet! I'll take it!!

Why is Pierce and Thomas wearing a C?

It's the alternate logo. Colts wear it in the inside of their jersey

I need to see them in game action before having a final opinion. I appreciate that they are trying something new and I think there are some really nice aspects of the new alternates.

 

I really enjoy the white stripes on the pants and up the shoulder blades and the shade of blue they are using. Not a fan of everyone wearing the "C" patch on their chest.

 

I love the concept of the black helmet as well. I do wish it was matte black and didn't have the colors through the middle. The base of the back of the helmet with "Colts" is pretty sweet but I think the front "Colts" is too much.

It's not the Captain patch. It's the colts alternate logo.

Helmet is cool; rest is trash with the color rush scheme.

I think it looks horrendous. 

[Crush22]

Black helmet..........good thing nobody else has done that yet. 

If you're going to change it, make it blue.

[Patrick Miller]

I would be OK with implementing the black helmets permanently. Heck maybe the entire uniform.

I know, I didn't call it the captain's patch . The alt Colts logo, is also in fact a "C"

It's a C with the state of Indiana in it

[ColtsGermany]

I think it's pretty cool!

It’s something different than what we’ve seen them do before. That’s why I like it.

How are these that much different than the so-called “color rush” uni’s the teams wear once a year the last few seasons?

 

Inquiring minds want to know?    
 

 

Edit:  Are the helmets really black?   Or are they just really very dark blue?   Honest question. 
 

Edit2:   Couldn't tell about the helmets based on the Twitter pick in this thread.  But I’ve now seen the pick on the front of the website.   And they are indeed black.  I’d take them once a year, but that’s all.

The pants are the same I believe, but the jerseys are a different fabric and color scheme it seems.

I agree

[MB-ColtsFan]

I've always been a purist with regards the uni's, but these don't look terrible.  I can get by with once a year with these.

[Shive]

I think I would like the helmet more if they didn't do a white outline of the blue stripe, but overall, I like the uniforms.

 

I know a lot of folks here are purists and think our uniform is timeless and should never change, but every team has alternates that are different than their standard uniforms and it was about time we followed suit.

 

Its also not like we'll see these often either.

[bluephantom87]

 

Love the helmets!!!!

[Pelt]

A black helmet. How original. 

[IinD]

A blend of Duke and Boise State.

 

I know what new gear I WON'T be buying.. Lol

 

I'm sure young/newer fans will love it though.

[Chucklez]

What people need to realise is that this isnt a "new" uniform... Its just an alternate that they will occasionally roll out.

Personally I think its really clean and it's not over the top. I think its really good for the odd game.

To your first sentence and an ugly one at that 

[Farns01]

The uni’s are different per the video.  It is a heather fabric “first time in the NFL”

[Dunk]

I don't like it as much as the current uni's, but it's not terrible IMHO.

[Dingus McGirt]

Love the blatant marketing ploy.  Gross uniforms.

Unis look better in the video

[jvan1973]

The blue jerseys with white pants is the only combo for me.   If you want a different helmet,  fine.  The blue jersey  blue pants looks like a cheap college uni

[Tsarquise]

I love them! Can't wait to see them in action. 

[JackWV]

Alternate or not, the jersey will be marketed. It's all about money. 

[tfunky14]

If they win games I love the jersey/helmet

George Costanza changed the Yankees unis to 100% cotton and they shrank. I sure hope the healthier fabric isn't 100% cotton,!
