Can the Colts replace the 8 bit helmet logo with a horeshoe


Recommended Posts

I get the “old school” mentality of the current logo but it would look very sharp to have a horseshoe on the field instead. 
I have to admit I cringe when I see the low quality helmet logo when watching home games

I'm assuming you are talking about the mid field logo...I'm old school but think the old bucking horse logo would look cool. Horseshoe on the helmet must stay

Change nothing except the numbers in the loss column. The horseshoe is to the Colts what the Statue of Liberty is to the United States of America.

He's not talking about changing the horse shoe. Just the helmet with the horseshoe on it.

Yes. A larger horseshoe without the helmet. Simple but the horseshoe is the best logo in the NFL. 
This is coming from a guy in south Louisiana where everything is a fleur de lid (Saints logo)

The flag of the US is a better comparison to the horseshoe.

The flag has been modified many times, not so our lady.

If the players decide to wear those guardian caps in 2024 the logo won't be visible, so the logo issue is null & void.

2 things. 

 

1. The op is talking about the logo at the 50 yard line.

 

2. The guardian caps will have logos

Exactly, and so has the Colts logo. For all intents and purposes, the team was the Dallas Texans for one year. Then in Baltimore, there were a few iterations of the logo. The logo was last modified in 2002. That's why I said the flag is a better comp. Also, the Statue of Liberty is a national monument, but it's not the official symbol of the US. The Colts logo is the official symbol of the team, but I digress.

The team was the Dallas Texans not the Colts. When you leave town you die ask old Baltimore Colts fans. Even Unitas said he would never step foot in Indianapolis.  The Cleveland Browns were the Cleveland Browns. They died, They were extinct just like the Texans. The Ravens were created in Baltimore, not the former Browns. There is no hyphen in their name.

I'm an old Colts fan ...and followed them to Indy. Still a Colts fan. .... I get a kick out of Mel Kiper who was a Baltimore Colts fan but now doesn't like the Colts because they moved to Indy. Instead he is a Ravens fan...you know, the team they stole from Cleveland. Can you say hypocrite?

I have been a fan since 1956 and I would not wipe my rear with a Ravens logo. To me, the Colts did not leave Baltimore they deserted it.

They left Baltimore for greener pastures.   Happens all the time in Sports.  I followed them to Indy as well.  If something happens in Indy and they move again I will follow them to that city.  Owners die and teams are sold.  Anything can happen and it usually does.

I think as the team ownership slowly transitions from Jim to his daughters, the likelyhood of change and tweaks will increase. They will most likely honor the spirit of Jim's wishes when that day comes, but seek opportunity to put their own spin on things......I think we are already starting to see some signs of that already.

You leave out the facts of the move to Indy proving Isay was a low life scoundrel.

What was the city of Baltimore?   Trying to steal his team.   Seems plenty of scoundrels to go around.   Only 1 of which owned the team

But you’re still a Colts fan so you have moved on like the rest of us.

Of course but I never snuck out of anywhere in the dark unannounced. They still talk about it today and will continue to do so for many years.

I will say I stay with the Statue of Liberty because there is only one while there are billions of American flags on display nearly everywhere from underwear to hats, to jackets, pants, car bumpers, bathroom stalls, toolboxes, tattoos and even standing alongside of Swastika flags and Dixie flags.  I think we would find the majority of flags sold here are made in China.

I always feel my integrity questioned being from southern MD and remaining a Colts fan after they moved. I was 14 yrs old in '84. The Redskins were very good in those years, it would have been easy to just jump teams.. but it never would have felt right in my heart. They never died, just moved to a different pasture and I followed them there in spirit.

Agree. I'll leave this world a Colts fan but Baltimore is stuck in my fuel tank. "Indianapolis" is too many syllables. They should change the name of the city to "Indy."

And I have the horseshoe logo on hoodies, on t-shirts, on hats, on polos, on banners, on wall art, on a license plate cover, and on a car window decal. I still think the American flag is the better comp, unless Jim Irsay has built a giant horseshoe statue on an island in the Indianapolis canals that I haven't seen.

I don't dare doing any of those living in Houston.

Cubs are good this year and just won a World Series in 2016. King actually has bragging rights here. I love the Cubs, have since 1984.

I’m a huge Cubs fans and I even go back much further than that.

I lived in Clarksville, Tennessee for a spell about 20 years ago.  I had a Colts plate on the front bumper of my pickup.  Someone tore it off one night

    • I’m glad our team didn’t have the bears body language. At least they were encouraging AR on his mistakes. Williams on the other seemed like he is already on the hot seat and teammates are getting tired of it.
    • I will say this. AR imo threw the ball much MUCH better in his 4 games last year compared to his first 3 this year.  Not even close.   I have to believe a lot of that is due to him being unable to practice much on his mechanics until August or so.  Remember even during spring practice he was complaining of a sore shoulder and had to take some time off.   I fully believe that once he is totally over his injury that he will be able to take the extra reps needed to get back into a way of throwing without having to think so much.   I play a sport at a highly competitive level, won't say which one, but I broke my thumb this spring and I just now am start to get back into the swing of things.  But I am not even close to where I was before I broke it. 
    • Do you honestly think the Colts will win a SB, let alone make the playoffs....with Joe Flacco as QB?  I mean are you seriously pining for a 39 year old retread ala Matt Ryan to lead this team????   I am at a loss for that and the only thing that makes any sense is your complete dislike for AR is clouding your judgement.    AR is the future of this team.  He has a high ceiling and with him, and IF he progresses, the team could be a SB contender in a year or 2.  But with or without him there is no way in H E double toothpicks that this team wins a SB this year.  Just not enough ELITE talent on the team.  Honestly the only truly elite player on the entire team as of today is JT.  AR could be.  Not now but could be.   Besides that?  Nobody.  By elite I mean game changing talent.    So you ride with AR, hope he stays healthy and finishes the season, and improves. He makes good decisions for the most part.  The INT in the endzone today was not a good one but for the most part he does.  He just needs to gain experience and technique.    But saying JF should start, when at best....I mean AT BESt ALL HE DOES IS GET YOU into the first round of the playoffs?  Who cares.   I would rather see progression from AR, even it means suffering through a lot of losses, and get a high pick for next year rather than go through a 9-8 season with JF.  Remember the first Manning year he was not good, but he gained tons of experience.  We then got a super high draft pick where we drafted Edge the and we were off to the races after that.   I mean, haven't you had enough of Rivers, Wentz, Ryan and Mishew?  I cannot honestly believe people want to go back to that.   FJ is Matt Ryan PERSONIFIED. 
    • One progress I see is that he's finishing games so that's a step. The shoulder surgery and offseason rehab has definitely set him back for a raw guy who needs all the reps he can get. It was reported that AR has a total of 30 something starts at qb INCLUDING hs. Think about that most have that in high school alone. Caleb Williams is the 2nd youngest starting qb in the league and had 33 starts in college alone while winning a Heisman trophy. AR is the youngest starting qb in the league at just 22 but has extreme talent and natural gifts that have to be developed.   I think the staff is doing him a disservice by taking away the threat of his legs (see Lamar) because he is not a pocket passer. I think AR needs a go to TE and the Colts need to rely on the run more with JT until AR catches up from his lost rehab time. Give him some easy short throws to build his confidence before he starts throwing into coverage take the Josh Allen approach.   The biggest problem is that Ballard chose a project in AR instead of moving up to snag the polished CJ Stroud. Most teams move up to get their franchise guy unless they already have the number one pick overall. The reason why it's problem is that the fan base is starting to get restless and the thought of another few years of unfulfilled promise seems discouraging.   Once Ballard chose to sit pat AR was the right choice over the awful Will Levis who was a strong possibility if not for Shane according to Shefty and Will's people. Bottom line is that this will take time. Is the overall team good enough to make a push while AR goes through his growing pains to reach his full potential? I doubt it because Ballard's tenure has been spun in mediocrity at best.  
    • Honestly no, but then I didn’t expect to see any progress yet either. He basically lost an entire season and offseason because of injury.    I’ll be more concerned if there’s no progress next season.    What I think is much more of a concern this season is that Steichen’s playcalling seems to have regressed badly. I expected a vastly different offense than what we’re playing and I don’t think Steichen is helping AR at all.
