BProland85 Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 I personally like the old white helmets with blue facemasks. The one we have now, it just lacks color in my opinion since the helmet is white and the facemask really doesnt have color to it. Just my two cents. What are your thoughts?

Gavin Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 White helmets with blue facemasks although Im not against blue helmets and white facemask Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTC Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 I like the White Helmet with the blue face mask just because it matched with our uniform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SOMDColtsfan Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 When I see the white helmet with blue facemask I think "Indy Colts", which is what they are. The white helmet with gray facemask is just "Colts" as Ive always known and loved. Either way is fine with me as long as they dont go changing logos and color schemes, IMO, wouldnt be the same!

Hamboning Will Save URLife Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Personally, I love the throw-back Dark Blue helmet ! I think it is time to alter the current uniform's, they are too plain for my tastes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mustang82 Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Me personally I am not a fan of the blue facemasks. It's probably because I'm so used to what we have now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bavanlan Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 I'm not trying to be rude, but can you explain what you mean?All teams are allowed to have only one style/color helmet during the season unless they are using a throwback uniform. You can't have a home and an away helmet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bavanlan Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 Me personally I am not a fan of the blue facemasks. It's probably because I'm so used to what we have now...I know we had the blue masks in the mid-late 90's and white masks in the 80's and early 90's, but the blue masks feel like bad 80's masks (and not in a cool retro way).

Fx Stryker Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 I'm not trying to be rude, but can you explain what you mean?Teams can't have different looking helmets for home and away uniform. Alternate uniforms are allowed to have a different helmet variation though.Edit: Bavanlan covered it. Me personally I am not a fan of the blue facemasks. It's probably because I'm so used to what we have now...Depends on how long you've been a fan. If you're just an Indy fan you'd be use to the white mask the most. They wore them from 1984-1994. Blue facemasks from 1995-2003. The gray mask 2004-present.So for the Indy years it's 11 seasons as white masks, blue masks for 9 seasons, and grey masks for 9 seasons.The Baltimore years add a differenence to the look. Grey masks from 1954-1955 and 1957-1977. Blue mask for 1956, and white mask from 1978-1983.So total is blue mask for 10 seasons, white masks for 17 seasons, and grey mask for 32 seasons.Little fun fact for everyone.Personally I think the Colts should move away from grey masks because that is the Baltimore Colts look.

It's been proven here not everyone stopped being a Colts fan when they left Baltimore so I don't have a problem with the Colts claiming their history. There is no rule that said they had to shut the door on that when they moved. The Colts are one of the classic NFL teams and they are trying to tap into that. With that said even the Packers went to green facemasks and you don't get much more classic than the Packers and I happened to like the blue facemasks.

Fx Stryker Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 oh the blue pants lol 1995 had the 'flashy" uniforms compared to the rest of the franchise history. and I am sure the Colts would tell you the Colts history rather it be in Baltimore or Indianapolis is still the Colts history.

With that said even the Packers went to green facemasks and you don't get much more classic than the Packers and I happened to like the blue facemasks.Of course. It's still all Colts. Whether is be Balt, Indy, or Timbuctoo. It's all Colts to me, and I find Balt fans real petty for disclaiming a franchise. If you ask me I think if the Ravens and Colts were both in Balt. There would be more Colts fans. So for that they are petty becuase older fans are just Colt fans deep at heart, but tend to like their grudge.I like how they are keeping tradition with grey masks, but I like white or blue over grey. It seems to fit better on the uniforms. It may be that the blue color is a differnt shade since the Balt days. IDK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HarryTheCat Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 No matter which helmet or uniform, the Colts' look is always classic NFL, and they always look like they mean business. Some of the other teams in the league (and you know who they are!) look like they're ready for Halloween or the Roller Derby rink. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ohio Colt Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 Colts white helmet with horseshoe is the best in the nfl... Multiple fan bases see it as that. How could anyone wanna change it to blue???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericnan Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 I don't know how to get the image to post on this thread. So here is the link, but I kinda like the old old bucking Colt logo, on a dark blue helmet maybe? I dunno? Just playin' in the sandbox too. http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com/nfl/balticolts/baltcolts.html Upper right hand photo. Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
