Mango Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 I get what they tried to do with putting the state inside the “C”, but it looks like a normal “C” that he a stroke. 2 7 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don Otreply Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 The state silhouette has some possibilities, but overall the C is to collegiate for my tastes, they are the “Colts” after all and the horse shoe has the gravitas of the clubs history behind it. Johnny Unitas and Peyton Manning is what I’m thinking, christ I’m old... I really do dislike the sleazery of how the NFL allows teams to be poached/moved, Indianapolis Colts my azs... ya, it’s a lawn thing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Augie Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 (edited) Leave the uniforms and logos alone! I know they want to make more money if we buy new stuff, but the only uniform that was better off retired was Buccaneer Bruce and the creamsicle Bucs. (Not that there’s anything wrong with that.) Bills helmets #3 and 4 were hideous. Stop messing with tradition to make more money. I’ll pay for the good stuff, thank you. I want none of the new garbage. OH, and...........GET OFF MY LAWN! .

The state in the C is pretty cool though I don’t know what the original meaning was, but the dots are from the horseshoe logo. The horseshoe has 7 grommets around it so they added that feature to the new C logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KD in CA Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 Looks like crap. I'm no graphic designer, but I thought a 'secondary logo' was generally just a simplified version of the main logo (eg., just the artwork, not the company name). This isn't a secondary logo, it's a completely different logo.....and it sucks ass. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bookie Man Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 I can dig it. Didn't they add a 3rd color to the scheme? I thought I saw a picture where it featured some grey. It was pretty badly needed imo. Fine line between classic and boring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You wanna move your franchise because the locals aren’t lining your pockets enough? Fine. It’s your toy. But leave the team name & logo to the city. I’ve never given Indy credit, but I’m an old codger who knew and loved the Baltimore Colts. <rant off> 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
