The Colt .45 uni’s are just plain classic. I see nothing wrong with letting them be worn. Everyone needs to lighten up and quit trying to be so damn PC!

The High Desert Mavericks new logo is awful. Just as bad as the last one.

Notice how for Carolina panthers it says “Coming soon” cause they have a new logo, well it says the same for the Seattle seahwaks, meaning they probably have a new logo also this year!

Obviously if any team ever calls themselves the Colts would have their own identity from Indy. And it would definitely be named after the horse.

Jeff, this is not a PC issue. It’s a concern about promoting the use of handguns, after which the Colts were named.

This brings up an idea: when the Astros move to the American League, how about they change their name to the Colts, after the horse rather than the pistol? They’d have to be careful to be as different in identity from Indy as possible to avoid lawsuit.

I don’t know about you but I think it’s better to have the Colt .45s with a gun than without one. I’d rather a team show off a gun then show of a beer

Glad to see that MLB backed off and allowed the use of the correct Colt 45’s uniform. As much as that is now non-PC, it is part of Houston’s uniform history, and it should be acknowledged appropriately. And it’s not like Houston will be wearing the uniform all year – I believe they will only be wearing it in 2 games.
MLB went through a similar scenario when they did not allow Tampa Bay to have the cigar on the minor league throwback uniform they wore last year. The throwback uniform definitely lacked the vintage flair without the cigar.

Look at the C and the gun very closely. Why do you think the Bullets were forced to change their name to the Wizards?

“As creative as the Colt 45′s logo is with the C acting as gunsmoke, that logo wouldn’t be appropriate today.”

Why? I’m confused. Seriously. I have no clue where you are coming from.

As creative as the Colt 45’s logo is with the C acting as gunsmoke, that logo wouldn’t be appropriate today. Obviously. But it’s still good that the Astros brought this back for a few games to honour the franchise from the beginning. Colts alone would’ve worked today minus the gun. The odd time, you see the Wizards wear the Bullets uniforms. I say if it’s just several games, let them wear it.
