The Indianapolis Colts on Thursday morning unveiled their new “Indiana Nights” alternate uniforms, which will make their on-field debut against the Cleveland Browns on Oct. 22.
The helmet is Anvil Black, which was added to the Colts’ color scheme as part of a uniform update in 2020 and is only used on the Nike Swoosh of their white road jerseys. It features the team’s iconic horseshoe logo on both sides, as well as a heathered blue and white stripe down the middle.
The black helmet is a significant departure from the Colts’ historic look, as they have almost exclusively worn white helmets since 1956 – aside from one game in 2010 when they wore 1955 throwback uniforms, which featured navy blue helmets.
The heather blue jerseys, meanwhile, are different from their home and road uniforms, with the secondary “C” logo on the left chest and white numbers with a black stroke. The UCLA stripes remain but now run horizontal across the shoulders.
The uniforms are complete with matching blue pants and blue socks, reminiscent of Indianapolis’ Color Rush set, which will still be worn for one game this season. The same goes for the Colts’ 1956 throwback uniforms, which will return for their Week 15 game against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
