INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — The Indianapolis Colts are getting ready for their annual “Indiana Nights” game.
The Colts will wear the “Indiana Nights” uniforms on Monday night when the team faces the San Francisco 49ers. It will be the third straight year the Colts have worn the alternate uniform.
Some of the features of the “Indiana Nights” uniforms include:
Black helmet and black trim – In addition to the black helmets, the players’ uniforms will also feature black trim around the numbers, sleeves and body.
Blue heather material – The iconic blue is infused with depth and texture via a “heather style” which is the first of its kind in the NFL.
Colts “Indiana” C logo – The outline of Indiana is carved out of the “C” from the Colts’ word mark to honor the state and community.
Classic numbers – The appeal of the jersey numbers is preserved.
Two horizontal stripes – The stripes lay across the shoulder pads.
In addition, the team’s official mascot “Blue,” along with the Colts Cheerleaders, will wear “Indiana Nights” themed uniforms.
The first 50,000 fans to enter the stadium on Monday night will receive an “Indiana Nights” beanie.
Former Colts kicker Adam Vinatieri will hit the anvil to begin Monday’s “Indiana Nights” game.
The Colts have worn the “Indiana Nights” uniforms two times previously:
The Colts have yet to win when they’ve worn the “Indiana Nights” uniforms. They are hoping to change that this week.
They’re also hoping to just get back on the winning track. The Colts are on a four-game losing streak and are currently one spot outside of the AFC Playoffs if the season ended today.
“We said after the bye week how it’s going to be big to have a playoff stretch to complete the regular season,” Colts cornerback Kenny Moore II said after Sunday’s loss to the Seahawks. “Right now, we just got to stay positive and keep our approach to the game.”
Kickoff on Monday is set for 8:15 p.m. EDT inside Lucas Oil Stadium.
