The Indianapolis Colts will wear throwback uniforms for their home game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 12 on Nov. 28 at Lucas Oil Stadium, the team announced Wednesday.
The uniforms will have a style specific to the 1956 Baltimore Colts team and the uniforms they wore.
“Unitas, Moore, Berry, Donovan, Marchetti, Shula … all members of the Pro Football Hall of Fame and all members of the legendary Colts teams of the late 1950s. These players won championships, defined an era of sports and helped build our franchise and the NFL into what they are today. This season, we will honor the legends that came before during our ‘Throwback Game’ on November 28.”
It isn’t clear whether the Bucs will be wearing their throwback “creamsicle” uniforms, but it would follow the theme of a throwback game and would be a nice change in visuals.
A nod to the past. Built for now.
