INDIANAPOLIS – When the Indianapolis Colts take the field against the Detroit Lions on Sunday, they’ll wear their “Indiana Nights” uniforms.
The alternative uniforms feature a heather blue jersey and pants, black helmets with a blue horseshoe and stripe, white numbering and horizontal shoulder stripes.
The team first donned the Indiana Nights uniforms last season against the Cleveland Browns during their Oct. 22, 2023, matchup. This is the second time they’ve worn them during a game.
