Ruh roh, someone is upset (maybe about Super Bowl XLVI?).

Based on his location, I'm guessing it's XLI.

Hence, I was right about you guys trolling

I know this will never happen, and I do understand that the name won't change because it's too recognizable (like the LA Lakers), but I'm doing this just for fun.
Keep the name. When the Colts play in Baltimore I think they should put "Colts" back on their score board instead of "Indianapolis" then add 1984 next to it as a simple reminder.

The Kentucky derby possibly the most famous horse race in the world is run less than a 3 hour drive from Indy so i think the name Colts fits Indy maybe even better than Baltimore even though Maryland also has a classical equine history. When I drive down I65 to Loisville all I see is horse ranches so i think the name is really appropriate and if you would have left it up to the people of Indy they could have only done worse. There is only one other pro sports franchise that I think did better in transplanting an appropriate name and that was the Los Angeles lakers

Anyway to rename the Colts to something more Hoosier like LOL this could be fun

hmmmm

give me a minute

How about the Indyans? It's fun and politically correct.
