Colts will be wearing a special uniform against Steelers on Monday Night Football
When the Indianapolis Colts host the Pittsburgh Steelers for Monday Night Football, Indy will be donning some alternate uniforms.
Primetime games are always a special occasion, and that’s why when the Indianapolis Colts host the Pittsburgh Steelers for their Week 12 matchup on Monday Night Football, Indy will be rocking some special uniforms. Instead of the traditional home gear, the Colts will be wearing a 1956 throwback uniform as they try to defeat the Steelers.
The 1956 uniform comes with two horseshoes on the back of the helmet as opposed to the side and the blue jerseys have three stripes on the side of the shoulder, as do the blue socks that are worn as part of the uniform. Additionally, the white pants only have one blue stripe down the side, while the modern uniforms have two. The throwback “Bucking Horse” logo will also be seen throughout game day.

Colts will wear 1956 throwback uniforms on Monday Night Football
This uniform is an ode to one of the great eras of Colts football. During the 1950s, back when the team was in Baltimore, the Colts were one of the more dominant teams in the league, winning NFL championships in 1958 and 1959. The team was also filled with legendary Hall of Famers like Johnny Unitas, Lenny Moore, Raymond Berry, and more.
This won’t be the first time that Indianapolis wears these uniforms. Indy wore them last season in Week 12 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Unfortunately, Indianapolis lost that game 38-31. It was a good performance against a quality team but the Colts made too many costly mistakes in the second half.
Now, wearing the uniforms on Monday Night Football against the 3-7 Pittsburgh Steelers, Indianapolis is hoping to get a win in the throwback uniforms. If Indy does that, it will be the first home win of Jeff Saturday’s coaching career and Indianapolis will move to 5-6-1, keeping the season alive.
