Colts to wear alternate uniforms for one game during 2025 season
This will be the third straight season that the Colts have worn these uniforms. They debuted them in 2023 against Cleveland and then wore them again in 2024 against Detroit.
One big difference is that this season will be the first time that the Colts will wear these uniforms at night with their matchup against the 49ers taking place on Monday Night Football.
As noted on the team site, these jerseys are "inspired by the blue and black of the Indiana night sky."
Features on the uniform will include:
Black Helmet & Black Trim
Blue Heather Material.
Colts "Indiana" C Logo.
Classic Numbers.
Two Horizontal Stripes.
The Colts also announced that their Week 2 home matchup with Denver will be a whiteout.

Max Holloway has a thankless task ahead of him at UFC 318 — yet that's just fine with him
It's true that when Max Holloway went down to Rio de Janeiro to unify the featherweight title against Jose Aldo in 2017, he didn't receive the warmest reception. He heard some boos, but he'd already won the hearts of fight fans by that time through a steady dose of perseverance and pidgin speak, so the 'uh vai morrer' chants were barely meant. When he fought Sweden's own Akira Corassani in Stockholm, well, they booed him there, too, but he drowned them out with efficiency. He needed just three minutes and change to disappoint the natives, an action which they quickly forgave. That's because Holloway's never really been a heel. And the truth is, he isn't this time, either, as he gets set to take on Louisiana's favorite son, Dustin Poirier, in the heart of New Orleans at UFC 318. Yet there is so much love out there for Poirier's swan song that it's tempting to see Max as a nuisance in town to spoil the festivities. The UFC ran a promo of Tremé/Lafitte's own Trombone Shorty playing a version of 'House of the Rising Sun' to welcome Poirier home. Bourbon Street is glittering with diamonds, and the sentiment all week has been that those babies are forever. All except this one, who is walking away after what will be his 32nd fight in the UFC. The sendoff shindig they're throwing for Poirier is a testament to how much he's meant to MMA. His very own pay-per-view. It's Holloway's BMF belt that will be at stake, but that's a secondary attraction to the idea of two legends putting a bow on a drawn-out trilogy. Poirier has beat Max twice in the past. The biggest difference is that this time Max is a real 155-pounder, rather than in the 2019 sequel where he was a featherweight masquerading as one. The first fight was so long ago that it's hard to believe there's surviving footage. It happened at UFC 143, in 2012, when Max was just 20 years old. Lifetimes have come and gone. They've fought more than 60 combined fights since that first encounter. These 13 years later, Poirier meeting Holloway is a rare full-circle moment in MMA. It's a wild fight. And from a romantic standpoint, it would be amazing to see Poirier ride off into the sunset with the BMF title strapped over his shoulder, while all of Louisiana celebrates the occasion. Problem is the UFC's business model is strictly unromantic. Traditionally, it sends its legends off with a cruel beating. They fed Frankie Edgar to the much younger Chris Gutierrez in his farewell fight at Madison Square Garden, just 75 miles from Toms River, New Jersey where Frankie grew up, and it was one of the more depressing farewells you'll ever see. The UFC already tried a version of that by throwing Poirier to Benoit Saint-Denis in March 2024. All that did was set him up for a unexpected title shot. The worst you can say about Saturday's main event is that it sucks that somebody has to lose. In contemplating tomorrows, though, Holloway is the only one with real stakes. A victory could mean he's on his way to a title fight against the man who recently beat him at 145 pounds, Ilia Topuria. Or, you know — maybe not! He just watched Paddy Pimblett face off with Topuria in the Octagon after Topuria won the vacant title a few weeks back at UFC 317. Holloway knows he could be fighting just to stay in the proverbial mix. Which of course is a thankless task. Max is being asked to ruin the party on Saturday night, to sober up the French Quarter and replace all the beads with leis. In some ways, he relishes being the 'bad guy.' He did his part to rile things up by saying that 'gumbo sucks' at UFC 318's pre-fight press conference on Thursday, which was about as offensive as he runs. Yet there almost seems to be a gentleman's agreement in place that the fight will very much be a fight. That it will deliver. And in celebrating Poirier's legacy — which includes his redemption against Conor McGregor, that comeback against "BSD," the barnburner with Dan Hooker, all the way back to upsetting Josh Grispi in his promotional debut — you know he will try to put on a show. He will default into the thing that has distinguished him for the past 13 years in the UFC, into the brawler who refuses to go out on anything other than his shield. Of course, Max will meet him there, because that's what Max does. When he pointed to the center of the Octagon against Ricardo Lamas at UFC 199 toward the end of the fight, he was already up on the scorecards. The firefight was a bonus. He did the same thing in winning the BMF belt against Justin Gaethje at UFC 300, in a fight that people thought he was crazy to take to begin with. He rolled out his chin on a red carpet and said "come get it" to the man who was already down. And with a second left, he dropped Gaethje where he stood in what the UFC has called 'the greatest knockout of all time.' They will pull for Louisiana's native son in New Orleans, but you can't hate on Max. Why? Because even if you're booing him, he's always had the fight game's interest in mind. He's not a heel. He will make sure that he does his part to put on a show, which is why we all love Max. And he knows just how to send off a beloved legend.

Snoop Dogg is latest American celebrity to buy a stake in an English Football League club
Snoop Dogg told us long ago that he's got his mind on his money and his money on his mind. Now he's got his mind on using some of that money to become the latest American celebrity to invest in an English Football League team. On Thursday, Welsh club Swansea City announced that the hip-hop legend, whose real name is Calvin Broadus, is joining its ownership group. It was not disclosed what percentage of the club is now owned by Snoop Dogg or how much he invested in the team. The announcement came days after the 'Gin & Juice' rapper helped reveal Swansea City's uniforms for the upcoming season by posing in the new home jersey in a video posted to Instagram. 'My love of football is well known, but it feels special to me that I make my move into club ownership with Swansea City,' Snoop Dogg said in a statement released Thursday by Swansea City. 'The story of the club and the area really struck a chord with me. This is a proud, working class city and club. An underdog that bites back, just like me. 'I'm proud to be part of Swansea City. I am going to do all I can to help the club.' Swansea City plays in the EFL Championship, the league's second tier, which means Snoop Dogg's team will be competing against the likes of Wrexham, which was famously purchased in 2020 by actors Rob McElhenney and Ryan Reynolds), and Birmingham City, which boasts NFL legend Tom Brady as a minority owner. Other famous Americans who own stakes in EFL teams include Lakers superstar LeBron James (Liverpool) and former NFL star J.J. Watt and his wife and former NWSL star Kealia Watt (Burnley). Once a polarizing gangsta rapper and now a beloved pop culture icon, Snoop Dogg has expressed interest in owning a soccer team before. The 'Drop It Like It's Hot' rapper told the Daily Record in 2012 that he wouldn't mind purchasing a stake in a specific Scottish club. 'I see how passionate Celtic fans are about their team,' Snoop Dogg said, 'and I could see myself making an investment if any of the board wanted to sell.' He added: 'The boxes at Celtic would never be the same once I have hosted a party there.' Now Snopp Dogg is finally a club owner, and Swansea City is happy to have him. 'To borrow a phrase from Snoop's back catalogue, this announcement is the next episode for Swansea City as we seek to create new opportunities to boost the club's reach and profile,' the club said in a statement. 'Snoop's colossal global fanbase and audience will certainly help us do that, and he has made clear to us throughout this process just how excited he is at the prospect of joining the club. ... We expect his involvement to support us putting as competitive a team as possible out on the field.'

Colts S Cam Bynum weighs in on QB competition with Daniel Jones, Anthony Richardson
Colts' safety Cam Bynum recently shared his thoughts on the QB competition between Anthony Richardson and Daniel Jones. Indianapolis Colts' safety Cam Bynum recently appeared on 'The Insiders', and among the topics discussed was the team's quarterback competition. "I think this is a great scenario for any quarterback to be in, Bynum told Tom Pelissero. "Obviously, it's an uncomfortable spot because you're competing for one spot, but as a competitor, that's what you want. You don't want things given to you, so both quarterbacks are in there grinding, trying to earn their way to be the starter this year. Both are looking extremely well and playing well in the spring. Bynum continued: "So I'm excited to see how it plays out, but no matter what, as a player on this defense, being able to go up against them, they're giving us challenges and I think no matter who the team picks, and who the leadership picks at quarterback as the starter this season, I'm confident in both." Anthony Richardson would miss most of offseason programs working through a shoulder injury. However, ESPN's Stephen Holde reported that Richardson is "believed to have recovered from his recent right shoulder setback" with training camp almost here. Holder also added that Richardson has been throwing, but that the Colts' medical staff still has to check him out. A "pitch count" early on in practices could still be a possibility. While Richardson was sidelined, Daniel Jones took all of the first-team reps, and from the sounds of it, made the most of those opportunities. Those performances won't determine who the Week 1 starter is, but with fewer reps, Richardson will have to hit the ground running. Regardless of how things shake out with this competition, Bynum is confident in both Richardson and Jones, along with the help that is around each of those players. "I know both can get the job done, especially with the team around," Bynum added. "The O-line that we have, the run game that we can establish, and solid receivers across the board, I know whoever ends up winning it will get the job done and do really well. "But I think it's a good scenario for anybody to really have that pressure to push them forward, and it's going to be a fun training camp knowing that you're going against quarterbacks that are fighting for something, so they're obviously going to be playing as hard as they possibly can."
