ESPN's roster page showed no numbers for the Colts, so numbers here come from the Colts' own roster page. Rosters change during the season, so confirm a player is still on the team before you order a name and number.
Famous numbers in Colts history
Number 19 is Johnny Unitas's, 18 is Peyton Manning's and 82 is Raymond Berry's. Number 24 is Lenny Moore's, retired in 1968. All eight retired numbers are tributes, so no current player wears them. Reggie Wayne's 87 and Marvin Harrison's 88 are not on the retired lists we checked. A number tells you the era, not the player, so always match it to a name.
Choosing a listed name and number
The Jonathan Taylor jersey and Tyler Warren jersey pages carry current numbers. A retired number is a tribute, not a current-player jersey. The NFL assigns number ranges by position, which affects which numbers a player can get. Our NFL jersey number rules guide covers those ranges. For team styles, start at the Indianapolis Colts jerseys page.
Matching a number to a listed jersey
For a royal current-player look, the Jonathan Taylor Game royal jersey carries No. 28. The Tyler Warren jersey collection is the listed route for No. 84. Sauce Gardner’s roster No. 1 establishes his playing number; it does not establish a Gardner product in this catalog. Compare player, audience and product photos before ordering.
