Is there a new Colts jersey in 2026?
Yes. The Colts unveiled the "Anvil Strike" Rivalries uniform on August 25, 2026, with a scheduled September 27 debut at Lucas Oil Stadium against Houston. The design draws on the anvil as a symbol of strength. The jersey is a dark anthracite shade Nike calls "Anvil Steel," the helmet has a high-shine metallic blue finish, and for the first time in team history the silver horseshoe is part of the jersey. "For The Shoe" is inside the collar and "INDY" is on the front helmet bumper. Official gear went on sale September 1. See the Jonathan Taylor Rivalries jersey.
The Colts' primary uniforms are largely unchanged since 1953.
