Colts Super Bowl Wins: Baltimore and Indianapolis History

• Franchise record: two wins and two losses through Super Bowl LX.

• Latest win: February 4, 2007, completing the 2006 season.
• The game MVP can belong to the opponent, including Dallas in V.

Baltimore Colts Super Bowl wins and Indianapolis Colts Super Bowl wins belong to one franchise history, but they describe different city eras. That distinction matters when a fan asks how many titles Indianapolis has won or chooses a jersey connected with Johnny Unitas or Peyton Manning. Start with the complete record, then narrow it to the city and season you mean.

Indianapolis Colts Super Bowl record at a glance

The season is the football season being completed; the game takes place in the next calendar year. Home-style and away-style describe the jersey, not the Super Bowl venue. The MVP column records the game award, including opponents.

How many Super Bowls did the Colts win in each city?

The franchise won one Super Bowl in Baltimore and one after its move to Indianapolis in 1984. Baltimore's two appearances produced a loss to the Jets and a victory over Dallas. Indianapolis later split its two appearances, beating Chicago and losing to New Orleans. Calling both titles Indianapolis victories skips the location of the earlier team; leaving the Baltimore title out altogether understates the franchise total.

The older NFL championship record needs its own label. Baltimore's 1958 and 1959 league titles came before the Super Bowl existed. The 1968 NFL championship sent the Colts to Super Bowl III, where the Jets won. A pre-merger league title therefore cannot simply be added to the Super Bowl wins column. The table counts only the final itself, with the Colts' score listed first.

The Baltimore breakthrough: Super Bowl V

Baltimore beat Dallas 16–13 on January 17, 1971, completing the 1970 season. Jim O'Brien's late field goal supplied the winning points. Johnny Unitas started at quarterback before an injury brought Earl Morrall into the game. The result followed Baltimore's 16–7 defeat against New York two years earlier, giving the city a different ending at the same Orange Bowl venue.

Chuck Howley, a Dallas linebacker, received the Super Bowl V MVP award despite his team's defeat. This is why the MVP column does not always name a Colt, even on a winning row. Unitas' connection with the championship remains real, but calling him that game's MVP would confuse an individual honor with the team result. A later portrait of Unitas illustrates the player, rather than documenting that January game.

When did the Colts last win the Super Bowl?

The Colts' last Super Bowl win was February 4, 2007: Indianapolis beat Chicago 29–17 in XLI. It completed the 2006 season, so the phrases '2006 championship team' and '2007 Super Bowl winner' refer to the same achievement. Peyton Manning won the game MVP award. This was Indianapolis' first Super Bowl championship and remains its only one through LX.

Manning also took Indianapolis to XLIV after the 2009 season. New Orleans won that February 2010 matchup 31–17, and Drew Brees was the game MVP. A Manning jersey can recall either appearance, but the two games have different outcomes and uniform colors. His later Denver career belongs to a separate team record and does not add another victory to the Colts' total.

What the Colts wore: blue twice in Baltimore, white for XLI

Baltimore wore blue jerseys in both III and V. Indianapolis wore white against Chicago in XLI, then blue against New Orleans in XLIV. These actual colors are more useful for identifying a game than a generic home or away label. Every Colts appearance in this table took place in the Miami area, so home-style blue does not mean the game was played in Baltimore or Indianapolis.

For a championship-specific tribute, pair blue with V or white with XLI. Check the name, number, sleeve treatment and stated edition when comparing a throwback with a modern shirt. A royal-blue Jonathan Taylor catalog jersey is a contemporary team example; it is not Manning's white XLI jersey or a Baltimore-era reproduction. Product color alone cannot establish a particular game's patch or construction.

For a modern catalog option, see the Jonathan Taylor royal Limited jersey. Check its listed edition rather than treating it as a game-specific reproduction.

Shop the look by city and era

Use the legends jersey collection to explore older player references, or browse Tyler Warren jerseys for a modern Colts choice. Select the historical story first: Baltimore's breakthrough, Indianapolis' XLI title, or everyday support for the team. That keeps a current player purchase from being mistaken for a historical game jersey.

For a gift note or display card, write the city, season and Roman numeral together: 'Indianapolis, 2006 season, Super Bowl XLI.' Read the listing for the actual player and edition rather than assuming any white Colts jersey reproduces the winning outfit. The Colts uniform history guide offers the broader design timeline beyond these four appearances.
