Do the Indianapolis Colts fly a banner for the Baltimore Colts SB 5 wi (1 Viewer)

[Capella]

If not, do the Baltimore Ravens do so? Does anybody?

Is the Indianapolis Colts franchise recognized with two Super Bowl wins? Or just the one?

Don't know why I got to thinking about this today, but now I'm curious.

Baltimore fans for the most part got closure on this issue when Johnny U disowned the Colts and embraced the Ravens before he died. Upward and onward I suppose. I don't know what Indy does with any banner but if I were a fan there I would have preferred a fresh team and a fresh start rather than inheriting some other city's football history.

 

[Capella]

Yea, I just saw on Wiki that Indy has that SB win acknowledged next to them.

Now I'm curious who flies the banner.

 

[Mr. Retukes]

Looks like Indy does not have any banners celebrating the Baltimore Colts accomplishments.

 

[JZilla]

My guess is that it's not hanging anywhere. Need an Indy person to confirm I guess. Google search proves inconclusive.

There ain't Colts #### hanging at M&T that I've seen

Baltimore has a Colts Ring Of Honor at their stadium.

 

[Mr. Retukes]

"The Colts flag commemorating the 1958, 1959 and 1970 world championships was displayed alongside the Ravens Super Bowl XXXV flag"

Doesn't say if it was a permanent thing or not, however.

Yeah I was referring to team stuff.. I think it's just names and numbers in the ring of honor.. I'm pretty sure there are no horseshoes on any kind of permanent display, but I could be wrong. I go about once a year but I'm usually drunk.

They don't fly the one from Super Bowl lll.

 

[gilpdawg]

Colts have never flown any Baltimore-era stuff, either in the Dome or in the Luke.

 

[Tom Servo]

Many of you were too young to see SB 5; it was a horribly played game. Colts fans shouldn't have to be hung with that; leave that to Baltimore.

There's a huge Johnny Unitas banner hanging outside of M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore.

Not to mention the statue...

This. No former Baltimore Colts players in the Ring of Honor, either.

The Ravens do not own the history from their previous city. When the NFL put an expansion team back in Cleveland, the new franchise was allowed to use the Cleveland Browns name, and own the history of the previous Cleveland Browns incarnation: Jim Brown, Brian Sipe, Ozzie Newsome, Earnest Byner's goal-line fumble, etc.

I always thought this is the silliest of things. It's one franchise. The new Browns are a new franchise. The continuity of players shows that. It has played in different places. That the Browns are singular in this regard is even more ridiculous IMO. As to whether a team in a current locations chooses whether to display stuff from the prior city - I really think that's up to the team to be honest.Do the St. Louis Rams display anything for the Cleveland Rams championship season?And what the heck exactly are the Raiders really supposed to do. Display XV but not XVIII?-QG

It's nice to see that Indy knows they have no claims to the Baltimore Colts

Very good point sir

 

[kaa]

I don't see any reason for the Colts franchise to not celebrate the win in the Super Bowl from their Baltimore years. The franchise won it. At the same time, I don't see a reason for the city of Baltimore not to celebrate that same title, since it was won by a team that represented them that year.

How about the Eagles and Steelers? The Steelers at one point had to merge with the Eagles to survive. They were basically a subdivision of Eagles football for a while there. Should they get to lay claim to each other's legacies?

I hear you. Are you listening, the LA Lakers?

 

[QuizGuy66]

Btw, I have to do a mini-threadjack here as I found this factoid about those Portsmouth Spartans:

"Early highlights as the Portsmouth Spartans include the "iron man" game against Green Bay in 1932. In that game, Spartan coach Potsy Clark refused to make even a single substitution against the defending NFL champion Packers. Portsmouth won 19–0 and used only 11 players all game."

So it's like youth soccer - everyone gets a trophy?

Dodgers sure claim the Brooklyn years.

 

[TommyGilmore]

Dodgers sure claim the Brooklyn years.

That's a bit different because there was never another team in Brooklyn.

If the team has the same ownership, it's not surprising when that owner continues to identify with the team's time from the old city. The Bidwells have owned the team since the Chicago days; I don't know if it's true, but it wouldn't surprise me if Arizona commemorates the Cardinals' championship in 1947.

I assume that the historian in you knows about when and how Robert Irsay gained ownership of the Colts and how the events of the following dozen or so years reshaped the NFL.

 

[saintsfan]

I don't think the team should get to claim that once they leave a city. Of course, I'm a Celtics fan and a Laker hater and I don't think the Mikan era titles should count, so I might be a bit biased.
