What is the Indianapolis Colts mascot?
It all started in a small log barn in Southern Indiana where BLUE was born in a town called Jockey. He grew up on a large farm and was groomed by his owners to be a race horse. He never took to racing like the other horses, but lived for each Sunday when he could watch his beloved Colts play football. Early in his training, he realized he was much different from all the other horses. One day he woke up and noticed a blue spot on his fur. He tried to hide his embarrassing spots from the other horses by wearing his saddle all day and night. Each day he woke up, and his spots were growing bigger and bluer, Bigger and Bluer, BIGGER AND BLUER! Eventually he turned completely BLUE. All of the other horses made fun of him, and he just didn't fit in. They wouldn't let him play in any barn yard games. The teasing from the other horses became so nasty that he decided he would run away. He made his way all around Southern Indiana by sleeping in strange barns and eating out of corn fields along the way. One day while making his way down to the creek, he saw in the newspaper that the Indianapolis Colts were having try-outs for the team. Upon reading the news, he became so excited that he galloped all the way to the Colts Training Complex in Indianapolis. When he arrived at the Colts Training Complex, he was asked to fill out an application for employment. When he got to the column asking his name, he realized he didn't have a name! The secretary informed him of the strict NFL rule that all players must have a name to go on the back of their jersey. Because he had no name, he missed the try-outs. Realizing he missed his opportunity to live his dream of playing football for the Colts, his eyes began to well up with huge blue tears. He walked out of the Colts Complex with his snout low and his tail between his legs. Because he was so upset, he wasn't paying attention to where he was walking and accidentally bumped into Colts Owner and CEO, Jim Irsay. After seeing the distraught horse, Jim asked him "why the long face?" After a long and heartfelt explanation of his travels, Jim shook his hoof, and said "kid, how would you like to be the new Colts mascot?" Today, he has a name - BLUE! BLUE is so proud to be a member of the Colts that he wants to make everyone else around him happy and laugh!

Did the colts have a good record after they moved from Baltimore?
Absolutely not, this isn't the OKC Thunder were talking about all the good players the city of Baltimore drafted except a few were either retired or on other teams. When the city of Indianapolis got the Colts they pretty much got the worst team anyone could ask for. That's why they had to win a superbowl with a new owner, coaching staff, front office, and team with the same logo.
When did the Baltimore Colts become the Indianapolis Colts?
The Colts moved from Baltimore, MD to Indianapolis, IN on March 29, 1984. They left Baltimore in the middle of the night, roughly around 2:00 am. A move that not only did not make sense to us, but made Baltimoreans loathe the very existence of one Robert Irsay. The feeling is not, however, reciprocal. The main NFL rivalry for the Colts is the New England Patriots. In January 2007, when the Colts faced the Baltimore Ravens in the AFC Divisional Payoff game, Colts players expressed surprise at the angry reception they received from Baltimore fans. The primary reason that the Irsay relocated to Indianapolis is because the city of Baltimore was engaged in a dispute with the Colts organization over the need for renovation to the team's playing facility, Memorial Stadium. In 1969, the city of Maryland increased the rent over the Colts' stadium, despite the fact that the stadium was antiquated. A city stadium committee was created, which found the facility undersized for the needs of the team and fans, and was on the whole grossly inadequate for the needs of local sports teams and event planners. The situation drove then-owner Rosenbloom to rid himself of the team, selling it to Robert Irsay. Irsay only bought the team partially based on a guarantee from city planners that a new stadium would be built for the Colts and Orioles. On different occasions, the state legislature, governor, and city comptroller blocked any progress on a new stadium. Over the next decade, Colts Irsay received a steady line of offers from Arizona, Memphis, LA, New Orleans, Jacksonville, and Indianapolis to relocate. Irsay refused all of these offers. In 1979, Baltimore broke ground for the long-delayed Owings Mills project. However, in January 1984, after 12 years of fighting over the promised stadium upgrades, Baltimore mayor stated outright, "We're not going to build a new stadium. We do not have the bonding capacity. We dont have the voters or taxpayer who can support a $60 million stadium. One-third of the people in Baltimore pay taxes. Unless private enterprise builds it, we won't build it." At the same time, Indianapolis demonstrated a commitment to supporting a football franchise by starting construction on the Hoosier Dome, despite the fact that the city had no team to house. As tensions rose in Baltimore, the straw that broke the camel's back was when Maryland's legislature passed legislation that would allow the city of Baltimore to take the Colts away from Irsay. Faced with the choice of Indy's proven support to the mere prospect of housing a team, and Baltimore's twelve years of resistance and move to steal his team from him, Irsay left Baltimore.
