Mayor declares ‘Blue Friday’ to get city fired up for Colts’ final three games
INDIANAPOLIS - Mayor Bart Peterson will declare this coming Friday as "Blue Friday" and encouraged all of Indianapolis to wear Indianapolis Colts colors, T-shirts and jerseys in honor of the Colts’ Sunday game against the evil San Diego Chargers.
"This is clearly one of the best football teams in history, and we believe this magical season will continue all the way to Detroit," Mayor Peterson said. "Our players and coaches have heard the support of this entire city every week at the Dome, and this weekend will be no different."
"But we must make sure they feel our support everywhere they go as take care of business in the home stretch of this NFL season."
On "Blue Friday," the Mayor is encouraging Indianapolis residents and employees to:
• Wear Colts colors on Friday and throughout the weekend. City employees will be allowed to dress casually Friday to wear Colts colors;
• Fly Colts flags and banners in their homes and offices; and
• Hold Colts parties and get-togethers to watch Sunday’s game with fellow fans.
Local businesses also can get in the spirit by:
• Encouraging employees to wear Colts colors throughout the weekend;
• Hanging Colts posters and banners in storefronts;
• Spelling out "Go Colts" on their outdoor signs; and
• Fly Colts flags and banners.
