Mayor declares ‘Blue Friday’ to get city fired up for Colts’ home opener
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’ home opener this Sunday against the Houston Texans.
“The Colts have the best players, coaches and fans in the NFL, and we are fortunate to have the team in our city and giving to our community,” Mayor Peterson said. “Now we must make sure they feel our support everywhere they go as they take care of business 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.
