Colts to sell 'Anvil Strike' Rivalries collection starting Sept. 1; uniform set to debut Sept. 27 vs. Houston
On Aug. 31, 2026 the Indianapolis Colts announced the NFL x Nike 'Anvil Strike' Rivalries apparel and gear will be available at shop.Colts.com and the Colts Pro Shop beginning Sept. 1, 2026, and the uniform is scheduled to make its on-field debut Sept. 27, 2026 vs. Houston at Lucas Oil Stadium.
The Colts said on Aug. 31, 2026 that fans could shop the NFL x Nike Rivalries Collection — including apparel, headwear, collectibles and on-field–inspired gear — at shop.Colts.com and the Colts Pro Shop at Lucas Oil Stadium starting Sept. 1, 2026. The launch is part of the league-wide NFL x Nike Rivalries initiative, which the club says was introduced in 2025 to celebrate divisional rivalries and team traditions.
The team described the 'Anvil Strike' look as featuring a high-shine metallic blue helmet, a dark anthracite 'Anvil Steel' jersey, updated shoulder‑pad stripes and grommets, reflective accents, a silver horseshoe integrated into the jersey for the first time, classic numbers, the team's rallying line inside the collar and an INDY wordmark on the helmet. The announcement said the uniform will be worn for one divisional game each season through 2028 and that it is scheduled to debut when the Colts host AFC South rival Houston on 2026-09-27; single-game tickets were listed as still available at Colts.com/Tickets and Ticketmaster.com.
