The Indianapolis Colts made some small changes to their uniform, and a former local high school vice principal is accusing them of stealing their new logo. In the new logo, the state of Indiana is outlined in the “C.”

Jere Kubuske, a former vice principal at Indianapolis’ Cathedral High School, said this was stolen from a logo he created when he was at the school.

The “C”s do look very similar, and Kubuske might have a case, but Colts team spokesman Steve Campbell said the NFL was the one responsible for designing the logo.

“We have great respect for our friends at Cathedral, and we would never purposefully take an idea from them to as our own,” Campbell said. “That’s just not how the Colts do business. The new Colts Indiana logo was an independent creation that was designed by the NFL, as are most team marks and logos, and was not designed locally. The Colts and the league were unaware of the other logo, and we wouldn’t have moved forward otherwise. But we will look into the matter.

“Nonetheless, both the Colts and coach Kubuske had the same goals at heart — promoting athletics and paying tribute to our home state.”

Colts tight end Jack Doyle did play at Cathedral High School, which could give some indication that Indy was at least aware of the logo.

If Kubuske does really feel strongly that they were copied, the next step could be a lawsuit to try and get it so they can't use the logo.
