Cotls Wraped Up Fan Fest Tour With Final Stop in Indianapolis

Among the fans in line to meet Marlin Jackson and Eric Foster was Stefan Carlin, 20, of Indianapolis. Stefan came out to Friday's Fan Fest to support his team in person before he leaves for an overseas tour for the Army in August. Stefan and his family have been Colts season ticket holders for years, and he says he will miss not attending the games this season.

"I've been a fan of the Colts for years, and I'm really going to miss not being able to watch a single game this season," said Stefan.

Even though Stefan will be overseas for the season, he did not pass up the opportunity to show his Colts spirit at Friday's Fan Fest. Dressed from head to toe in Colts gear, Stefan managed to stand out amid a sea of fans clad in blue. His outfit included flannel Colts pants and a vest, which, surprisingly, Stefan says kept him cool in the heat. Also included in his outfit was a pair of Colts boxer shorts worn over his pants, a Colts t-shirt underneath his flannel Colts vest, a Colts hat, and, to top off the ensemble, a Colts flag worn as a cape.

"I wear this outfit to every game and event I attend," said Stefan. "I dress up to show how much I love the Colts. These are like everyday clothes to me."

Stefan was one of several fans dressed to the extreme in Colts gear at Friday's Fan Fest. These fans love to come out and show their support for their favorite team in the most outrageous way they can.

The Indianapolis Colts will be in Greentown on Monday, July 13th, for a Make It Personal stop.
