Baltimore fans still held animosity toward the Colts at least through 2006 when the Ravens had the one seed and Manning came to Baltimore for the divisional round, but there’s no real hate left there.
For all the complaining the Browns fans do, which I get, they got to keep their colors/history. It’s frankly insulting to many Baltimore people that the Indy team hangs banner for Baltimore Colts achievements. I mentioned this early, but the Ravens have basically coopted the old Colts. There will
be old Colts at the game this Sunday, and they’re inducted in the Ravens Ring of Honor.
May that fate never befall the Chiefs.

Baltimore & Houston both got screwed. Both of them should have been able to keep the name, colors, and history of the Colts & Oilers. Tennessee even rubbed it in the faces of everyone this year by wearing the Oiler throwback uniforms in a game against the Texans. Bud Adams was a d-bag and his children are not much better IMHO.
