The Indianapolis Colts, likely trying to distract their fans that Andrew Luck is yet again coming into a season injured, debuted a new team hashtag Tuesday, and saying it fell flat is an understatement.
The team decided on ‘#ColtsForged’, leaving fans everywhere wondering what the hell it even means.

#ColtsForged is to hashtags as “AFC Championship Game Participant” is to banners. https://t.co/sCLoCwVKB1
