When the NFL Colts were formed in Baltimore in 1953, they took the name of an earlier, defunct team that had played in the All-American Football Conference (AAFC) in 1947-49. That team's name came from a naming contest.
His full name is Jeff Saturday.
A fan contest produced the Colts name reflecting the great tradition and proud history of horse breeding and racing in the Baltimore region. The original Colts disbanded after the 1950 season but the name was retained when a new Baltimore franchise began play in 1953.
