The 1954 Baltimore Colts season was the second season for the team in the National Football League after moving from Dallas, where the team played as the Texans. The Baltimore Colts finished the National Football League's 1954 season with a record of 3 wins and 9 losses and finished sixth in the Western Conference. This was the first season that the Horseshoes appeared on the helmet. For the first two seasons (1954 & 55), the horseshoes were white and they were located on the back of an all blue helmet. In 1956 the color of the helmet change to White while the Horseshoes became blue. It wasn't until 1957 when the Colts received their most famous helmet design that's still in use to this day, a white helmet with a blue stripe down the middle and a blue horseshoe on either side.
