The Song Remains The Same In Baltimore
Sure, the last five years have seen vast improvements with a tangible urban renaissance and the first population increase since the mid-80s. Even with the future looking bright, the past always looked brighter. And there wasn't a more indelible nfl jersey symbol of that past than the Baltimore Colts.
It was the golden age of the city. Our first taste of victory, of making a difference on the national stage, of being more than a rest stop between Philly and D.C. Before the Orioles owned the '70s, the Colts made Baltimore a sports town. Those were the good old days, and they ended when the Irsay family smuggled them out of town in 1984. The move was blocked by the mlb jerseys league, and that block was abandoned under a fear of an ongoing lawsuit by the litigious patriarch of the Irsay regime. So when Cleveland and Houston were promised replacement teams immediately, all Baltimore had was Paul Tagliabue telling us why we should root for the Redskins.
And all that remained was the band. And the song.
It was played every Fourth of July parade across the city, at minor league hockey games and graduations. The reactions were universal: A deep-seeded longing for the good old days. I was 3 when the Colts left. Some would say that I was too young to really be affected in any way by that. But when a parent dies early on, it digs a scar that never really heals. Imagine in 1984 if everyone you knew died a little, if civic pride was just wiped out in one fell swoop. There's a reason the Ravens organization wanted to have their own song at first; they didn't want everyone bawling uncontrollably in the stands after the extra point.
This season, the Colts song is back. The lyrics will be a little weird, kind of like a girlfriend telling you she liked the same movie as one of your exes. It's unclear if it will have a redemptive quality or uncover old wounds. But the truth is that Baltimore's good old days don't have to be over, and a ridiculous song is a reminder that they're not. It shouldn't matter, and nothing in sports should really matter. But it does, and what shouldn't be a big nfl jerseydeal will be.
