New Ravens Fight Song- Yay Or Nay?

Yesterday, The Ravens unveiled the "new" fight song, which was the original Baltimore Colts fight song. The changed the words around in order to incorporate the new generation of Baltimore fans.

 

I was only 4 1/2 years old when the Colts left in the middle of the night and headed to Indianapolis (I'm telling my age, aren't I? LOL). So I can admit, I'm not as attached to the fight song as my father and uncle may be. They were HUGE Colts fans growing up and cherish the fight song. I listened to it, and at first, really didn't have an opinion on whether I actually liked it or not. But I do feel a sense of pride in hearing a song that is beloved by so many others in the generations before me. I'm glad the Ravens have decided to make the decision to change it.

I thought it was cool that former Colts Band Director John Ziemann explained how the fight song came to be (it has been used by 6 professional football teams in the State of MD, including the USFL Baltimore Stars and the CFL Baltimore Stallions).

Underneath the post on the Baltimore Sun's website, is a comment from a reader/listener that stuck out to me.

Somewhere up above Johnny Unitas & Chuck Thompson are smiling about this news, and enjoying a cold one !

I couldn't have said it better. The Ravens won with this one. So I give it a Yay.... Thank you Ravens, for bridging the gap between old Colts faithful and new found Ravens fans.
