The customization is delivered through a small download called a Boom! and is expected to arrive in time for July training camp.

Brand Thunder’s browser Boom! is unlike other browser-based tools with its visual immersion of the browser, in addition to integrated content and functionality. The energy and team spirit is fully captured in the entire browser theme. Links to the team site are included as is breaking news delivered within the Boom!’s toolbar and sidebar. Colts fans will enjoy instant access to team news, photo galleries and videos, plus a whole lot more.

“Each year, the Colts try to add something new that will keep us ahead in the NFL,” said Tom Zupancic, Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing of the Indianapolis Colts. “This browser Boom! From Brand Thunder gives Colts fans something unique and powerful that we are excited to offer to our fans.”
