A Louisiana high school student says he was sent home for wearing a Colts jersey Friday — the day the principal encouraged students to wear Saints black and gold. “If they tell other students to support their team, why can’t I support mine?” Brandon Frost said. The senior at Maurepas High School moved three years ago from Indianapolis to the rural town 30 miles from Baton Rouge. School board member Keith Martin said the school uniform had been relaxed only for black and gold. “Louisiana would be proud of him anyway,” Larry Frost said of his son. “He wore Joseph Addai’s jersey.” The Colts running back is a graduate of LSU.
