TFoA Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 Great news. The Broncos just look right in orange jerseys. I guess since orange is now the primary color, they could come up with a set of orange pants? Not like it's unprecedented in team history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chawls Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 So are they keeping their current template or getting new unis? Quote If you hadn't noticed, Chawls loves his wrestling, whether it be real life or sim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DelayedPenalty Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 I'm not a Broncos fan, nor am I close follower of their traditions and history, but, the Broncos had their greatest successes (Super Bowls XXXII and XXXIII) with navy blue as their primary. I'm all for nostalgia, but I think the importance of 2 Super Bowls would have a higher standing than other years.Personally I prefer the navy blue, with the orange alternate now and then give a nod to their history.

They have next to no orange in them now and it's a very boring look.Personally, I'd change the side stripes on the white jerseys to orange and marry that with navy pants for the road.But the league almost never asks me what I think.Weird.

It should be about what looks best and creates the strongest identity. So this is the right move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
habsfan1 Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 So are they keeping their current template or getting new unis?No new unis. Just using the orange alt as the home jersey...The team will not change the current design ? the orange jerseys you saw the Broncos wear in the home opener against the Raiders will be the same design in 2012.

I think wearing the orange version of the current look is the perfect balance. You can look at it side-by-side with any era of Broncos football (sans the vertical stripe sock era) and it looks like the same team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm very happy that their switching to orange as their primary uniform color for home games, but on the other hand, I was hoping for new uniforms altogether.

nuordr Posted October 3, 2011 Share Posted October 3, 2011 I hope they are keeping their current template. I love their uniforms now and when they were first introduced in 97. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbannon92 Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 I'll be interested to see how they pull off those side panels on the Speed Machine template...not sure how well that's gonna work.

Zachary15 Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 Never a fan of the Broncos template. Too much going on, but switching to orange is a plus in my eyes. CHIEFS - BLUE JACKETS - CARDINALS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeFrank Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 Definitely think this is a step in the right direction. They need to get a set of orange pants, or at least change the white jersey to have orange accents, eliminating blue accent pants. Without leaving their current "template", they should haveOrange (with blue), White (with orange), and Blue (with orange) jerseys,Orange (with blue) and White (with orange) pants. I guess you could leave in the blue pants. concepts: washington football (2017) ... nfl (2013) ... yikes potd 10/20/12 origin story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ARTnSocal Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 >>>>I had heard that Denver wanted to do it this year, but the NFL said no because they gave notice too late, whatever the rules are for that if anyone knows?They do look like the Broncos in orange, but the logo and color change in the 90s was a great move. Better logo, and that shade of puke-blue they used on their prior helmet was gawd-awful.Their '66 throwback they wore for NFL-75 in '94 was cool.... I saw 'em play in them, but the away set.That would make a good throwback if they chose to shelve the navy blue as alternate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 Heck, I think they should use that as the basis for a new primary uniform. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love how the orange pants look with the white top and the blue helmet. I wouldn't mind Denver trying out a blue-white-orange combo at all. The opinions I express are mine, and mine only. If I am to express them, it is not to say you or anyone else is wrong, and certainly not to say that I am right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
