These are BEAUTIFUL. We FINALLY have some color in our road uniforms. I'd love for this to be the standard set, but I'm pretty sure the Broncos will do uniform roulette for the entire year, thus keeping anything from being the "standard."

My most profuse apologies, transplant.

Sorry. Didn't scroll back far enough apparently.

Chicago and San Francisco fans (and I assume former city residents) moving to Colorado and then crapping on "transplants" and the state flag seems pretty ironic. I was noting for my oldest son how at most Avalanche games, whenever a team like Boston, Chicago, NYR/NYI, etc. visit, the crowd of visiting fans is absurdly thick, because natives know we can sell the tickets to the new transplants for a mint and basically pay for the season ticket package in one game. It never goes the other way around, because Colorado people rarely leave for the perpetually grey, crime-infested, bung hole cities out east. In fact, my son is using this to build a portion of his senior thesis, tracing eastern city residential flight by tracking visiting jerseys at western venues. Could be an interesting bit of research.

The hell you did. I would hope most of us here would recognize a spotlight addict vs. a genuine contributor, regardless.

The only time he ever wore them was in the preseason vs. New England in 1997. I also remember him saying at the time that he hated the monochrome outright, but I'm not sure if Nike had to scramble based on his dislike, though that's a thing that definitely could have happened given his importance to the team.

Well, the Broncos absolutely, without exception, fully own orange jerseys in pro football. It was a dumb, 90s-laden trend that pushed them to navy jerseys in the first place, and anyone who has ever been to a Broncos game (and multiple away games), sees that the fans fully embrace the orange jersey. To stray from that again would be brand suicide.

I once had to talk down a major athletic outfitter who had proffered a "patriotic throwback" to wear in international competition that looked almost exactly like the Confederate battle flag. Took me showing them a side-by-side comparison to get them to scrap it, and thankfully, they did right before the eve of production. In an almost opposite example, Cujo here is wildly projecting an imaginary link to something entirely unrelated based solely on his own biases, which is akin to the likes of hating every red baseball hat in existence because red ballcaps belong to you-know-who. Navigating these two extremes (the Imagined Offense one being far more frequent) in sports design is often an enormous obstacle in getting meaningful work done.

This is, unfortunately, spot on.

This is like saying LSU and the Washington Huskies wear the same colors. One is yellow, one is gold, and the visual difference is apparent and obvious.

It's weird that Denver has now had this 3-game history of the league allowing color v color (without consulting the Broncos), which seems to indicate to me that the Broncos can wear orange in almost any road game and get away with it. Theoretically, they could ditch the white jersey altogether and simply go with orange or navy tops. Looks like the same treatment is headed the Titans way when they wear the Oilers throwbacks...

"Athletic Gold"

No "buts" on your very excellent efforts, Clint. I spent my morning rolling through your incredibly thorough and very entertaining breakdown of the upcoming college ball season's uniforms. Thanks so much for toiling away on this stuff - it's appreciated!

The Broncos released their Game Themes, and, on Instagram, the post carousel hints at what the uniform combos will be for the year, with the color backgrounds they use for each home game. https://www.instagram.com/p/CwGN6Lip4LA/?img_index=1 If this is accurate, the Broncos will go navy over white vs. Washington, and all-navy vs. Minnesota, with the already-announced "Whitecapped" color rush unis vs. NYJ and NE.
