  1. Does this count? Because it always looked strange to me.

    A Hall-of-Famer who played his entire career with one team, led them to back-to-back championships, and is the greatest player in team history? Yes, it absolutely counts.

    The point isn't the team, obviously. The point is that his correct uniform is this one:

    Still doesn't make it his wrong uniform
    But it does.
    This argument just shows how badly this thread has degenerated from its original point.
    When the majority of people think of John Elway, they picture him in the old uniforms. Ergo, those are the "right" uniforms. Now, follow along with me: another uniform, since it wouldn't be "right", would be "wrong". Sure, it may not have the "Holy crap!" factor of, say, Bobby Orr as a Black Hawk (was that before it after the name change?) because he had some hilight moments in them, but it's not his primary uniform. Comprondez-vous?
    A person can have more than one right uniform, and that is the case here. He led that team to back to back championships and that is what a lot of people remember him in.

    I don't follow the NFL too closely, so you know what, if many people actually do associate Elway with those uniforms, then I rescind my comment. That said, my point still stands about how the "right team/wrong uniform" scenario can still exist (which one poster seemed to refute).

    I'd say they'd both be his right uniform. The earlier set symbolizes his early career, his triumphs and failures and what not. Then, the Nike set symbolizes the pinnacle of his career, essentially. He finally wins two titles and retires on top.
