The current Broncos' template has stood the test of time. They were first to use that modern style of uni and looks like they're pretty much the last. No need to tweak it either. Could you imagine how awkward their current set would look with block numbers? Ehhh... Again, if the uniform carries a definite winning tradition, you're not going to see very much change over the years. How many teams have undergone a massive overhaul after winning 3 Super Bowls in the basically-the-same uni? Packers, Steelers, Cowboys, Raiders, 49ers, Redskins, Patriots... Nope. Not one of 'em. EDIT: For a hot minute, the 49ers tried that half-assed burgundy/BFBS tweak before crawling back to the classics. They learned. Actually, that "hot minute" lasted about 10 years, but I agree with you that the 9ers needed to get back to the classics. As a matter of fact, that is exactly what I'm advocating for the Broncos. Glad you finally see it my way. http://dstewartpaint.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just a better uniform. There was never enough blue in the rest of that uniform to balance out the blue helmet. Reverse the orange and blue on the socks, and match the stripes to the helmet and that would've looked really good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a "football look". It's a classic football template with a block font, sleeve stripes and pants stripes. It could have been created in the '70s, '80s, ;'90s or the '40s. Meanwhile, the only time the current set would have ever been created in is the '90s. You might say the same thing about other sets. The Panthers look great, for instance, but people could argue their set is "dated" because it has '90s colors and influence. The difference is (other than the Panthers looking loads better than the Broncos in general), that the Panthers were born in the '90s. It makes sense for them to look like a '90s team because they were made then. The Broncos, on the other hand, look like a '90s team because that's when ownership bought into Nike's sales pitch and blamed their past super bowl failures on their classic jerseys.

Germanshepherd Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 Honestly, both of those looks are inferior to this. Slap the current logo on the helmet and call it good. i have unquantifiable corpses on my conscience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhlyBoy Posted February 19, 2016 Share Posted February 19, 2016 This playoff run I came to realize the Broncos' current logo is amazing. It really is one of the best in the league. Hope they never go away from it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the existing helmet logo is the better logo, but the "D" is better on a helmet. I prefer the unique font, and don't even really mind the swoosh-pant-stripe. I think the old "hoop" jersey looks the best, but I don't think it would make their best uniform (because to me the royal helmet is untouchable). When I look at different concepts, I think what makes that royal helmet look so good is the contrast with the solid orange jersey. Maybe it makes sense that this (Buffalo) is another of my favorite looks from yesteryear: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WavePunter Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 The blue sleeved orange jersey is my favorite Broncos jersey of all time, but the current helmet is the best imo.. I think a combination of eras that included these two elements would be a good look Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's too much orange in the modern logo to really work on an orange helmet. The mane would get completely lost. The blue helmet is needed for contrast for a logo that is white and orange.

mbannon92 Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 Not a fan of an orange helmet for the Broncos. A little too much orange for my liking. I would like so see some version of the blue-sleeved jerseys come back, though. With a blue helmet it could look really sharp, IMO.

hawk36 Posted February 23, 2016 Share Posted February 23, 2016 With now 3 Super Bowl wins in the current set I don't see them changing anything drastically. That being said, simply removing the side panels from the jersey would be a huge improvement.
