Denver lost 'wearing orange' to some all-time teams: - Lost XII to Tom Landry's Dallas near-dynasty - Lost XXII to Joe Gibbs's Washington dynasty - Lost XXIV to Joe Montana's San Francisco dynasty - Lost XLVIII to Seattle, should have won back-to-back SBs I mean, there's a reason WHY the Denver Broncos chose to wear WHITE jerseys as the designated HOME team in Super Bowl 50:The Orange Crush Curse: Why the Broncos Chose to Wear White in Super Bowl 50 | NFL - YouTube 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GhostOfNormMacdonald Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 I think a lot of it has to do with psychology. Sports curses don't exist, but the idea of them really starts messing with the "cursed" team. Like how Vikings kickers consistently choke in big situations. Football is a very mental game so any supposed curse goes a long way for performance 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This proves my point: the Broncos chose to wear white in Super Bowl 50 because they knew that their win-loss record in the Super Bowl in orange prior to SB 50 was & still is 0-4. Yes, I'm aware that the Broncos lost in orange to 3 dynasties (the 1977 Dallas Cowboys, the 1987 Washington (Washington Football Team) & 1989 San Francisco 49ers), but they also WON Super Bowl XXXII in NAVY BLUE against the Green Bay Packers, who won Super Bowl XXXI the year before. That's why I'm a firm believer that the Broncos should switch back to NAVY BLUE as their primary home jersey color. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never said that, but I get your point. It honestly did not matter what jersey color the Denver Broncos wore in Super Bowl XXIV against the San Francisco 49ers; they weren't going to win that day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would support this uniform concept should the Denver Broncos choose to go for a more traditional uniform look, except for the orange pants. I'm not a fan of orange pants. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they should just use their current color rush as a template and update it with white pants and navy socks and an all navy blue version. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chromatic Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 Haven't the white team won the vast majority of super bowls in recent years? I also think the 'wearing orange' curse is overblown and I'd hate to see Denver drop something that makes them unique over something so paltry.

The Bengals can always adopt orange as the primary jerseys. We know they’ll never make the Super Bowl, so it’s totally cool!
