Dumb marketing speak, yes, but it also makes a degree of sense. I see it simply as a natural albeit immensely annoying expansion off of the recent "icy white" trend in the uniform advertising world. I'd expect to see this helmet on display quite a bit during this and future winter seasons, and I think it will likely be the basis for a more targeted snow-themed alternate when the Broncos eventually introduce new uniforms. (something along the lines of the Colts' "Indiana Nights" monstrosity, but hopefully less inclined to make me coat my eyes with bleach) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can even bring back the Oilers and get mediocre uniforms that somehow avoid everything this forum hates yet still looks not great! They also have a red primary jersey and needlessly changed the helmet to have a blue facemask instead. Funny. I think it would be funny if the Titans made them intentionally design these uniforms to be as ugly as possible so as to instinctively turn people off to a Oilers-style rebrand in Houston. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're taking one thing in Denver known for being white at the top (snowcapped mountains) and using the same terminology for a uniform that will also only be white at the top. That does make sense. fouhy12's NFL Concepts 2020 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carolingian Steamroller Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 Sometimes it seems people more upset about social media and press releases than the actual stuff on the field. This year seems no exception. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SportsFan12 Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 What bothers me about calling them "snowcapped" helmets is that it would imply that only the top of them is white. If you want to call the full uniform snowcapped, that at least makes some amount of sense, granted it's still stupid, cringeworthy, and gimmicky like all these other fake color names, but whatever gets the fire emojis flooding the comments sections I guess? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are probably last years cause they are in pristine shape still and will get worn the same amount this year. Plus isn’t the color green Nikes kryptonite? Nike has many, many kryptonites: the color green; reflective pant fabrics; socks that are a different color from the pants; and, most notably, good taste. 4 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brave-Bird 08 Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 That helmet really is beautiful, not going to lie. The fact the horse is white and the color orientation between the logo and helmet stripe are agreeable, it's nice. Just would prefer the Broncos to look like the old Broncos, but this is not the worst of the alternates -- not close, in my opinion. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just want a classy set to go with it. I think it would be a fantastic starting place for a uniform redesign for the broncos. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GhostOfNormMacdonald Posted August 15, 2023 Share Posted August 15, 2023 Honestly, if the broncos wanted to use that helmet after a rebrand and fill the white-orange-white gap In the uniform landscape that's been missing since the bucs dropped Bruce, I'd be completely fine with it 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
