gothedistance Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 Denver Broncos' new uniforms are all over the place. I don't know what the navy helmet is doing with the orange jersey. Or why they insist on the white helmet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldschoolvikings Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 For me, as long as these didn’t turn out to be a complete disaster I was probably going to see them as an update. I’ve been so tired of seeing the last uniform and I can’t pretend I’m not happy just to see it gone. I’d say the jerseys and pants are at least minor upgrades. The triangle nonsense is stupid, the white helmet is pointless, the sock combinations are terrible, and the helmet stripe is laughably ridiculous. But the number font is an improvement and I think I kinda like the sleeves. The Lions did better, the Jets did much better, and I’m guessing the Texans will crap the bed. 11 Quote http://dstewartpaint.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heavybass Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 77 was the first time the Broncos went into the playoffs proper... winning the AFC and then getting curbed by the Cowgirls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even more so, the 1991-96 uniforms did NOT look like that, and the stripes on the socks changed in the 80's. Not to mention, the helmet logo is from 1991-96, not 1968-90. 2 Quote FDCO Fonts NFL Re-Design Project Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, actually the pants stripe, socks, and sleeve stripe spacing mark these as an earlier version than the 80s/90s uniforms. 4 Quote http://dstewartpaint.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damnyoutuesday Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 I... really don't mind these new Broncos uniforms?? Definitely an upgrade from the previous set that had overstayed its welcome. They should've just gone with a modernized version of their throwback, but overall this set isn't bad. A few minor tweaks and this set is pretty darn good 4 Quote Sorry, I'm on an iPad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked on GUD and you are correct. So yes, 1977. I guess with the Seahawks 1983-2001 throwbacks, they are aiming at the 1992 versions. @ruttep I do not think the Broncos jerseys and helmet is bad. The problem is the stripe in the back of the helmet and then the pants stripes need to lose the 5280 stuff. But nothing to bad. I am just worried about the Texans look.

TenaciousG Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 The Broncos actually have a pretty good thing going here. Modern but not over the top. Most of the dumb elements like the random triangles are too small to make a difference in the overall look. What I don’t like is between the triangles and the shoulder stripes there is a lot of anti-counterfeiting elements in place. Which would be fine if Fanatics didn’t make cheap crap but charge full price, meaning you really have to pay top dollar for a good jersey AND the replicas are such crap they aren’t even worth it anymore. I wonder if they’ll just start dropping/half-assing even more elements on the replicas. 5 1 Quote My teamsNCAA: Washington StateMLB: Seattle MarinersNFL: Seattle SeahawksNBA: Portland TrailblazersEPL: Liverpool FCMLS: Seattle Sounders FCNHL: Pittsburgh Penguins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCarp1231 Posted April 22 Share Posted April 22 As of now- 1. Jets 2. Lions 3. Broncos It’s pretty close between Detroit and Denver. Both have odd design choices and combinations. Jets are the only ones with a nice cohesive set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which all match the pants color. Eww. But my main problem is that they decided to keep the same colors. I cannot understate how much more I'd like these jerseys if they were in the royal blue and deeper orange of the throwbacks. That navy and flat shade of orange just don't do it for me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Such a miss on so many levels. Not every team needs to look exactly the same as they did 50 years ago at all times. Especially for a team like the Broncos whose greatest success has come in modern uniforms. 16 1 1 1 Quote POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is my biggest problem. They should have went away from navy blue and go with the academy blue look. But I guess they never wanted to make it a default which bothers me. The sock combo, we need orange and blue. The white leggings did make the presentation looks pretty bad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
