larrypep Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 would you put brown, gold and red together in a single uniform? I wouldn't. Worked for these guys.Even better - the Hawaiians of the WFL:What's the deal with that guy's name?Sonny Sixkiller, former U of W QB, he also played one of the prisoners in "The Longest Yard".

Rambulance Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 Hey guys, 1st post on these forums.I found this logo on the broncos forums, and it's a clear version of the logo posted here. I don't know who submits logos or where to do it but if anyone wants to update it that would be sweet.http://img29.imagesh...osinaugural.pngIt has a white stroke.Hmmm. Close, but here's a better version (color-wise):I don't get this logo. It's a terrible fit for a team called the Broncos and much more illustrative of a team named the Cowboys or Wranglers. It's quite similar in concept to the Wyoming logo. For Denver, the team is the Broncos and that would be the horse in the logo, something that seems to have been lost on the designer. The whole "aw shucks, it ain't nothin'" look of the cowboy with his toothpick just makes it worse.I thought that I read somewhere that the Broncos, being a cash strapped start up team in the AFL actually got the original set of jerseys from the University of Wyoming. No idea if that is true or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmoothieX Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 You know I think I heard that somewhere too. No idea if it's true nor it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TalktoChuck Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 I believe they got the uniforms from a local high school in Colorado, not the University of Wyoming. But I could be wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 I believe the most common story is that they bought the uniforms from a defunct local all-star game. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darkhaha Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 The original Broncos uniforms were bought from an entity known as the Copper Bowl in Tucson, AZ. Here's a great explanation from longtime Broncos PR guy Jim Saccomano:The first Broncos unis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sport Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 Here it is....The real reason Brandon Marshall didn't want to play for the Broncos this season. Even if they had kept brown and yellow as their colors there's no way those socks would've lasted more than a few years. I must admit I'm a little disappointed. I thought there would more stripes on the socks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 Other than the socks, which are fun in a sort of OMFG way, I flat-out love this set. Give them gold socks, and I'd love to see a team wear this uniform. The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database! Now in a handy blog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JQK Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 I don't know why they just didn't go with the mentally retarded donkey set they wore for the NFL's 75th. Those sets were damn pretty.These are... not good. Never were. When the team that originally wore these BURNED the set, maybe you shouldn't bring that look back...

Bmac Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 They are ok, except for the socks. I don't like the vertical striped socks. The jersey and pants, and even helmet for that matter, are fine, as long as they don't wear them too often. https://www.behance.net/bmatukewic8043 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
In 5..4..3..2..1 Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 I hate to admit this but I actually like this over the all Blue,Blue over White those combos suck. I like the Orange over White the best and don't mind the all White but if I had the choice I'd rather see the Yellow and Brown than the all Blue and Blue over White. One thing I would like to see with the current set which we have'nt yet is a set of Orange road pants like they wore in the 70's just put a Blue swoosh on them. Another thing I like despite being a traditionalist is the vertical striped socks because they are so different if that makes any sense Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
illini1 Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 One thing I would like to see with the current set which we have'nt yet is a set of Orange road pants like they wore in the 70's just put a Blue swoosh on them. I've always wanted to see that too. Or they could make the side stripe on the white jerseys orange and pair it with the blue pants. I've always hated the all white look.
