ARTnSocal Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 I liked this one much betterThe one with the 'D' logo had the worst shade of blue on the helmet.They wore these in Buffalo in 1994, but in the white away version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroadwayBlueshirt Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 I guess having a trough logo would make sense for a team with a horse identity, but I'm pretty sure they never had one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure it's a little cartoonish, but that's actually what I like about it. It looks great on the helmet, too. The opinions I express are mine, and mine only. If I am to express them, it is not to say you or anyone else is wrong, and certainly not to say that I am right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eriqjaffe Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 Growing up, I always thought that the horse in the "D" logo was rearing back to avoid getting poked by some sort of spear or javelin. I did't realize until much later that it's supposed to be his breath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks dated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd feel better if there were a story out there to reference (I couldn't find any). I'd love for the old "D" logo to come back and replace the choking horse.

Captain Poncho Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 There is absolutely nothing at all on the radar in Denver per the Broncos bringing back the old D logo. The main talk has centered around going orange as the primary uniforms (and I strongly suspect the switch will be made before next season).

oo_nrb Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 There is absolutely nothing at all on the radar in Denver per the Broncos bringing back the old D logo. The main talk has centered around going orange as the primary uniforms (and I strongly suspect the switch will be made before next season).Can't be made before 2011, that deadline already passed. Teams have to have their uni changes in more than a year in advance for production purposes.Given the state of the franchise currently, I feel like a switch back to orange is inevitable now - gotta do something to re-invigorate the fanbase. I wouldn't be surprised if Bowlen's now reconsidering the "D" logo as well. 2011 Colorado Rockies | Season from Hell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sc49erfan15 Posted December 9, 2010 Share Posted December 9, 2010 As for the "Drunk Bronco" logo - does anybody know exactly why the eye is a star? It's not, like, Texas or anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkhaha Posted December 12, 2010 Share Posted December 12, 2010 As for the "Drunk Bronco" logo - does anybody know exactly why the eye is a star? It's not, like, Texas or anything.Although many reference sites list the Broncos as having the same helmet from 1962-65, with the '66 version being different only because of the striping pattern, there were in fact some subtle differences. The "drunken donkey" didn't always have a star for an eye, for instance -- that didn't start until 1965, as far as I can tell. The 1962-64 version just had a dot:It also appears that the '62-64 helmets had a slightly smaller decal...... than the '65 version:In addition to changing the eye to a star, the 1965 helmet was a more reddish-orange color than the earlier model. In '66, they not only changed from a single white stripe to a white-royal-white pattern, they also added a blue outline to the logo and changed the tail a bit: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
