illini1 Posted December 28, 2010 Share Posted December 28, 2010 I hope they go with orange jerseys and switch back to royal blue. Instead of a navy alternate, I wish they'd use the AFL 50th Anniversary uniforms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tBBP Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 Bump the royal...how 'bout a nice pastel blue?(Or they could shock us all, completely flip the script...and come out in sepia and saffron. But we all know that ain't happenin'...) *Disclaimer: I am not an authoritative expert on stuff...I just do a lot of reading and research and keep in close connect with a bunch of people who are authoritative experts on stuff. || dribbble || Behance || Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fkaKrock5cent Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 I want to stress how against royal blue I am for Denver. It makes the color scheme too bright with orange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TruColor Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 OK...here are the Blues: The Broncos used navy before 1997?Ooops....yeah, that's a typo. Should read 1997-2001. Sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gothamite Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 Fatheads provide great photos to get a clear picture of the uniforms:In that exact order, best to worst IMO.And in my HO, I'd say that order runs worst to best.

Nomad Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 My main problem with the Orange Crush era unis is that there was hardly any orange in the road set. Blue helmet, white jerseys with blue numerals, and white pants. Orange was only a trim color. I know the Broncos wore orange pants on the road at times in the 60s and early 70s, but they never wore them during the Elway years. If Denver is going to emphasize orange again, they need to be more consistent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Denver is going to emphasize orange again, they need to be more consistent.I agree with this and it's one of the main reasons I don't want Denver to simply switch to the current orange alts as the home uniforms. At home they'd be primarily orange, but on the road become a primarily navy team. Also why I hate the Giants' away uniforms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

njmeadowlanders Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 Brown & Atlhetic gold would be fantastic to see in the NFL. That being said, Denver would never do it (I know they originally did).Also, I prefer the older orange crush helmet/unis, but taking the current set only, the Orange > Navy.

oldschoolvikings Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 My only issue with their old uniforms (as in pre-1997) is that they are so ordinary. Nothing about that uniform, other than orange being a primary color, makes that uniform any different from all the other traditional sets.Orange is a primary? http://dstewartpaint.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chawls Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 So like I was saying...sepia and saffron???White numbers on a yellow jersey? Very Division II-esque.

robbman21 Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 Trimmed in sepia though...so it works. I think it looks really good personally...good job Buc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jinjoe Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 So I guess I'm the only one that thinks that they should stick with the blue jersey as their primary, that's cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkhaha Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 Personally, I think the Red-Orange (Burnt Orange) from the 1965 through 1976 seasons would be a nice color to utilize moving forward. It would be unique in the league, and would also be a nod to the past.I totally agree! And pair it with a very deep royal blue, which looks fantastic:At the risk of living in the past, I have to say that this was the greatest Bronco set ever. The sleeve inserts are bold and unique, the sans-serif numbers stood out (at the time) from the endless parade of standard block fonts, and there was a wonderful balance between the colors (love how the royal blue sleeve inserts match the socks on the home set and the red-orange sleeve inserts match the helmet on the road set). I think the main objection to this set is the cartoonish logo, but I always kind of liked it. This set was vastly superior to what followed...Even as a major Bronco fan my entire life, the next generation of unis always left me cold. I didn't like the royal helmet with the orange jersey, and I never liked the original striping patterns on the home jerseys OR the pants (this was alleviated somewhat when they went to blue-orange-blue on the pants in the mid-80s), although I found the road set with orange pants much more tolerable. And though many folks find it iconic, I never liked the "D" logo that much, as it was very hard to tell what was inside the D until you saw it very close up. The plain royal socks were always the best choice for this design, but in the early 70s the Broncos started experimenting with a number of different striping patterns which mucked things up. They eventually went to orange socks with stripes to match those on the sleeves, but when they changed the sleeve stripes to a simpler pattern in the 90s, they kept the old pattern on the socks, which just looked stupid, IMHO.I admit to having mixed feelings about the current set. When they first came out I thought they were bold and exciting, but I never liked the "swoosh" treatment. Like most fans, I associate them with the two Super Bowl victories, but the Josh McDaniels period just about killed that memory (my theory is that he is actually a double-agent still in the employ of the Patriots and sent to set the Broncs back five years). Anwyay, this design could easily be "de-Nikefied" by turning all the swooshes into thick, regular stripes. Of course, now that Nike has the contract again, there is no incentive to de-Nikefy. To sum up: I'm excited to see that the Broncos will go back to orange jerseys, and I'm curious as to if it will be major overhaul or not. Please forgive the length of this post, but this is obviously my favorite topic! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TalktoChuck Posted December 29, 2010 Share Posted December 29, 2010 I agree that these were the best uniforms the Broncos have had (even with the wierd horse logo). I would fully support new uniforms based on these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
