TheSoundofThrowingPennies Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 For a while now, I have thought the Broncos look was pretty dated. Yet, for all the concepts I had, I could not put together something that trumped their current design. Until last night. I believe I have finally found the perfect balance of retro and modern for this football team. The home uniform is below, and the away and action shots will be up shortly. Enjoy.Quick tidbits: The new orange is the primary color, but I went back to royal blue for the secondary. For the first time in their history, the Broncos would be wearing white helmets in this concept. I went with a gray facemask because a white one would be too much white. The logo is back to the old school D and has been engorged to represent the pride Denver has in it's Broncos. I borrowed the Vikings shoulder stripes without the flair because I thought it looked best of all the other designs I tried. The pants feature a more modern looking stripe with the mane of the horse from the current (but for this concept, past) logo.Feedback welcome.

vicfurth Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 I get the idea, but the concept here seems really random and mish-mashed together.I think you would be better-serviced picking one theme and going with it, rather than this. It's a tad messy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSoundofThrowingPennies Posted April 30, 2013 Author Share Posted April 30, 2013 Ok, updated the pants, the mane is now gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brave-Bird 08 Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 You think they look dated, yet you went with an old logo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSoundofThrowingPennies Posted April 30, 2013 Author Share Posted April 30, 2013 You think they look dated, yet you went with an old logo?The D is timeless. Robo Bronco looks like he came screaming out of the nineties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brave-Bird 08 Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Yes, but it would be nicer if the D was also updated to look more modern. The stencil, illustration style doesn't go well with the uniform. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vicfurth Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 I've preached concept presentation since Day 1. To further illustrate my point, I tried to clean up your concept a bit. Keep in mind, I did everything you did:Now we can get about the business of critique. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucas718 Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 I'm not feeling the white helmet. I bet it would look sick if you made it blue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRamage Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 I love... as you said, a great blend of retro and modern. Brings back some of the feel of the old AFL style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8BW14 Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 I don't like the D on the helmet. I think it just looks weird when its on the left side. If you turned the horse around so it wasn't also facing backwards that might work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NDFreek Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 If you're trying to modernize, don't go with a retro logo.Make your own updated version of it, sketch it. You can do wonders with a pen and paper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Biff from the Future Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Orange helmet would look better with simple pant stripes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jigokusabre Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 That giant "D" is terrible. Even putting aside the dated look of the 70s/80s logo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spy41 Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 I like that design a futuristic design with that logo would look AWESOME! I may be the only one but out of the NFL the Broncos have one of the best uniforms it was ahead of its time and looked awesome and still does. The uniform could use an upgrade like the Jaguars but not like the Dolphins or Vikings these two are lame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradsbeard Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 That modernized bronco concept is part fat naked guy rennaisance sculpture, part lazer-breathing horse. A beauty! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
