they were both night games and snowy. maybe playing in the daytime will help the record

Come on now, we can’t be that superstitious, if you really believe that the jersey predicts the outcome, then you are going to have a long year. I love orange, I think we need to go back and show our tradition, everyone wants to look the same, the orange jerseys stand out and it’s fun to have a stadium filled with orange, come on we were the “orange crush” defense, embrace the colors and traditions, I know everyone was scared when we changed to the current uniforms and look how that turned out, another change isn’t a bad thing and if it blends tradition with a new look, then I am for it. As long as the vertical stripped socks and the picture of a mule have convulsions stays in the closet.

I love the orange unis…

It’s night time games that were the problem…not the unis.

Bring on the ORANGE CRUSH!!!!

for one or 2 games max a season. I almost bought the alternate orange jersey in 2003,(Portis) but then a few weeks after I decided not to (there was nothing my size) Denver traded CP for Champ. Man, I would have been mad if I did buy it and the guy I had was traded

Dude…Elway is rocking the orange uni in your picture. How can you not love them?

The “new and improved” striped unis are allright, but they can never replace the old orange ones. They were so ugly they were cool. Remember the one year they wore the orange pants with the white unis? Hideous!

This statement confuses me, though: “Not surprisingly, the all- orange look drew a scornful eye from Broncos coach Mike Shanahan” Does that mean we will wear orange pants with the orange unis?

I wish we would only see the blue 1 or 2 times a season if at all … and that Orange would be the official jersey.

Please be Nov 23rd – Home game in Denver against the raiders. It will be the only game I can travel to mecca for.

I still have my orange Elway jersey…its been well worn and I intend on wearing it on September 8th when I am in oakland for the MNF game. :)

Its time to move on. I was never a big fan of the orange. Sure it was synomonous with the Broncos but it was also linked to losing SB’s. Face it these uni’s are far better sellers and like it or not thats what is gonna keep them as the Broncos jerseys for a long time

I’m not superstitous at all. However, if I had a player (or players) that were, I didn’t interfere. There is a psychological component to superstition, and if it works for a guy, then it works for the team.

I also believe that the bean counters should have a voice. After all, the Broncos ARE a business. They need to make money or all the winning in the world matters little.

On the other hand, there is an argument to be made for the following (and I’m not sure how much I buy into this). If a team is focused on either blue (home) or white (away), and in a split second several times a game a guy has to make a decision (say, throwing a ball or hitting an opponent in a crowd), perhaps the change in color might have a bad effect. I honestly don’t know about this, but it’s a though. The counter argument (just as decent) is that maybe if the players like it, it might pump them up a little. Again, I don’t know what the players think (if they didn’t like it, it would be bad for sales, so they probably couldn’t speak up).

If the decision is made by the front office AND meets the head coach’s approval, I’m for it. I kind of doubt that Bowlen would let it happen if Shanny didn’t like it. Again, I don’t know what goes into the decision. I don’t even know if the League pushes this, or if it is a team thing with the League’s approval. If it is a League thing, every team would have the same advantage/disadvantage though.

It’s not a major issue to me. I love the new helmets (never like the old ones), and I even like the new uniforms (the first two years brought us SB victories, so I have a positive association with the uniforms even if I don’t buy into superstition). But I also like the orange shirts for “special” games a couple of times too. Heck, I even like the helmets if we do a retro uniform game like they did Thanksgiving once or twice.

We don’t go 0-16 with the orange jerseys. Or 0-32 over the next 2 years. Or 0-48 over the next 3 years etc…

I cannot write anything that has not already been mentioned.

Being an old-timer however, I will probably get tears ‘of joy’ in my eyes when I see ‘The Orange’ again.

I don’t know how old or young you guys are….."Orange Crush’ started the mania and sucked me into this permanent state of hard-core Bronco fanatic.

I love the ‘Orange’ and would like to see it 3 to eight home games a year.

Hmmm…………………….. Getting tears ‘of joy’ just thinking about it.
