Broncos getting new uniforms for 2010?
I LOVE the 1960 throwbacks (this was originally a reply post to Broncotodd's recent fanpost). I love the 80's unis. I even kinda sorta like (hate) the current unis even though...well...
Okay, so I have had a love/hate thing with the current "swoosh" uniforms because they have a VERY short "style shelf life". We’ve had the "new" unis for 12 years and I think that we’re again "out of style". Can I use "quotation marks" any more?
Anyway, what I’m getting at is that the Broncos need a face lift on the style front. In the mid 1990’s there was rumor that a change was coming. I started to see jackets and t-shirts with a navy blue clor instead of the royal blue that we’d seen for so long. We knew that Denver’s color scheme needed updating. We assumed that we’d see a darkening of the colors and a "tougher" logo. I didn’t expect the swooshiness (made up word) that we went with and was FURIOUS at first. We lost our identity and Bowlen tried to BS the fans with the 'predominnantly orange' comment. I still think the unis are a bit silly.
Then we made a Super Bowl run and the new unis became part of our identity. Then colleges and high school started to roll with the swoosh design. "Cool", I thought, they are copying us. Well, all of those teams that switched to the swoosh unis have switched away from them and gone with a more modern design. Now, instead of darker/tougher/more intimidating uni’s, we’re seeing a move towards simpler, cleaner, and more "old-school" looks.
I, for one, think Denver needs to come up with a hybrid of the 60’s, 80’s, and current unis.
Here’s my required list for unis:
1) We must keep the orange and blue (especially an orange predominance) only because Denver’s become known as Orange & Blue. Plus, in another year or two, we can be the second comming of THE ORANGE CRUSH.
2) Get rid of the swooshes.
3) Lets go with a more simplified helmet design. Our current set up looks like 1998 threw up on it. Not only do we have the new logo, but we have 3 orange stripes over the top (are they supposed to be kinda like a horse’s mane?).
4) Lets go with dark pants on the road like we did back in the day – maybe we go with blue though instead of orange? (Coolest Floyd little photo ever)
5) We need more stripes on the socks – just saying, they’re cool!
So…long post..but fun topic…
What do you guys think? Still undecided on may favorite road unis. This is just my ghetto mock up of what I think we should be doing.
SImple home unis, kept the logo, got rid of the helmet stripes, pant stripes, swooshes, and jersey stripes. Added sock stripes (I mean is any other team synonymous with sock stripes, regardless of horizontal or vertical orientation more than the Broncos?). I kept the 1980’s block lettering/numbering although you can’t see it that well. The jersey is a combo of the 1960 throwback and the 80’s color scheme. The pants are boring, which I like. As far as the road unis go, I think the blue pants/white socks look tough and the simple – all orange number without a border color looks cool to me, so I put the same jersey with orange pants on the last one just to see what it looks like. I even went with a gray facemask because I love that the 1960 uni had the gray facemask and in the mid 80's we had grey facemasks too.
We could always go with this too: A real Orange & Blue lover's uni:
For the roadies, I love the darker pants. The first one has the same numbers as in the 80’s and essentially is the same exact concept as the late 1960's/early 1970's roadies (like the Floyd Little photo above) just without sleeve and pants stripes. I kept the pants all stripe free. I think my fave (aside from the home unis) is roadie #3- nah, I like roadie #2 because it's simply more Bronco-ey than the other ones.
What do you think?

I would be content just going with the Orange alternate uniform as our home jersey...
Maybe with the blue pants? I don’t mind the swoosh, just bring back the orange.

I agree that
Our uniforms need a change. The Orange jersey should be the main home jersey, with white and blue pants on the road, and all blue for night games.
Also, a new, smaller helmet logo is better, and we should go with a little lighter shade of blue.

So...
I was hitting up google images to find the old bronco D logo so I could take the broncos alternative logo (fighting horse) and make a cool logo with the fighting horse coming out of the D, when lo and behold I found this image which was created by a fan.

Now a logo like this I can get behind. A little old meets new.
Remember I did not make this and am not claiming ownership.
by DeadDrunk on May 21, 2009 1:32 PM MDT reply actions 1 recs
I like the idea
but I never liked the “fighting horse”. It looks like a horse flopping around. But a “D” around the new logo could be cool!

only I’m with those who think the horse looks contorted. It’s like he suddenly turned on a dime and decided to go the other direction. I like the current horse head. I don’t care for the sneeze. I like the Navy blue “D.” A horse with that head, minus the sneeze, charging forward would be very cool.

Definitely rec'd the reply w/ image, just because - btw
I don’t know how many times i have google image-searched Broncos and have never come across this (I have seen the ‘fighting horse’ solo) – and super7 you did lead me to realize (sooner), it would be kinda nice if Miles/ the horse was standing straight, like the old horse, just bucking, rather than the whole twisted body-deal, aka ‘fighting horse’… Nonetheless the letter around it enhances it and somehow awesome-iffies it – lol… Thanks again. Also HarvJ, I am inclined to keep the snort/sneeze and Orange D, as those elements would compliment the overall look of it on the helmet, don’t ya think?

Its slow
around here this must be the quarterly Denver needs to change their uni’s. All I can say is they are 2-0 in Super Bowls with the current uni’s and 0-4 in the Bowls in the previous ones. Too me thats all that matters.
I know a lot of oyu want some sort of Orange back, I dont. I dont mind the throwback orange once or twice a season, but I find it needless to change. Plus in this day and age of selling jerseys the current ones sell better than the orange ones (outside of Denver)

Its a cool thought
But IMO I cant see Bowlen changing them any time soon. I guess I am tired of all teams always needing to change their uni’s. It is basically about money. In a perfect world Denver would be still in their orange. I would not mind going to an orange jersey but I do like the current helmets better than any of the ones they have had . . . just one fans 2 cents . . .

The swoosh unis now serve to underscore the futility of the Broncos’ seasons since their Super Bowl years. They’re like the former high school star who still wears his letter jacket, while he pumps gas for the doctor he used to beat up.

I dunno, they're kinda boring.
I’d like an orange-dominant color scheme and a more traditional font like you used, but I think you went a little too far into the past. I don’t really like the swooshes because they really limit what you can do with the pants, and I agree that they have to go. But you have to put something in their place to break the monotony of orange canvas. Maybe a shoulder/ sleeve stripe and something on the pants?
I’d like the number scheme to be a little more organic— come to think of it, our whole uni set comes off as mechanical these days— but I’d like to keep some kind of identity. Maybe go with a rounded-off traditional font or something along those lines, like the new Jags uni has.
And the orange MUST be darker. The orange you used just looks like puke to me. Also, the numbers have to be outlined in navy or no one would be able to tell them apart.
There must be something on the pants. I don’t like the color-white-color that 92% of the league uses— it’s too cliche. Maybe we could come up with a stripe that’s unique but still feels organic and not forced on the pants?
LOVE the socks striping. Our new socks are way too bland and when we wear the blue pants it looks like we’re wearing leotards. I like the two-tone effect too.
Not a big fan of your helmet. I like the helmet the way it is except for the gaudy stripe, which could easily be remedied by making it one stripe that narrows as it goes forward instead of three. Also, the gray facemask doesn’t really feel right with the navy helmet.
Overall I like your thinking, and I think it can be expanded upon for a pretty kickass uni set. It needs work, though, and I actually think that it would be a downgrade from what we are currently wearing. I do like the direction though, I just don’t think that all the pieces are there.

Well, history says..
Denver originally wanted to be Texas orange but when they got their first orange uni kit, it was “Tennesee” orange. That’s who we are now and IMO, I don’t think we should change the orange, as it’s the one color we’ve had for the longest. It’s basically the same orange we’ve had since 1963. The blue has changed and I like the dark blue.
I like you r assessments too, obviously a hell of a lot more thought than I gave the above photos would go into a final product, but I like the more simplified look.
In fact, I’d rather be more Cleveland Browns or Green Bay Packers than Jaguars/Pats/Panthers/Cardinals. That’s sort what I was going for.
You’re right on the pants stripe. I just think that all of the teams in the NFL go with some sort of stock striping and unless I can come up w/ someting really cool, I’d rather skip it.
As far as font, I’ve always like the boring block lettering. When we came out w/ the 1997 unis I thought we stole the bears uni, changed the font sliightly, put some swooshes in there, and made the blue color a bit more blue than black.
Denver’s history is where the unis should come from (hypothetically) and Ithink some combo of the past gives the team and fans a sense of history.

I want more orange
Plain and simple. I also don’t buy into the the “superstition” of the orange being bad luck. The Super bowl wins in the current unis, versus the losses in the old has nothing to do with the uniform and everything to do with the quality of the team that was fielded and you will never convince me otherwise. :-)
I grew up on the orange so maybe that has something to do with my preference, I just associate everything Broncos to the color orange, and I wish the unis were back to the predominately orange flavor.

This is great work.
I would never claim to have any fashion sense, but here are my preferances:
The current uniforms need changed badly. I am at the point that I cringe when I see them. I liked them when they came out, but they need updated. Also, this would be a good way to distance us from the Shanahan era. He was really the face of the franchise in the current uniforms. I think that Bowlen might change them after this year. From a business standpoint, I have to think that there is a lot to be gained. There are some good college uniforms that they should look at. Unfortunately, I can’t think of the one that always stands out to me.
The orange stripe on the helmet needs to go. Otherwise, I think the helmet and logo are good, although I wouldn’t mind if they considered an orange helmet in some situations, like Clemson and the Illini have.
The jersey needs to be dark orange. I also want to see a return of the Orange Crush.
I have never been able to figure out what to do with the pants and socks, but the home uniform should be orange with white pants, and the away something dark and mean. I hate white jerseys of all types, and wish that we could just plain never wear them.

I like the solid orange
or not much orange. I really like the current uniforms, swooshes and all. I like the same color pant/jersey, whether it be all white with the blue swoosh, blue with the orange swoosh, or orange with the blue swoosh. The swooshes look SO cool when the guys are set at the line. Visually, the swoosh suggests forward momentum even when the players are still. I have also really liked the number font. It is unique. The only other team using anything close to that font is Baltimore.
Call me a 90’s lover. That’s when I was in college, so of course it’s my taste, SB wins aside. I like the dark blue, NOT the powder blue. I like the sleekness. If we are going to go with a Green Bay or Cleveland motif, what’s the point in even having a mascot? Just number the NFL teams 1-32 and take all the imagination out of the competition. Sports announcers should take all the bravado out of their voices, too. We should just get Stephen Hawking and Henry Kissinger to do Monday Night Football: “The number of digital ball-movement representations tabulated as a result of the actions of Team B is greater than the number of ball-movement representations tabulated as a result of the actions of Team X.” Hell, it could be reduced to a formula: pB>pX.

Love the post and your idea with predominant orange....
If my opinion mattered, I would prefer the home jerseys to be our current alternate home (predominantly orange), keeping the current ‘swoosh’ -action, I’ve already grown too accustomed to that, and it does have a smoothness to it., and every time I see any of our quarterbacks in it, I picture John in the SBs… I would also love if We donned that wicked sweet logo DeadDrunk brought to light, on our helmets -but as stated, making the letter orange to contrast with the helmets and such…. The snort/sneeze is just reminiscent of the 80’s unis and I dig that as well… Thanks for the post! Definitely rec’d.
First team to three consecutive SB wins!!!! and then some, right? I think four and we oughtta let someone else have a turn : )

Yeah
Thats exactly what I was thinking when I looked at those images.
Would look a lot like the Bears.
Just give me the Orange Alternate jersey’s like we used against the Saints and Chiefs last year to become our home jersey!

That would work for me
although the orange alternates are almost a little too bright, it needs to be a little more orange and a little less flourescent for me.

Sorry guy
I love our unis and they still look modern to me. Don’t change a thing at all.
I don’t want breakaway speed. I want break-some-poor-fool-as-I-bowl-you-over power getting 6 yards off a play that should have been stopped for 2 at most.

on the topic of Orange Crush:
I live in Patriots country (yuck), and a guy at work was drinking a can of OC (first time I’ve seen it in years), and he says to me “So, how bad will the Pats beat the Donkeys this year?”. So I just sat for a second, trying to respond to the insult, and I said “Until Patriot fans quit dipping into our Orange Crush, Belicheat has no chance in Denver.”
Oh, and as far as jerseys go, keep them the same, but make orange the home jersey. I love that. oh yeah, and orange pants on the road would be neato.

Still gonna party like it's 1999?
I was surprised that so many people still like the swooshy-Bears uniforms.
Seriously, people, the swooshes have gone the way of Zubaz and mullets. Maybe you want to take a swing at me… but you should at least stay calm long enough for your tattoo artist to finish your totally sweet tribal armband.

I still like our current uniforms...
But I really prefer when we go all dark blue. It just looks tougher than the white pants and dark jerseys…..

I like the current uni.
First, the current uniform was worn by SB winning teams, which were two years of greatness from my memories.
Second, the “greats” wore it. Elway, Davis, Sharpe, Smith, McCaf, etc.
Third, I think the horse head has a fantastic, “purposeful” look. The old horse head looked like it was shooting snot out of its nose inside a big letter “D” (as if to say, "This episode of Sesame Street was brought to you today by the letter “D”).
I would like to see more orange (since the primary color for our team is supposed to be orange, but the uniforms are blue). But as much of a traditionalist as I am, I don’t care for the plain-Jane Cleveland kind of look.

I agree mostly
I don’t necesarily hate the style of the uniforms now, and actually prefer the helmet logo we have now over the D and horse of the past. I do hate the fact that we don’t wear orange Jerseys at home, that has bothered be since we chagned to blue. Other than that the unis we have now don’t bother me.

I really think we need to stick with what we got.
The orange Unis with the blue strip down the side are beautiful. I really hate the white jerseys, but if we moved to the orange alternate jerseys and the blue jerseys with blue pants, that would be awesome. The whites gotta go, though.

No swooshes!
I can’t stand the swooshes they are awful and dated. We need to modernize by going to a more simple and clean style. The argument that we won super bowls wearing them is totally irrelevant . . . who cares!! We need change, we are due. Almost all NFl team tweak their uni’s here and there and now its our turn. I love the throbacks we are going to be wearing this year but I am not sure if I like them simply because they are a change from our current uni’s. I hope we get a change soon and I also love the topic. It’s refreshing to cover something that we don’t have to analyze or speculate on.

How about the medium blue for the pants?
I love the orange and blue. I understand the issue of not wanting to look like other teams (ie Chicago), but despite the issue that some folks find the darker color more intimidating, I’d like to see a re-emergence of the blue and orange that we made famous

You know - that brings up a great point and one I struggled with when I threw together some of those photos
So, Denver used to have a very obvious blue and orange combo that were particular to the Brocnos. When tehy made the switch, they knowingly got much closer to the Bears unis. That said, there are only so many combos of Orange, Blue, and White that you can use, especially when the only material color difference is midnight blue versus a bright navy blue.
Maybe Denver needs to change the blue back like you said, and I would think that going with an orange jersey would be the obvious way to differentiate our teams unis.
The argument that the new unis were the ones we won 2 super bowls in will hol;d water for a lot of fans, but that doesn’t mean that we should never go for a new uni, especially one that harkens to the uni we wore for over 36 out of 48 seasons that the Brocnos have existed.
I hope the Broncos, at very least, decide to go with the orange home jerseys full time at some point soon because it is who the Broncos are and have been. the fans love them, and most fans knew the Broncos before the swooshes (unless you’re younger than arouns 15 or so).
I guess I don’t hate the current unis, but I think that we should consider a change now that the franchise has undergone such a huge identity change. It would make me even more excited to see Denver trot out new unis to go with our new identity, kind of like what the Broncos did in 1996 or the Pats did in 2000 and many teams have doe in the past.
I honestly believe that within the next few years, Denver will begin the process of looking at new uniforms although I think they’ll keep the current logo and orange and blues color scheme. I don’t think they’ll drastically change the font of the numbers or the socks or anything, but I do think they’ll either reconfigure the underarm area or do away with the swooshes. I don’t have any proof, but it makes sense financially for a new and successful team. If McDaniels has the team competing for the AFC within another few seasons, I’d expect this to happen and I think the designs in my post are, in all likiehood, TOO MUCH of a departure from what we look like now, but that’s just what I WISH we looked like (being a child of the 80’s).
In conclusion, I think it’s cool that we all care so much. I am in no way fashion savvy, I just love the Broncos ans I want us to have a distinct look that’s all our own and I feel like that look MUST be an orange jersey.
Thanks for your support and LETS GO BRONCOS!

Why don’t we just become the lions while we are at it??? Our helmets are fine. The orange eyes are fierce enough as it is. Chill. There is nothing wrong with our unis right now. The white needs to go, but the orange and blue are fine.

Make mine Orange! Orange jerseys w/ white pants
Keep the swooshes and use the blue jerseys w/ white pants on the road. The solid blue helmet is an improvement, I suppose keeping stripes on the socks keeps with tradition.

However, if the Broncos did change their unis, then I would want them to go back to the orange jerseys with that logo that DeadDrunk posted a ways up in the thread.

Why don't we go with an ORANGE helmet?
Yeahhhh…. That’s the ticket! Orange helmet with the “DeadDrunk D” only having the horse charging forward, not contorted. I wouldn’t mind changing the blue to a deep royal blue, but I don’t like the 80’s lighter blue. I like the Navy, but EddieRoyal Blue would not be bad. LOL

but we should stylize the hooves to match the new horse head, and the orange mane doesn’t contrast with the orange D too well… not sure how to fix that one.
