Denver Broncos Elements of Style: Jersey Edition

Monday Night Football? Ladies and gentlemen, the 2011 football season has finally come to Denver! As fans we owe it to the Broncos and the state of Colorado to look our best. I'm not talking tuxedos or fancy dresses. No, I'm talking about your jersey selection and how your jersey is worn. We've all seen jersey faux pas in our day to day lives and I'm here to give you a few tips so that you don't end up the laughing stock of your stadium section or living room.
Follow me after the jump for tried and true guidelines guaranteed to make you look your best.
1. Do your best to honor the uniform choice of the team on each particular game day. For example, today is Orange Monday - You should probably choose your orange jersey over the white or blue. When the Broncos are in their visitor whites, go for the whites. Home blues? Go with that. Keep it simple. However, when in doubt as to what uniform the Broncos are going to wear, you can always error on the side of orange. Nobody will fault you for it and you're guaranteed to look pretty freakin' sweet in it.
2. Players retire and move on leaving you with a relic of their tenure in Denver. What do you do with old jerseys? It really depends on the player. If you have the jersey of a former Bronco great; Sharpe, Elway, McCaffrey, Smith, Atwater, Gradishar, Little, etc. are all acceptable to wear at any time regardless of the color scheme of the team (unless it's Orange Monday). Jerseys of players that recently left the team are forbidden. There is nothing sadder than seeing someone walking around in a Broncos Hillis jersey. I'm not saying that you have to throw it away. I'm saying you have to put it in a drawer for a few years. There's always a chance that player could come back (Shannon Sharpe did!) or the wearing of the jersey could be ironically awesome (Jerry Rice #19). However, if a player leaves under terrible circumstances that embarrasses the city of Denver or the Broncos, under no circumstances are you to wear that jersey ever again. Seriously, you don't want to remind your fellow Broncos fans of the drama around Jay Cutler or Eddie Kennison. (It should be noted that Travis Henry and Maurice Clarett jerseys are kind of on the embarrassing/awesomely ironic fence. I'll defer to the individual fan to make the call on those.)
3. Under no circumstances are you to deface a Broncos jersey. Putting duct tape on it in the shape of the male anatomy because you were angry about how Cutler left Denver is insulting to the colors. Also forbidden is the cutting of jerseys in half to sew together with another team's jersey (Laura Quinn - I'm looking at you). It's not so hard to make a singular choice on game day. Just pick one. You don't need to destroy two jerseys to show that you're noncommittal to either team. Jerseys that have been altered to fit the female form are allowed if done in good taste.
4. Jerseys with your own name or "#1PRATERFAN" on it are frowned upon (unless you're under eight years-old). Gimmicky broncos jerseys are also not encouraged. Camouflage, pink, black - whatever the gimmick is probably not a good idea. If the team has ever worn it on the field, it's okay.
5. Do not cross contaminate your jersey. Please do not wear your Broncos jersey with a hat from another sport/team. It's confusing to see someone in a vintage Elway jersey also rocking a Tampa Bay Rays hat. The jersey demands respect while the silly hat choice makes one wonder... Acceptable alternate hat choices include 9/11 memorial hats and other such hats that honor important things.
6. Do not tuck your jersey into your shorts. We all know this guy. He's the one who also rocks the cell phone holster on his belt and wears black socks with sandals. He must be stopped at all costs.
7. Do not buy one of those elongated "basketball length" jerseys if it's not exactly what you want. There's something awful about a dude that wears a jersey that hangs on him like a nightgown.
8. Dry clean your jerseys. Home washing machines will absolutely destroy your jersey. They cost more than some some dressy clothes and needed to be afforded that same respect. Also, they can get more than a little gross after a season's worth of wing sauce and beer stains (also recently the tear stains have been a bit overwhelming).
9. Personally, I don't wear jerseys on non-game days and never during the off season. I see them as a game day treat. There's just something wrong about seeing that rogue Steeler fan at the DMV in May rocking the full regalia. I also don't wear a jersey on draft day because now matter what happens, the player I'm wearing won't be drafted again or even mentioned. I'll leave this up to you.
10. Most importantly, especially for fans outside of Colorado, acknowledge your fellow Broncos fans who rock jerseys on game day. Be prideful that you root for the best team in football and revel in that with your fellow fans. We are the greatest fans in football and, after following these rules, Bronco fans should look better than the rest. Look good, feel good. Feel good, <something something> Broncos win the Super Bowl.
What do you think? Do you have rules for wearing your jersey? What jersey you rocking today?
Go Broncos!

I never understand people who do #5, I hate doing it because it just looks silly.
- I always do, because there are so few that I ever see if any at all living in Philly. I usually give a thumbs up or a “Hey, I like your jersey” while wearing one of my own.

YELLOW!?!
I will be rocking my Yellow and Brown Champ Bailey Jersey. I loved those ugly throwbacks. I’ll be watching the game with quite a few Broncos fans so I’m sure to stand out.
Unfortunately my only other choice is a Cutler Jersey which I refuse to ever but on my back again.
I do have an Elway, TD, and Sharpe but all are of the fancy sewn in numbers and names variety and I have retired them for years now. Might bust out the Elway for our next Super Bowl appearance though.

I have two old Elway jerseys, one in blue, one in the traditional Orange
Yet, I’ll be wearing my Tebow jersey tonight. It’s in the new style with the blue stripe down the side and prefer it. Maybe I’ll wear Elway to start the game just for old time’s sake.
As I was sitting here at work, wishing 5:00 would get here so I could go home,
it dawned on me. I have two Raider Hater T-shirts (one white, one blue) that were sold at Village Inn Restaurants (and co-sponsored by KOA radio) a few years ago. I think I’ll wear the blue one tonight.
I agree with all of the above rules
except #8, The nearest dry cleaners is 60 miles away.
by HawaiiBroncoFan on Sep 12, 2011 12:10 PM MDT reply actions
I was actually told by the clerk at a sports apparrel store
that the jerseys can be machine washed but they should never be put in the dryer. So that’s how I take care of my Tebow jersey. I always hang it up to dry, and it still looks as good as new. Well, except where it’s been snagged by unknown objects and has those little threads sticking out. (Another rule could be never wear the jersey while doing chores around the house.)

Same here… I never ever subject my jerseys (or any other Bronco shirt, for that matter) to dryer heat. Like you, I always hang mine up to dry… nice to know I’m not alone… I’ve had people roll their eyes at me for this. LOL

If you can afford to ROCK a jersey. Please feel free to put your own name on the back of the Jersey. Custom jerseys are not cheap either and you can guarantee that the jersey will be relivant for the rest of your life or at least as long as the Broncos are in Denver. Heck, put your last name on it and hand it down to family members. Besides, this game is as much about the fans (at least should be) as it is about the players so hold your head high.
If you can afford to ROCK a jersey please feel free to ROCK what ever Bronco jersey you can afford because they don’t come cheap.
Feel free to tuck your jersey in too. I’m not a big fan of it but lets face it. Your hero, you know that guy on the back of your jersey…..he does it ever single game.
If you can afford to ROCK a jersey then please feel free to wear any of the following with pride because all were drafted by the Broncos, played hard for the Broncos, wanted to be Broncos and were proud to be Broncos….but were traded away by a selfish person that was never a Bronco and brought dicrase to our great team, city and state.
Jay Cutler
Peyton Hillis

Rule #8
I just wash my jerseys on delicate setting in cold water with detergent an no fabric softener. Two jerseys at a time inside out then air dry on a hanger directly out of the washer. They never go in a dryer.

Rule #9
I usually give it a month after my team has been eliminated or a month after the Super Bowl or championship. As long as the shame has washed away from the previous season. If a team makes the playoffs I give it a month or until the team that defeated my team has been eliminated. Nothing sadder than seeing a jersey that is sitting there collecting dust.

I agree with most of the points except the jerseys only on game day, I rock my Bronco jerseys anytime of the year. When I was in High School I ALWAYS wore my jersey the day after a game, win or lose I show my Bronco Pride (plus it always sparks a spirited debate with friends/haters)

I wore my broncos hoodie to work today.
With the weather cooling off, I’ll probably be wearing it everyday for the next several months. When it gets really cold, I wear it under my leather jacket. Warm and fashionable. I love it!
I mentioned above that I’m thinking of wearing my orange Elway to start the game, then switching to my orange Tebow later on. Maybe in the second half.
I never wear my blue Elway.
Orange is our color. And just to be clear, I didn’t buy the blue, it was given to me by a friend.

Did you wear them as an outer garment?

Typically I frown upon Age Gap Jersey Wearing
Like if I see a 21 year old wearing a Lyle Alzado jersey, its cool, but how does a 21 year even know who Lyle Alzado was besides reading about him? The only reason a 21 year old is wearing that because its cool to throw it back and its not based on anything but that.
I remember watching games as of 1993 basically, so I am not gonna wear a “throwback” jersey that dates before then or before 1987 the date of my birth.

That's an interesting point that I never thought about.
But maybe a person wears the jersey of a player that was a favorite of his/her dad/mom, and learned a lot about the player through the mom or dad.

In the famous words of Napoleon Dynamite,
LucKEY! I want an orange Orton jersey, too! My wife bought me an orange Tebow jersey for Father’s Day last year, and it’s actually the first, and only, player jersey I’ve ever had. Before I got it, I was strictly a wearer of Bronco shirts, and was never really interested in buying any player jerseys, but now I think it’s kind of cool to wear it. (Although I do have a pretty worn out John Lynch t-shirt.)
Agree with most of the rules, but #9 is crazy
There’s nothing I love more than wearing a Broncos jersey and I wear them year-round. They are expensive, and instead of being a treat, I get my money’s worth out of them. The only jersey I’ll never wear again is Cutler, and that’s because it’s hanging upside down above my staircase down to my mancave.
Oh, and I was going to wear my blue Moreno since I’m looking forward to seeing if he breaks out this year (and I have a fantasy team dependent on him), but since it’s an orange night I suppose I’ll just have pull out the old Champ Bailey jersey (which I ordered online thinking I remembered my size and had it turn out to be dangerously close to breaking rule No. 7 with).

Is pretty cool. I think enough time has passed when it’s now got a classic air to it. Wear it proudly!

Orange DOOM jersey tonight!
I’m torn between excitement and apprehension! I hope our boys do us proud tonight!
Bleeding Orange and Blue for 44 years
I will be sporting my white Tebow jersey tonight, amidst a bar full of raiders fans here in SoCal. I am debating on wearing my black hat with the current broncos logo, or my blue hat with the old school logo with the white bronco (pre-D). I am leaning more toward the blue one because I don’t wan to wear ANY black when playing the raiders.

I made a cool find
An orange, “Orange Crush”, jersey. It doesn’t have any mention of the Broncos (other than the reference) and I’m not sure it’s not just wishful or orange-colored glasses on my part, but it looks to me like a savvy 1970’s-knowledegable fan put this bad boy together.

Looking for clarification on #2
The jerseys I currently own are John Lynch (blue), Romo (blue) and Jake Plummer (white).
I figure Lynch is clearly acceptable and that’s what I’m wearing tonight. Romo was fairly popular during his tenure and was one of my favorites growing up, so I think that’s okay. But what about Plummer?
Plummer is encouraged!
Wear it with pride.

Sporting my orange Elway jersey from the mid-90's......
Don’t have an orange jersey for a current player just yet….
I have a white one with my name, and blue ones with: McCaffrey, Davis and Elway.
No matter who starts at QB, we will be 8-8 or better (8-2-11) Official projection 10-6 (9-6-11)
