The expectation is that the Denver Broncos will go back to full-time Orange uniforms starting in 2012. Nike, of course, takes over handling on-field apparel next season as well.

For 2011, the Broncos still can wear the Orange as an alternative choice. We finally got word which games the Broncos will, in fact, wear the Orange:

Many of you have asked - the team will wear its orange jerseys Week 1 on MNF vs. Oak and Week 8 at home vs. Det.less than a minute ago via web Favorite Retweet Reply

How awesome will it be to see the Broncos, on Monday Night Football, against the Oakland Raiders, wearing the Orange unis? While it does remind me of a game a few years back when the Broncos and Raiders played in a snow-game at Invesco Field( a Broncos loss), I am still pumped about it.

The other game - a Week 8 contest against the Detroit Lions - doesn't hold the sentimental appeal, but for me, anytime the Broncos wear Orange is a celebration, indeed!
