This season is shaping up as the most diversified in terms of uniforms and colors in Denver Broncos history.
Teams are allowed to wear their alternate (third) jersey a max of three times, one in preseason and two in the regular season. That’s good news for Bronco fans who can’t get enough orange, as the locals will wear it three times out of the 10 regular and preseason home games.
But then, in addition to the blue that marks the standard Bronco uniform, Denver will dip back, way back, in time and wear the Broncos’ original 1960 uniform when the Broncos host the Boston (for that game, Boston) Patriots in one of the American Football League matchups this year. That means gold (really, a mustard yellow) home jersey, seal brown pants and helmet, no logo, just a uniform number of the helmet, and of course the legendary, infamous vertically striped gold and brown socks.
The Patriots will also be wearing their 1960’s vintage uniforms as well, featuring their original logo and red, white and blue.
The end zones will boast a 1960’s diamond-look as well, in the opinion of many one of the classiest looking end zone treatments in pro football history.
There will be a few other elements to highlight that rematch of the first game in AFL history, with those details to come out as we get a bit closer to the game.
This will truly be a step back into history at INVESCO Field at Mile High.

The socks, dude!!! The socks!
SO ugly….but SOOOOOOO excited hahahahah!!!!!
Thanks for the article Jim.
ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported on “SportsCenter” Tuesday that Dallas running back Felix Jones will likely miss the game against Denver on Sunday.
Nice article Jim……………Pumped
Dude, those are da shiz!
Does anyone know for sure if it is orange or blue this weekend?
it should be orange this weekend.
How do you know what color they wear each week?
I look into my crystal ball, dont u???
I posted this on the other blog, but couldn’t help to post it again here…

Orange this weekend, as well as Nov.9th versus the Steelers! Bring back the ORANGE CRUSH UNI’S!!!
LOL, bring on the vertical striped socks!!!!! I could use a laugh.
GO BRONCOS!!!!
Yesss! Orange it is… just needed to know what to pack for my trek up to Denver from SD for the game this weekend…
Thanks guys…
GO BRONCOS!
Nice post whitebronco#1, I especially enjoyed the segment about how teams are perceived based on schedule and past performance, so true. This isn’t college where you can line up legitimate cupcakes, it’s the NFL, the best of the best, and I’m glad the Broncos are finally getting some credit for winning, no matter who the opponent is! Just gotta keep pluggin’ week to week. GO BRONCOS
P.S. Jim, who could I talk with to get a job with the Broncos?
sigh….makes me wonder if color schemes didnt exist in the early 60s and the artistic sense were dull lol. But then again we were a new franchise starting out and probably didnt have all the money in the world cuz in a few years we started looking better.
The brown makes sense….for horses byt that yellow is just too hilarious. Never seen it in action so Im looking forward to it. Nice that we put it on when McD faces his old team. GO BRONCOS!!!
I believe Jim wrote during the offseason that the uniforms were purchased from the University of Wyoming….hence the brown and yellow colors. It was 1960.
I did some research for an article a while ago and read that they were used uniforms cause original owner Bob Howsham couldn’t afford better ones and they came from the Copper Bowl in Tucson, Arizona.
Either way, they’re comical but apart of our history. Gotta love those socks though!!!
Hey 07elway ! How’s everything! Hope school is going good for u! Thought that’s what I read a while back…thanks for the clarification.
What’s been your favorite part of how are the season is going so far?
We’ll be at the game on Sunday ! Hope we sellout !!
are we wearin our throw-way-backs
(brown and yellows) against the Cowboys and the Pats?
07elway: Went back and read archives for Jim…my bad. I did read where Jim mentioned they were purchased from Copper Bowl.
I predict a blow out game against the cowboys. 28-14 broncos win
ROMO throws 2 int and hold the running game under 100 yds.
AND THE MAIN EVENT……..DUMERVIL GETS 2 SACKS
No… We’re wearing them against the Pats… and I think it’s the Raiders also…
The Cowboys weren’t ever an AFL team, and we’re only wearing them against 2 old AFL teams…
we are wearing orange against Dallas and the AFL uniforms versue pats and san diego.
it IS the chargers?… I knew it was them or the raiders, but wasn’t sure… So I went w/ my gut… it was wrong…
emaldo:
Just the Pats. Orange against the Cowgirls.
There is one more game after the Cowboy game that we’re gonna wear our Orange jerseys for… Any clue what it is?
I Think Pitt

whitebronco,
thanks for that link on McDaniels and the team. I watched that media file yesterday and I’ve never felt so at ease for a coach. McD is a smart man.
Hey everyone, there is a really fun game at denverpost.com. you should check it out
Its under the Broncos section
when i see the broncos in the brown, yellow, gold, whatever uniforms, its not gonna feel like im watching the broncos…would rather have the other throwback uniforms with the D and the gorse through it, when elway was here…love those uniforms!!!!!
Horse…not gorse….LOL
we better not wear those in a game this year. frank tripuka and company destroyed those for a reason. if we are going old school this year, we should wear the old orange uniforms (one game with the big D on the helmet and maybe another with the goofy looking bronco on the helmet). denver’s identity is orange and blue, and that should remain forever!!!
Hey royalbroncofan1… school is not that good or at least this one class isn’t. So much work and I’m so easily distracted! Can’t wait till its over next week. Think I’ll throw a party when this class is over! haha
As for our Broncos, I love how we’ve been playing. Very impressed with our defense this year… absolutely amazes me they’ve made such huge improvements in just a year. Red zone offense needs some work but I’m not worried. Orton is getting better with each game and is proving to be very reliable in key plays. He’s not making as many mistakes in the regular season as he did preseason. He has a great O-line to work with and they’ll make a great stone wall for him on Sunday. They just need to take it one game at a time. Patience, practice and then some more patience and practice.
GO BRONCOS!!!!!
The cowboy are in for a big surprise sunday.
The uniforms came from Tucson, 07 Elway? Sweet. I served my mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in Tucson, so that’s sweet. In any case, I look forward to the orange uniforms, the brown and yellow, not so much. However, if we win, there’s nothing wrong with our appearance. Let’s keep winning and making the experts who denounced us look like fools. GO BRONCOS!!!
AY I FINALLY GET TO WATCH A FULL GAME BECAUSE THE GAME BROADCASTS IN THE MIDWEST!!!!!!! I BEEN WAITING SO LONG TO SEE A WHOLE GAME. IM EVEN MORE EXCITED NOW!!!!!!!
WE WANT A BONFIRE ! ! !
hey every one needs to vote for Buck and Moreno multible times
In the past, we have always worn our alternate (orange jerseys) on Thanksgiving games, which this year would mean against the Giants on Thursday night Football…
#92, WATCH OUT FOR FLOZELL ADAMS!!! HE’S BEEN TRIPPING ANYBODY THAT GETS BY HIM! MAYBE YOU COULD GIVE HIM A DOSE OF HIS OWN MEDICINE!!!!
07elway: Totally agree….our Defense has been a nice surprise!
Best wishes with school and I hope all goes well.
Hey gang, I can only stop in for a sec. Nice update Jim. I almost forgot about the uniforms. Those socks crack me up. Ugly color. Oh well, it’s the history of it all, I guess.
On another note, Fan Huddle goes online tomorrow. I already wrote my 1st article, ready to be read tomorrow. Nothing fancy, just trying to get used to the system. I will be doing a player piece tomorrow and some player updates. Friday I will do a Denver/Dallas match-up. Stop by the Denver Broncos site. My co-writer Chris Smith, has also write a couple of article. Stop by, comment on the blog. Not trying to pull anyone away from this site. Hell, I’ll be stopping by periodically. I’m just hoping to spread the interest. Hope to see you there and feel the love, ha, ha. http://www.fanhuddle.com/
Where can I find those socks? I wanna purchase some. I plan on wearing a wolverine mask painted brown the yellow is already there and purchasing a throwback dakwins jersey. My sign shall read “Thanks for the color change” Other side will read “I’d rather bleed orange than pee chargers yellow”. I shall represent monday night against the san diego super CHOKERS!!!
