Manning’s Jersey Tops League

May 30th, 2012 - 7:32am by Stuart ZaasOther posts by

The new Nike orange Broncos jerseys have been in high demand since they went on sale in April, and one player’s in particular has been flying off shelves across the country.

Quarterback Peyton Manning leads all players in jersey sales for April and May on NFLShop.com according to the NFL.

The top six players in jersey sales are all quarterbacks and the top four have yet to take a snap with their new teams.

There are two Mannings in the top-five, with Eli coming in fifth off his second Super Bowl title.

Von Miller also represented the Broncos on the top-25 list, with his No. 58 ranking 21st.

Manning’s jersey can be purchased online or at the Broncos Team Store.

The Pro Bowl cornerback came away impressed.

“From the outside looking in, you might not see a whole lot (of difference),” Bailey said. “But the feel is different. And Nike is top-notch — you can’t get much better than that.”

Nike described the uniform changes below:

The Denver Broncos have chosen to take full innovation in the Nike Elite 51 football uniform. The Broncos design aesthetic will stay true to years past while updating the color-blocking in the neckline in order to accommodate the Flywire technology to reduce weight and provide a lockdown fit over the pads. Designed and engineered from the inside out, the new uniform focuses on creating a system where the baselayer, padding, jersey and pant work in concert. A few of the new innovations include increasing sleeve articulation for better range of motion and integrating new four-way stretch fabrication to provide a streamlined shrink-wrap fit.

As for the new feel Bailey mentioned, he said he believes it will benefit the players on gamedays.

Broncos Uniforms Unveiled

April 3rd, 2012 - 9:06am by Gray CaldwellOther posts by

The NFL and Nike unveiled all 32 teams’ new uniforms Tuesday in New York City.

Above is a look at the Broncos’ new orange threads, courtesy of CNBC’s Darren Rovell.

Here is Nike’s description of the new technology utilized in the uniforms:

The Denver Broncos have chosen to take full innovation in the Nike Elite 51 football uniform. The Broncos design aesthetic will stay true to years past while updating the color-blocking in the neckline in order to accommodate the Flywire technology to reduce weight and provide a lockdown fit over the pads. Designed and engineered from the inside out, the new uniform focuses on creating a system where the baselayer, padding, jersey and pant work in concert. A few of the new innovations include increasing sleeve articulation for better range of motion and integrating new four-way stretch fabrication to provide a streamlined shrink-wrap fit.

Champ Bailey is at the event to model Denver’s jersey.

Here is a photo gallery of the uniforms courtesy of Nike.

Mitch Unrein, who recently helped get Broncos weight room equipment donated to his high school, recalled trying on a prototype of the new jersey material during the season.

“We got to see the new material –- I remember trying my jersey on and it fit like a glove,” he said. “There is no extra material on them. It’s just boom, fits perfectly on the pads. That helps you out a lot if you’re a defensive lineman because it has that nice cut around the arms, so those offensive lineman can’t hold on to you as much.”

Colorful Season At Home

September 29th, 2009 - 2:16pm by jim_saccomanoOther posts by

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.

Denver Broncos fans will see the most colorful uniform variety in team history for the home games at INVESCO Field at Mile High this year.

Of course, the team’s primary home uniform remains the dark blue jersey and white pants.

By now fans are well aware of the fact that the Broncos are celebrating their 50th season of play and the American Football League this year. As a result, Denver will don the notorious 1960 uniform, featuring seal brown pants and helmet, gold jersey (kind of a mustard yellow), and the infamous gold and brown vertically striped socks.

We’re Not Lion on These Facts

This week the Denver Broncos travel to Detroit to play the Lions in beautiful new Ford Field.

I was fortunate to have been able to work the Super Bowl for the NFL when it was played in Detroit, so I am very familiar with the Lions’ new stadium.  A spectacular edifice, both functional and attractive.

Of course, everyone knows that Detroit has bounced back in a big way this year, coming into this game with a 5-2 record, but there are still a few fun facts about this franchise that most do not know.
