For the first time in nearly 30 years, the Denver Broncos radically redesigned their uniforms and unveiled their new look on Monday.
The Broncos spent more than two years working on the new design and after all that time, they created a look that pays homage to both the history of their franchise and the Rocky Mountain region where they play.
Now that we’ve seen the release video, let’s take a look at the new jerseys below.
With three jersey colors, the Broncos will now have the option to wear nine different uniform combinations and they revealed some of those combinations on Monday.
Inside the neckline of each jersey, the team included the words “Broncos Country” to honor its fans. They also included the number 5,280 as a nod to Denver’s altitude (the number is also on the front of their new helmets).
Although the Broncos will keep their Navy helmets for most games, they also unveiled a white alternate helmet.
The Marine helmet is very similar to the one they wore before, but the team made some slight changes.
Another unique aspect of the uniforms is that the font of the numbers was chosen as a nod to the signage of Colorado’s national parks, according to the team’s official website.
It’s a pretty solid look and team president Damani Leech is understandably excited about what the team has come up with.
“As we honor the Broncos’ championship tradition, we are also committed to innovation and growth during such a transformative time in the franchise’s history,” Leech said. “Our new uniforms boldly incorporate elements of our past, present and future while paying homage to the Colorado and Rocky Mountain region we are proud to call home.”
The Broncos also announced that they would be bringing back one of the most iconic looks in NFL history with the return of their 1977 Orange Crush uniforms.
The Broncos will also wear their Royal Blue helmets, meaning they will have a total of three helmets for the 2024 season.
The Broncos’ uniforms haven’t undergone any major changes since 1997. In the 27 years since, the Broncos have made only a few slight changes: They released a Color Rush jersey in 2016, and they revealed a white helmet in 2023but their main uniforms remained mostly intact.
If you want to know how the new uniforms compare to the old ones, you can see it below.
Looks like an upgrade.
The Broncos are one of four teams that have revealed or are set to reveal new uniforms this year. The Jets and Lions have already revealed new uniforms and the Houston Texans will reveal theirs on Tuesday.
