The Denver Broncos unveiled a new uniform set this spring to mixed reviews. The team’s throwback uniform is universally loved, but there was a lot of negative feedback online for Denver’s new primary uniform.
Four months later, fans seem to have warmed up to the new look. Seeing the uniform worn by players in a game probably helped.
“It was really fun to see them on the field this weekend,” Broncos team president Damani Leech said Tuesday. “It’s not quite as much as your baby being born, but it was little bit like that seeing them out there running around. It was really fun. I rewatched the broadcast after the game to see it. I think they’re beautiful.
“It was really fun to see. It’ll be fun to see how it gets switched up. The players are driving which pants they wear each game. So we’ll take their cues on that, but I think it’ll be great to see. For the Raiders game we’ll wear the throwbacks and that’ll be really special, too.”
Denver has announced which jerseys will be worn for each game this season, but as Leech noted, the players will pick the colors of the pants for each game. This week, the Broncos will wear white jerseys with orange pants at home against the Green Bay Packers (stream the game free). After that, Denver will close out preseason against the Arizona Cardinals on Aug. 25.
