The Denver Broncos unveiled new uniforms ahead of the 2024 to mixed reviews.
“The fans’ perceptions I think varied,” Broncos owner/CEO Greg Penner said during an end-of-season press conference Wednesday. “The one thing I would say about the fans is there is very strong interest. I think some loved it, some didn’t like it — and I think that’s to be expected — but they definitely care.
“I think we wore 13 different combinations this year, including the throwbacks. Unanimously, I think everybody loved the throwbacks. I like the navy with the snow-capped helmets. I think those are great as well. The core uniform I thought looked great.”
“There was one combination I wasn’t crazy about…”

There is one uniform combo that Penner doesn’t like.
“There was one combination that I wasn’t crazy about, which was the blue socks, orange pants, blue shirt,” Penner said. “Maybe we won’t do that one again. But I think [the uniforms overall] showed really well.”
This is what that combo would look like:
I can see why Greg Penner doesn’t like the Navy/Orange/Navy combo, but compared to the White and Orange socks, I think Navy socks is the best of a very bad bunch. pic.twitter.com/x8r3szhFZc

Penner seemingly misspoke because the Broncos did not wear a blue jersey with orange pants and blue socks this season. He presumably meant an orange jersey with blue pants and blue socks, which looked like this:

NFL teams have to wait six years before making primary changes to uniforms, so the team’s new look won’t be changed anytime soon. Some of the possible combinations might be removed from the rotation, though, and it seems safe to assume Penner will have the final say on that.
