The Denver Broncos released a ton of new uniforms this offseason as they went through a uniform rebrand but kept the same logo and colors. They did so by connecting the 5280 on the helmets and uniforms while also bringing a sleek new look that is easy to get behind.

As part of their daring rebrand, the Broncos have unveiled three distinct new uniforms: white tops, orange tops, and blue tops, each paired with their respective pants. These uniforms, with their unique design elements, are sure to make a statement on the field. 

The team has also introduced three new helmets, each with its own unique modifications. The first is a white cap helmet, subtly altered for a fresh look. The second is the previous helmet, now featuring an eye-catching orange half stripe on the back, adding a bold touch to the Broncos' new uniform lineup. Then, there is the new throwback helmet.

The Broncos pulled a surprise, though, on the same exact day and an hour later. They revealed their throwback uniforms during this new era, too. They look the same as the old ones in a few different ways, but they are certainly different. 

The shoulder stripes, pant stripes, and helmet stripes are different. The logo is also different. Overall, the blue color is different, too. With the schedule now released, everyone has wanted to know when the Broncos will wear each jersey. As far as the throwbacks, we can do some investigative journalism to find out at least one week they will wear the 1977-inspired uniforms.

The Broncos announced that safety Steve Foley and tight end Riley Odoms will be inducted into the Hall of Fame in Week 5 against the Las Vegas Raiders. The two were crucial members of the 1977 team when they wore those throwback uniforms.

To me, it makes too much sense for the team not to wear the uniforms when the Broncos are at home against their biggest rival ever. I'm guessing that will be the first time we see the uniforms live on the field.
