The Broncos are going big for Pat Bowlen’s Ring of Fame induction on Nov. 1, when the team hosts the Green Bay Packers.
The Broncos will break out their blue tops, . But instead of matching them with the blue pants, they’ll bring back the white pants with orange stripes, a throw back to the uniforms they wore when they won Super Bowl XXXII in 1998.
Many members of that Super Bowl team are expected to be in attendance for the Packers game to honor Bowlen as he becomes the 22nd member of the Ring of Fame.
On Dec. 13, when they host the Raiders, the Broncos will bring back their all-blue ensemble, and outfit they have not worn against Oakland since 2010.
Denver is 3-0 in their blue-and-blue uniforms, and this year will mark the second consecutive season in which they don them in prime-time games. They wore them last year for a Sunday Night Football victory over the 49ers, a game that may always be remembered for one number: 509.
