Why mess with what works?
When they face the Panthers in Super Bowl 50, the Broncos will wear the all-white uniforms they wore in Super Bowl XXXIII in 1999, when they defeated the Falcons.
As the designated home team, the Broncos got to choose their uniform color for the big game. The home/away designations for Super Bowls switches conferences each year; Seattle was the home team in last year’s Super Bowl against the Patriots and elected to wear their blue-on-blue uniforms.
“We’ve had some Super Bowl success in our white uniforms, and we’re looking forward to wearing them again in Super Bowl 50,” general manager and executive vice president John Elway said .
In Elway’s final NFL game, the Broncos defeated the Falcons 34-19 in Miami for their second consecutive Super Bowl title. Named the game’s MVP, Elway completed 18 of 29 passes for 336 yards, with one touchdown and one interception, and had one rushing touchdown in the victory.
Super Bowl 50 will be the Broncos’ eighth appearance all-time and their seventh since Pat Bowlen purchased the team in 1984. They own a 2-5 all-time record.
