PALM BEACH, Fla. — Broncos fans can expect to see the team’s retro uniforms more frequently in the future.
Denver president Damani Leech on Monday said the NFL “refreshed” its uniform policy, allowing teams to wear their throwbacks and retro uniforms four times per season rather than three. Teams will have more flexibility with their alternate helmets, too.
“That’ll be great, more opportunities to wear the throwbacks,” Leech said.
The Broncos in 2024 wore their 1977 “Orange Crush” retro uniforms twice and also their alternate “Midnight Navy” once.
Now, Leech said, “As an example, we could wear our white helmets with orange-on-orange pants and jerseys. So things like that will just add more flexibility to the closet and hopefully be exciting for the players, but also for the fans.”
The closet itself is still limited to four options: home, road, alternate and throwback.
“So our throwback is orange, and you’re still limited in that,” Leech said. “The issue is you can now wear your alternate or throwback four times rather than three. And you have flexibility on the helmet.”
Sprechen sie Deutsch? The Broncos don’t yet know whether they’ll play an international game in 2025.
If they do, however, they prefer it to be against Indianapolis in Berlin, Germany.
“I’d personally say I was surprised that (Payton) really vocalized his interest in playing in Germany,” Leech said. “I think he likes to travel, he likes the team being alone-ish together and what that does from a culture standpoint. He likes the idea of being first and playing in a city like Berlin for the first time in the NFL regular season.”
Denver is also a road team against the New York Jets, who have a London game this fall, so that would be another potential international destination.
The NFL schedule is typically released in May.
