Broncos Peel Orange
Wed., Feb. 5, 1997
The Denver Broncos’ traditional bright-orange jerseys are no more.
Long known as the Orange Crush, the Broncos unveiled their new look Tuesday: midnight blue uniforms with white numbers outlined in orange trim.
The “D” on the helmet also was replaced with the head of a sleek white horse with a flowing orange mane and orange eyes.
