The Denver Broncos have given few details about their new uniform plans other than acknowledging that a new look is being worked on.
Two years ago, Broncos president Damani Leech said the club aims to balance its history of the uniform that won Super Bowls while also understanding that tastes and style evolve over time. That has led to speculation that Denver could put a modern spin on its current look.
The Broncos have already modified their Color Rush uniform to now include a new alternate white helmet, and the alternate look could get another refresh in 2024. Meanwhile, fans remain eager for information about the new primary uniform. Rumors have started.
Mario Vetanze, a certified posture exercise professional and massage therapist who lists Denver players among his clients, posted a thread on Twitter/X last month detailing some of the changes coming to the new uniforms. A few of those details:
- The parentheses stripes on side of uniform are gone
- There will be an emphasis on ‘5280‘ and mountains
- Iconic 1968-1996 look will be an alternate
This presumably means that the Broncos are not switching back to the old “D” logo permanently, but instead continuing to use it as an alternate.
More recently, someone who goes by “Brady2024” on Denver’s official forum platform teased additional details that should probably be taken with a grain of salt. Of note:
- Switching to white helmets permanently
- Keeping current logo with minor tweak
- Three new tops and one throwback
- Blue mountains on the sleeve
- Subtle 5280 on side of pants
While the above info should be taken with a grain of salt, it’s perhaps notable that another Twitter/X page dedicated to NFL uniforms shared this concept design last week:

The mountains on the shoulders seem to be a running theme. A Reddit user who seemingly connected the dots from the above Twitter/forum posts shared this concept on Reddit as “almost dead on” for the new look:
Once again, all of this should be taken in with at least some skepticism. They are only rumors at this point.

For what it’s worth, KOA Radio’s Benjamin Allbright says the mockup design is not a look that has been discussed by the team:
All I can confirm is that hideous thing floating around on Reddit is not something that has ever even been discussed per team source. https://t.co/27iIKYyYS0

We do know that new uniforms are on the way. We don’t know exactly what they look like, but the above concepts are worth discussing. We should find out more from the team in the coming months.
