Broncos share funny fake uniform on April Fools’ Day, tease alternate helmet

The Broncos shared a fake new uniform concept (April Fools!) and then teased the very real possibility of new alternate helmets for 2023 👀

The Denver Broncos know their fans are eagerly awaiting updates on the possibility of the team getting new uniforms, and they tapped into that anticipation with a spoof video on April Fools’ Day.

The Broncos shared a video on their official Twitter page on Saturday (April 1) showing a uniform concept “designed” by Miles, their mascot.

“It’s your uniform … but worse,” a voice says in the background. The design featured a tail, Crocs instead of cleats and mismatched socks.

“It’s a no for more,” another voice tells the mascot.

Miles did not take the rejection well, kicking a trash can on his way out:

At the end of the video, the Broncos did reward fans who stuck around with some based-in-reality nuggets.

“Good things take time,” team president Damani Leech says before a staffer chimes in to add, “Wait, but Damani, what about the alternate helmets?” The video then cuts off abruptly.

It’s a clever move from the team because fans in Denver will be left wondering if the alternate helmets are also part of the April Fool’s bit. There’s good news on that front — alternate helmets are expected to debut this fall. Well done, Broncos. Well done.

First look at WR Sammy Watkins in No. 11 Packers uniform

WR Sammy Watkins will wear No. 11 with the Green Bay Packers. Here’s a first look!

Wide receiver Sammy Watkins, who signed a one-year deal to join Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers, will officially wear No. 11 with his new team.

Watkins previously wore No. 2 at Clemson, No. 14 with the Buffalo Bills and Baltimore Ravens and No. 12 with the Los Angeles Rams. None were available in Green Bay. Kicker Mason Crosby wears No. 2, No. 14 is retired for Hall of Famer Don Huston and a certain four-time NFL MVP quarterback wears No. 12.

No. 11 ended up being the pick for Watkins. Past receivers such as Devin Funchess, Trevor Davis and Jarrett Boykin previously wore No. 11.

Here’s a first look at Watkins in the Packers’ home uniform from our graphics department:

Watkins could play a big part in helping the Packers replace receivers Davante Adams and Marquez Valdes-Scantling in 2022. The fourth overall pick in 2014, Watkins has 34 career touchdown catches in 99 games in the NFL.
