Why the Broncos are wearing orange jerseys on the road vs. Bucs

Playing in Florida’s heat, the Bucs have opted to wear white jerseys in Week 3, which forces the Broncos to wear their orange jerseys.

The Denver Broncos will wear orange jerseys and white pants when they go on the road to face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 3 of the 2024 NFL season, the team announced Sunday morning.

The Broncos are wearing orange on the road because the Bucs have opted to wear their white jerseys for the Sept. 22 showdown, forcing Denver to wear its “home” jersey in the Florida heat (the Broncos tried a similar strategy against the Pittsburgh Steelers last week without much success).

This will mark the debut of Denver’s new orange jersey.

The Broncos previously announced their jersey color for all 17 games this season, but players pick the color of their pants each week.

The Broncos’ home games this fall will feature white (once), blue (once), throwback (twice) and orange (four times) jerseys. On the road, Denver will wear white jerseys against everyone except the Bucs.

The team’s throwback look will make its debut when the Broncos host the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 5.
