Broncos new uniforms mostly a win
Well, Broncos Country, what do you think?
The wait for new uniforms is officially over. The colors remain largely the same (the navy blue may actually be darker or just look that way) and the logos are untouched. The color combinations will take some time to get used to. Some are much better than others.
Marking the Broncos’ first major uniform change since 1997, the Mile High Collection integrates elements of the Colorado landscape throughout the jerseys, helmets and pants while offering nine primary uniform combinations. The new set features the Broncos’ current logo and colors—Sunset Orange (home), Summit White (away) and Midnight Navy (alternate)—along with metallic satin helmets in navy (home/away) and white (alternate).
The white helmet is a total homerun. First introduced last year with the classic ‘D’ logo, it’s hard to believe that it looks even better with the current horse head logo. The sleeves are thoughtful in integrating the jawline of the horse logo as well as calling back to the sleeve design of the mid-60’s uniforms.
Then there are the triangles and the elevation of the 5280’ to the uniform. It’s going to take a bit to get the fanbase to embrace the triangle-life. Fears of the 5280’ on the pants, jersey, and helmet were misplaced. All elements of the uniform integrate it in solid ways.
Gone on the helmet is the solid orange stripe that diminished as it goes from back to front. In it’s place are more triangles (meh). It’s a cleaner look for the helmet for sure. The 5280’ on the front is a great addition.
Immediately following the release of the new uniforms was the unveiling of the throwback uniforms. As expected, they are as amazing today as they were back in the day. It’s going to be awesome seeing these on the field once again.
The collection also introduces the highly anticipated throwback orange uniform that includes the iconic Legacy Blue ‘D’ helmet, playing tribute to the Orange Crush era and the Broncos’ first Super Bowl appearance in 1977. Including the throwback closet, the Mile High Collection features a total of 10 uniform combinations, four jerseys and three helmets to demonstrate the versatility of the Broncos’ new look.
As someone who remembers when the Denver Broncos played in these every week, it’s a picture like this that reminds you of just how big the pads were back in the day.
So, there you have it, Broncos Country! These are your new uniforms for better or worse. I think the Broncos came out ahead on these. The throwbacks are a huge win and the new uniforms aren’t so bad that I’m throwing things.
Give me any player(s) worthy and I’m buying soooooo many jerseys this week.

‘Thursday Night Football’ vs. Seahawks, Christmas Day vs. Bills highlight Broncos’ standalone matchups in 2026
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — The Broncos are set to take center stage five times in 2026.
Denver is scheduled to play in five standalone games during its 2026 season, three of which will be contested at Empower Field at Mile High.
The Broncos will open their season with a “Monday Night Football” showdown against the AFC West rival Kansas City Chiefs. Last season, Denver swept the Chiefs for the first time since 2014.
This year’s Week 1 matchup will mark the first time since 2022 that Denver will begin its season in prime time. During Head Coach Sean Payton’s tenure, the Broncos have posted a 3-0 record on “Monday Night Football,” including last year’s victory over the Cincinnati Bengals.
The Broncos will then host their first prime-time game of the year, a “Sunday Night Football” matchup with the Los Angeles Rams in Week 3. The Rams posted a 12-5 record in 2025, advancing to the NFC Championship Game.
The Sept. 27 game will mark the Broncos first home “Sunday Night Football” matchup since 2023. Denver is 2-0 in “Sunday Night Football” games under Payton, including a 2025 road victory over the Commanders.
Just three weeks later, Denver will host the reigning Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks on “Thursday Night Football.” The Seahawks will be led by quarterback Sam Darnold and the reigning Offensive Player of the Year, wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba.
Denver is 1-0 on “Thursday Night Football” at home under Payton and 2-2 overall.
The Broncos will then play their second and final standalone road game, traveling to Pittsburgh for a Black Friday matchup with the Steelers. The Steelers won the AFC North in 2025 and advanced to the postseason for the third straight year. This will be Denver’s first-ever game played on Black Friday.
The Broncos’ final scheduled standalone game is set for Christmas Day. Denver will host the Buffalo Bills, setting up a rematch of last year’s Divisional Round game. The Broncos and Bills have faced each other out of the playoffs in the last two seasons, with the teams splitting the pair of games. The last time the teams faced off in the regular season was in 2023, when the Broncos earned a Monday night road victory.
This will mark the second consecutive year that Denver will play on Christmas. The Broncos are 3-2 all time on Christmas Day, including last year’s victory over the Chiefs at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium.
The NFL’s flexible scheduling rules could also lead to the Broncos playing additional prime-time games in 2026. The dates of Denver’s Week 17 and 18 games are also yet to be determined.
