The Broncos have been known
for their orange uniforms. The orange crush defense. John
Elway marching the Broncos down the field in "The Drive".
When you think of some of the greatest Broncos memories, chances are
most of them will involve Broncos orange.
There are many teams with blue uniforms, and as a result the Broncos
have lost part of their identity -- a big part of what made the Broncos
unique. A part of that Mile High Magic that included a
sea of orange.
Today, coach McDaniels said it was Pat Bowlen's decision, but McDaniels
gave his
endorsement to change back to the orange jerseys:
“I love the orange jerseys. I know we’re only allowed to wear them twice
in the regular season and once in the preseason, unless we make them our
standard uniform.”
“I wouldn’t mind it at all. I think we get excited, and the whole
thing, everything, from when you walk in the locker room and have all
the orange jerseys, it looks different. It wouldn’t bother me at all.”
Andrew Mason of
MaxDenver.com points out that 40% of the NFL teams wear blue
uniforms and nearly one third of the teams wear navy uniforms like the
Broncos. The Broncos have lost their unique identity.
It's time to bring back the Broncos orange.
This is the reason for BringBackBroncosOrange.com. We
are collecting names in the form of a
petition to send to
Mr. Bowlen and
the Broncos management. The information collected will ONLY be
sent to the Broncos management along with a letter stating that the
people that have electronically signed the petition want the Broncos to
change back to orange as their primary uniform color. To recapture the
magic of the Orange Crush and The Drive and so many
other great Broncos "orange" moments.
BringBackBroncosOrange.com is a collaboration of a number of Broncos fan
sites. As the administrator of BroncosForums.com I created the
site and am able to host it on the BroncosForums server, but that is a
small part of the overall picture. Getting the word out, which is
the most critical part of making this petition successful has been done
by members of BroncosForums, the Orange Mane, Broncos Country, Mile High
Report, BroncoTalk and Broncos Zone. This petition could not be
possible without a coordinated effort by the ENTIRE Broncos online
community.
Please review the privacy statement and FAQ. Your name and email
address will NOT be used for any marketing or mass email. They will not
be sold. The ONLY way it will be used is to send a message to the
Broncos management.
Please click on the "Sign Petition" link above and add your name to the
