Twitter reacts to Broncos’ amazing throwback uniform

They are simply beautiful.

The Denver Broncos are wearing their 1977-inspired throwback uniforms for the first time on Sunday against the Las Vegas Raiders. It is by far the team’s most popular look, with many fans calling for the Broncos to make it their primary uniform.

Denver’s players seem to agree with that sentiment, including star cornerback Pat Surtain.

“It sucks that we can only wear them twice this year,” Surtain said last week. “I wish we could wear it more times.”

Surtain is not alone.

“I think it’s the coolest uniform we have, so I’m hoping we can wear it more often,” wide receiver Devaughn Vele said. “I like those colors.”

Added tight end Adam Trautman: “Maybe it’ll become the primary at some point. Who knows? That’d be nice.”

Here’s a sampling of how fans and pundits reacted to the uniform on Twitter/X.

 

The Broncos unveiled a completely new uniform set earlier this year. Unfortunately, team president Damani Leech said making the throwback look the team’s primary uniform was not seriously considered.

If fans, players and pundits continue to push for Denver to adopt the throwback uniform as their primary look, perhaps the Broncos will consider making the switch down the road. After making changes this year, Denver would have to wait until 2029 before making any more changes to the primary uniform.
