ENGLEWOOD, Colo. — The Denver Broncos on Monday unveiled new uniforms—the Mile High Collection—featuring a bold and modern design inspired by the franchise’s proud tradition, the Rocky Mountain Region and all of Broncos Country.
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 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.
“This has been a thoughtful, collaborative journey that’s involved us listening to voices throughout all of Broncos Country to design the Mile High Collection, our modern and inspirational new uniforms for the Denver Broncos,” President Damani Leech said. “We’re grateful for the engagement and creativity of ownership, the players, our business and football leadership, Nike and especially the best fans in the NFL during this process.

“As we honor the championship tradition of the Broncos, we’re also committed to innovation and growth during such a transformative time in franchise history. Our new uniforms—the Mile High Collection—boldly integrate elements of our past, present and future while paying tribute to Colorado and the Rocky Mountain Region we proudly call home.”
More than 10,000 fans provided survey feedback to help shape the Broncos’ new look as part of a process that began more than two years ago. In April 2023, Owner Carrie Walton Penner led a Broncos contingent that included Leech and Chief Marketing Officer Hailey Sullivan on a visit to Nike Headquarters in Beaverton, Ore., to connect with designers on the look and direction of the uniforms.
Broncos Owner and CEO Greg Penner, the team’s football leadership and several players provided feedback throughout the various stages of uniform design from concept to completion.
The Mile High Collection represents the sixth primary uniform closet in the Broncos’ 65-year history. It marks the Broncos’ first primary uniform change in 27 years (1997) when the team also introduced the current masthead logo as part of a complete rebranding.
Beginning today and throughout the season, uniform-inspired merchandise and assortments from the Mile High Collection will be available from Broncos retail partners. In addition to the Broncos Team Store at Empower Field at Mile High, fans can also purchase the Mile High Collection at Fanatics.com.
To celebrate the unveiling of the Mile High Collection, the Broncos will host a launch party from 6-8 p.m. on Monday at their team store at Empower Field at Mile High. The event will include Broncos alumni, Denver Broncos Cheerleaders, Miles the Mascot, Stampede, DJ Squizzy and more.

PRIMARY CLOSET
A collective tribute to Broncos Country, the Broncos’ primary closet is emblazoned with unique aspects of Colorado’s landscape throughout the fabric and new navy metallic satin helmets. It includes elements of the Rocky Mountain Region and Mile High City intertwined in the design of the helmets, jerseys and interchangeable pants.
The jerseys are developed on Nike’s Vapor F.U.S.E. Chassis, an innovative and sustainable performance fabric.
Helmets: The primary closet features two new helmets: a navy metallic satin finish (navy facemask) that pairs with both home & away jerseys and a white metallic satin finish (white facemask) to pair with the alternate jersey. An orange stripe of triangle clusters symbolizing Denver’s peak in elevation is featured from the base of the helmets to the middle of the crown.
The front helmet bumpers display an orange “5280” to mark Denver’s mile-high elevation and altitude advantage.
Jersey colors: Maintaining the same primary colors of the Broncos’ brand identity, the home jerseys will be Sunset Orange, away jerseys will be Summit White and alternate jerseys will be Midnight Navy.
Sleeve: Echoing the pant stripe, the sleeve caps show a mountain peak created from the linework within the Broncos’ primary masthead logo. The under sleeve includes three perforated triangles that recognize the thinning air at high elevation and need for increased oxygen. They also pay tribute to the iconic summit markers atop Colorado peaks.
Nameplate: The font featured on the back nameplates is a nod to national parks signage located around Colorado. The rounded interior corners are a simplified look from the previous font.
Numbers: Taking design cues from the previous uniform, the new look will take on a more classic block-style numbering.
Neck tag: The outer neck tag is now a triangle label inspired by the iconography of summit markers found throughout the Rocky Mountain Region. The inner neck tag has “Broncos Country” emblazoned across the back along with “5280” embroidered vertically to represent the Broncos’ passionate fanbase and mile-high elevation.
Pants: The pants, which come in all three colors and are interchangeable with the primary jerseys, feature two contrasting stripes going down the side that vary based on pant color. The contrasting stripes merge a jagged mountain incline with a standard pant stripe visual, representing a mountain peak.
“5280” sits centered vertically on the stripe to mark Denver’s mile-high elevation and altitude advantage.
THROWBACK CLOSET
Honoring the Orange Crush era and the 1977 season when the Broncos made their first Super Bowl appearance, the throwback closet features the iconic Legacy Blue ‘D’ helmet and orange uniforms adapted to Nike’s current chassis with peak performance fabric.
Helmet: The Legacy Blue shell pairs with a white facemask and vertical orange stripe. The fan-favorite and iconic Denver ‘D’ logo originally introduced in 1968 will return to the Broncos’ uniform closet rotation for the first time on a Legacy Blue helmet since 1996.
Jersey: The classic orange jersey features oversized white numbers with Legacy Blue trim on the front, back and top of the shoulders. A sleeve stripe sits at the shoulder mirroring the Legacy Blue trim from the numbers.
Pants: The white pants include an orange and Legacy Blue stripe down the length of the pants.
Socks: The socks include orange and Legacy Blue bands that align with the stripes of the jerseys and pants.
