Some like it, some don’t. Some love it.
For the beginning of Draft Week, there sure was a lot of Non-Draft Talk from Broncos Country on Monday.
That’s because new uniforms were revealed – including a kickass throwback – followed by news that Zach Wilson is indeed coming to Denver (despite all my histrionics a month ago over the rumor).
Who can think about the Draft when you’ve got opinions on those blockbusters to dole out?
Wilson in Orange and Blue too
Zach Wilson – of the younger, blonder, MILF hunter variety – will be a Bronco next year.
As much as I don’t love the idea, it’s not a bad move by the Broncos…as long as it is NOT Plan A for quarterback.
I mean, I barely care at this point.
Unless the Broncos don’t draft a QB this week.
Then I’ll be despondent

The Wilson’s worked quick after the #Jets trade.
Zach Wilson’s mom had new #Broncos flags flying outside the house + balloons + Zach’s dad already had the Denver jersey on to celebrate.
Zach’s #NFL career gets a second chance.

Broncos reveal new uniforms to mixed reactions
Just before breaking news of a new quarterback, Broncos revealed the much-anticipated uniform changes. After a few leaked images over the weekend, the actual uniform is far better than predicted.
It’s nothing special in my opinion, but it’s fine.
“Fine” seems to describe most of the reactions.
I look forward to learning to love them. https://t.co/48jbkwWH7S

Of course, some fans (or former players, even) actually seem to like them. A lot.
The more I look at the new uniforms the more I think they actually hit it out of the park! How could you compare them side by side and not think they look better?
Well done @dleech9 pic.twitter.com/WmIarzPWNq

The Broncos new uniforms are horrendous
that is all

“And dissipating triangle perforations in front and back numbers nod to thinning air at higher elevations.”
This is the third interpretation of triangles on the Broncos uniforms that I’m aware of. A nod to Doritos chips would have been so much cooler. Just saying. pic.twitter.com/F416UGlFzp

Orange Crush Throwback is a kickass update
But one thing on Monday was a resounding success.
From the Broncos’ reveal video featuring Pat Surtain stepping back into the 70s and meeting Randy Gradishar to the throwback features of the era on every promo, the tribute to the 1977 Denver Broncos is divine.
“Bringing back the classic uniforms celebrating the 1977 team and the Orange Crush defense is just a great honor to us who played during that era,” Gradishar told DenverBroncos.com on Monday. “That was an exciting time for the state of Colorado as we put the Broncos on the map. Hopefully, we can renew that kind of history and make our way back to the Super Bowl.”

With the old-school D on the helmet and the oversized white numbers outlined in blue on the orange jersey, this combo is magical.

A player from another era was quite fond of them.

Even an opponent loved them.
Glorious.
