McDaniels would support switch to orange
By Lindsay Jones

There’s something about orange.

The Broncos have played their best two homes while wearing those alternate orange jerseys, including yesterday’s 49-29 win against the Kansas City Chiefs.

“I love the orange jerseys,” coach Josh McDaniels said. “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.”

So, that begs the question: Why not make the orange jerseys the standard home attire? Why not ditch the navy blues?

“That decision to make them our permanent uniform would come from Pat,” McDaniels said, referring to team owner Pat Bowlen.

McDaniels said he would be in favor of the switch, should Bowlen and Co. be inclined to make a move. I think many fans would agree.

“I wouldn’t mind it at all,” McDaniels said. “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.”

Your turn, Broncos fans: Would you like to see the team wear orange all the time at home?

i seriously wish they'd make this happen. . . nothing against the blue jerseys, but the broncos belong in orange-- you don't hear about the Blue Crush. . . orange is part of our identity-- i think of old clips from mile high, the elway days that defined the franchise, and i remember orange in the stands. . .

I love the orange jerseys. I would love for them to be the standard home jersey. Orange is synonomous with the Denver Broncos.

Count me in as being in the pro-Orange camp. Seeing McDaniels say this actually makes me like him a litte more, however slightly.

Odd that the alternate orange jersies were death under Shanahan. I loved the look though. If they have the opposite effect under McDaniels, that's great. I think any time a team seeks a new image, it should consider new/alternate uniforms. The best way to say "we're not last year's Broncos" is to wear different jersies.

I hate to say it but I liked the yellow throwbacks they wore last season. I like the orange too but prefer the blue jerseys when they wear the blue pants.

Yeah, orange! I like Blue too but we could have those as our alternates twice a year.

I hope they do it!

I love the orange, when I have a choice of what color to pick for a player I always pick the orange. So went over to the blog and voted yes.

I'm in favor of All Navy Blue with the navy blue socks for the home games...they look like they are ready to kick azz in them. The orange ones are fine the way they are twice a year. Plus i would also like to see them use the throwbacks a couple of times a year.

Teams can only have ONE alternate uniform and throwbacks count as alternates.

The Broncos can't have the orange jersey AND a throwback.

Well, this would be the third.

The first was Plummer with wearing the #40 sticker for Tillman. I was in contact with the PR guy at the NFL, sending it to him, and ESPN actually emailed me and asked me if I wanted to do an on air (outside the lines) interview. I was about 95% sure I didn't want to, and that same day Plummer and the NFL reached agreement on a compromise.

I also did one at Mtnman's request for the In Com Plete chant. Other than getting the attention of a couple reporters who were emailed about the petition, that wound up being unnecessary, since there was enough of a general uproar that Roach reversed directions pretty quick on getting rid of the chant.

It's only been up this evening, but word is slowly getting out. 160 signatures and growing.

Let's spread the word to friends and fellow fans.

This picture doesn't totally tell the picture, because there were some orange people up front, but when they got us together for a picture in London, most people were wearing mostly blue, with just orange trim.

It would have been so much cooler if we were all in Orange.
