After banishing them deep inside their closet the past four years, the Broncos are dusting off their alternative home jerseys.
Broncos players will be wearing orange jerseys for home games Sept. 21 against New Orleans and Dec. 7 against Kansas City.
"I know some of our players are excited about wearing the orange jersey," said Joe Ellis, the Broncos' chief operating officer. "We think the fans will be excited to see it a couple times as well."
The Broncos last dressed in alternative orange jerseys on a snowy Sunday night, Nov. 28, 2004. The Broncos blew an 11-point, fourth-quarter lead in losing to Oakland, 25-24.
Not surprisingly, the all- orange look drew a scornful eye from Broncos coach Mike Shanahan. But as a compromise to a projected boost in merchandise sales, the Broncos are giving the orange jerseys another chance.

I like the orange jerseys. Glad to see them back for two games this year.
