    Denver Broncos

    ...I liked their old uniforms better than the 'modern' version. The orange jersey's and white pants with the blue & orange stripe were way better looking IMO. I also liked their old helmet logo.

    My first Indy 500 was 1973, haven't missed one since 1981. To date I have attended 35 Indy 500's, and probably 100 or so other IndyCar races (CART & IRL).

    Yeah, but how many Superbowls did they lose in those things?

    Agreed. Bring back the orange crush!

    An even worse change was the Seahawks. That head-to-toe prison grey is just awful

    Grey???? That's close to navy blue, to my eyes.

    Seattle's old uniforms were soft and out-of-style. They actually look like a modern football team in their current uniforms.

    Granted it's a cool grey, but it's mostly devoid of color

    Our local HS has modeled their uniforms after the current Bronco uniforms. Looks ridiculous IMO.

    I like the new ones, mostly because we won our two Super Bowls in them. Not such a big fan of the blue on blue, however. I would like to see them bring back the reverse uniforms sometime, where jersey is orange with a blue stripe running down the side.

    Agreed - and I think that is a problem with the Seahawks too - head to toe of the same color, neither of which is very eye catching. When the Broncos wear the orange - as did The Bears this weekend - they look sharp. Still not as good as the lighter blue and the Big D uniforms, but much better than head-to-toe dark blue.
