The Denver Broncos players will wear new uniforms this year.

The team posted on X, "New threads soon," hinting that the new uniforms are coming.  

However, don't expect big changes says CBS Colorado Sports anchor Romi Bean.

The blue and orange colors aren't going anywhere, and the logo will stay the same, Bean says.

And when asked when we might see the "new threads," Bean bets as soon as the draft.

The Broncos have undergone several changes over the franchise's history, which spans over half a century. In the early 1960s, the team donned yellow jerseys and brown pants.

By 1962, it adopted the bright orange jerseys it's now known for. In 1968 -- and for about 30 years -- the team changed its helmet to include a big "D" as part of its logo and the secondary color on jerseys to incorporate more dark blue.

In 1997, the team saw a radical change, modernizing the design and having the home team jersey be primarily dark blue with orange accents.

Then in 2012, while the design didn't change, those colors were inverted to feature a primarily orange top with dark blue as a secondary color.

And that's the uniform the team has been outfitted with for home games ever since. Until this year, at least.

In an interview with Andrew Mason of DenverSports.com, Broncos President Damani Leech says the team's logo and colors won't change but will undergo a "full redesign of the uniform," but the team is "wanting to evolve and be new and different while also being respectful of our history and traditions."
