Broncos President Teases Potential New Helmet Designs Coming in 2023

What would a new Denver Broncos helmet design look like?

The last time the Denver Broncos truly updated their uniform/helmet combination was 1997. The Broncos dispensed with the old D logo on the helmet, and bright orange jerseys for the uniform combination fans have come to know and love since. 

However, according to team president Damani Leech, while overhauling the unforms/jerseys would take more time, the Broncos could capitalize on the opportunity to roll out a new helmet design for a couple of games this coming season. 

“It’s something we’re definitely exploring,’’ Leech said Tuesday via 9NEWS' Mike Klis. “And we do have the possibility of doing it this year, and we’re exploring that as well.”

For what it's worth, the last time the Broncos did a full uniform overhaul, they went on to win the Super Bowl that year. So, there is an auspicious precedent for Leech and company to attack this endeavor with a sense of urgency.

As part of the NFL's 'Color Rush' program, the Broncos tried to bridge the old D helmet design with the newer uniform motifs. Fans mostly love the Broncos' Color Rush helmet design, which hearkens back to the vintage D, but what could an alternative look like? 

Fan-made helmet and uniform designs are ubiquitous on social media, but if a potential new concept could be rolled out and utilized in 2023 — even for just a couple games — it could end up looking a lot closer to the ones Broncos Country has created over the years. After all, the Broncos will base their decision, in part, on the surveys the team is conducting with different fan groups. 

Since the Broncos are running surveys with fans on this subject, one would assume that the team already has a few designs in mind that it's seeking feedback on. Maybe these designs could look something like the ones below.

Watching all these new teams drop new uniforms is frustrating because @Broncos are the only team that’s NOT dropping new uniforms. We just want these 🙄#BroncosCountry #Broncos @HamlerMileHigh pic.twitter.com/p2dbZDsogT
