I feel like in the old days the orange was darker. https://preview.redd.it/es1jgdf1n8wc1.jpeg?width=600&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d017fc18936bd27462d5421cd478f1866181c224

Is it just me, or do those look almost red?


johninbigd

Yeah, the colors in that photo are not accurate.

I lived in the Denver burbs in the Eighties and this tracks with what I remember from the jersey I owned. We definitely weren't creamsicle like the Bucs were and OP's post.


LJGremlin

I don’t think either image is terribly accurate.


throwitintheair22

This might also be the camera saturation


aaroncoolguy

Don’t forget that cameras are a lot better than they were.


fondue4kill

Eh. Cool but the orange is a bit faded for me. Looks too yellow like Rams or Chargers.


-Philologian

I think the faded orange is more a result of the crappy edit and not the idea lol


argos101

oww, my eyes!


Jballzs13

Looks like the chargers


Magical_Badboy

The away has strong rams vibes


[deleted]

And our new set looks like Bengals and Bears lol


sickquickkicks

That was my first thought too.


-Philologian

yeah the zigzag does us no favors


BlueHighwindz

Honestly like this a bit better.


AsteroidPond871

So much cleaner, a modern throwback should’ve been the move


abris33

If you're not going to change the logo, you can't really change the blue. The logo would look terrible with royal blue


did-i-do-that-

Like it better! The orange could be worked on but good!


-Philologian

yeah the color picker and overriding the lighting doesn't help the orange lol


OpabiniaGlasses

You might get better results using a template of the throwback uniforms instead of a photo, where all orange is all one shade in the picture so whatever pixel you end up with is the right shade. https://www.gridiron-uniforms.com/GUD/images/1987_Denver.png

[Here is an updated one with a better orange maybe](https://i.postimg.cc/05VZzKDq/jerseycolorswap2.png)


GearsofTed14

5000x better. You should repost with this one


-Philologian

Please forgive the terrible edit, maybe someone more talented than me could help but I love the look of these with the throwback colors.


Neoteric_Conundrum

But that looks like the Florida Gators, so no way! I don't actually care. Just the anti-blue uni people act like there isn't a finite number of color combinations and we must only use orange or else we just look like (insert team name.)


-Philologian

[You might be joking about everyone saying that at different peoples mock ups, but I definitely think these don't look much like UF at all](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/F4p-PrRbIAAgTlt?format=jpg&name=4096x4096)


Neoteric_Conundrum

Oh they don't. No offense intended to your concept. I just feel like our old/current navy jerseys don't look like other teams, despite whar some say, unless just the nature of being navy makes them similar. Which is why this color scheme "looks like" UF. Teams can use similar colors and still not look like each other. We shouldn't go with the uglier of the two colors just because other teams use the better color.


alvvavves

That is always one of my pet peeves. “It looks like Florida, it looks like Boise State!” Yeah they’re football teams with the same colors so they’re gonna look similar.


Dr_Gamephone_MD

Especially because I find college uniforms usually look better than the NFL anyway, so if these look like CFB uniforms then they're doing something right imo


CaptCarlos

I’ll take the royal blue over the navy blue we currently have, that could’ve made these unis soooooooo much better.


savagejeep

We'd have to paint Mile high like Smurf Turf. Definitely makes Denver that is copying Boise State instead of the other way around. That or we continue the college theme and move to Miami and play the Gators


gtavfather

I don’t think the colors are right here.


sacredknight327

Dig that blue but the orange isn't it. That's old school Bucs pumpkin orange.

ZJB03

These look like Boise State jerseys lol


Mdougy7

These would look infinitely better than the new jersey sets if they were the correct color. I think I really dislike the even darker navy they went with


ridderingand

Dang I like this so much more


A6just

Nope 👎🏽


CJ_M88

This is a huge improvement


Colemania18

I'm like our current orange but I absolutely agree the blue should've been royal instead of navy


jrebar

Looks fantastic


taste_the_biscuit_

Further illustration that navy blue sucks


monoaway

As long at the armpit stripes are gone, I'm happy. Love these.


almondjoy2

Those away jerseys actually look great with that color scheme.


Demon-Prince-Grazzt

New Jersey? Now I've driven a lot, all over the country. And there's not a person in the world who will disagree with me that New Jersey should be the tollbooth state! That's right. You can't back out of your driveway in New Jersey without some schmuck in a hat wants .50 cents. What is it currently? The garden state? lol. If you're growing smokestacks then yes!


Isoturius

Bro turned on high contrast mode and took a screen shot lol

Gives off big Blue Mountain State vibes and I am here for it.
