The Denver Broncos announced on Thursday they will wear their new “Snowcapped” white alternate helmets twice this season, including Oct. 8 against the New York Jets and Dec. 24 against the New England Patriots.
The white helmet – which features a white facemask, navy blue/orange/navy blue stripe down the center and the Broncos’ throwback logo in modern colors on both sides – will be paired with their all-orange Color Rush uniforms.
Denver previously swapped the modern decals and stripes on its navy blue helmet with the classic stripes and logo to complete the Color Rush uniform, which has been worn just once each season since it was introduced in 2016.
This marks the first white helmet in franchise history, as Denver has only worn brown (1960-61), orange (1962-66), academy blue (1967-78), royal blue (1979-96) and navy blue (1997-present) helmets in the past.
Additionally, it leaves one game in which the Broncos can wear their blue alternate jersey in 2023, as NFL rules limit teams to three games in an alternate, Color Rush and/or throwback uniform each season.
