Despite being officially unveiled on Monday and Tuesday, former NFL wide receiver Antonio Brown’s social media network, CTESPN, leaked the new uniforms of the Denver Broncos and Houston Texans on late Thursday night.
For those questioning Brown’s reporting abilities given his controversial exit from the league and off-field controversies, he has indeed scooped a number of big free agent signings this offseason. Now, he is following in our footsteps by sharing screenshots from digital retail catalogs of the new Broncos and Texans uniforms, which multiple sources have confirmed are legitimate. However, we must note that the sleeves shown in the player cut are different from the retail ones.
The Broncos jerseys, said to also come in blue with a retro uniform to accompany, feature a mountainous design on the sleeves and triangles on the sides – similar to the circles on Oregon’s uniforms. These are taken from topographic maps using triangles to represent peaks, of which 58 in Colorado have heights exceeding 14,000 feet. They also appear as perforation holes in the numbers, a modified version of their current font.
Meanwhile, the Texans‘ white away jerseys match what we’ve already seen from Chairman Cal McNair, with a horn-themed design on the sleeves and a new custom number font. The red alternate jersey follows the same design. The blue home jerseys, on the other hand, feature Houston’s primary logo on the sleeves for a more traditional look, while the Color Rush set includes blue H-Town accents, a primary logo on the sleeves, and a new „H“ logo under the back collar.
This new logo will be seen on the sides of the Texans‘ new alternate helmets, which were leaked on Thursday. Houston also subtly confirmed its legitimacy by sharing a photo of McNair with his dog, both sporting accessories with the new logo.
