From the Broncos website in an interview with the equipment manager:

Brian Kelley; Cocoa Beach, Fla.
Will the Broncos be wearing their orange jerseys this year, and if so what are the chances of them wearing the old school helmet with them?

Chris Valenti
Actually, we won’t be wearing our orange jerseys this year, not the current version or the throwback. In years past, the NFL has allowed the four teams playing on Thanksgiving Day to wear the throwback uniforms which include the old school helmet, as we did last time we played in Dallas on Thanksgiving. But they changed their mind this year and all four teams are wearing their current uniforms.

Thats stupid, I liked seeing the old ones, New Englands were the best in my opinion. Followed by the Broncs.

watch viewership drop. the only reason people watch ****ty teams that nobody in the majority of the U.S. cares about like Detroit/Denver/Dallas on Thanksgiving is to see the sweet old uni's anyways.

I'll just go play turkey bowl in my throwback HS uniform.
