One of the greatest Easter eggs from Broncos history is a helmet design that lasted just five games before being left behind for a color change. Photos of the existence of the Broncos' short-lived blue logo helmets from 1962 are extremely difficult to find, but a local Broncos fan/historian has uncovered rare photographs from that very brief period.
The story of the blue logo
As Jim Saccomano, our residential team historian of sorts, has mentioned in previous columns, the Broncos left behind their not-so-popular brown-and-yellow uniforms with those unique vertical-striped socks in 1962. Prior to the beginning of the season that year, the team announced a change in color scheme to orange, blue and white, complete with a new Broncos logo to go on each side of the helmets.
