The logo was designed by Edwin Guy Taylor of Denver. A contest was held through Public Service of Denver to come up with a new logo for the team. Taylor's submission was selected late in 1967 and adopted the next season. The team briefly wore orange pants with the away jerseys between 1969 and 1971 and 1978β1979.]] When the Broncos debuted in {{nfly|1960}}, their original uniforms were said to have drawn as much attention as their play on the field. They featured white and mustard yellow jerseys, contrasting brown helmets, brown pants, and vertically striped socks. Two years later, the team unveiled a new logo featuring a bucking horse and changed their team colors to orange, royal blue and white. The {{nfly|1962}} uniform consisted of white pants, orange helmets, and either orange or white jerseys.<ref>{{cite news|last=Saccomano|first=Jim|title=Sacco Sez: How the orange and blue began|url=https://www.denverbroncos.com/news/sacco-sez-how-the-orange-and-blue-began|publisher=NFL Enterprises, LLC|website=DenverBroncos.com|date=August 7, 2022|access-date=May 14, 2024}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|last=Saccomano|first=Jim|title=Legend and Legacy: Orange's origin|url=https://www.denverbroncos.com/news/legend-and-legacy-orange-s-origin-14944477|website=DenverBroncos.com|publisher=NFL Enterprises|date=February 20, 2015|access-date=March 17, 2020|archive-date=July 30, 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200730022148/https://www.denverbroncos.com/news/legend-and-legacy-orange-s-origin-14944477|url-status=live}}</ref> In {{nfly|1968}}, the Broncos debuted a design that became known as "Orange Crush". Their logo was redesigned so that the horse was coming out of a "D". Additionally, the helmets were changed to royal blue, and the sleeves had thin stripes with other minor modifications added. From 1969 to 1971, and again from 1978 to 1979, the team wore orange pants with their white jerseys.<ref name="Endzone">{{cite web |url=http://www.uniwatchblog.com/white-at-home-in-the-nfl/ |title=White at Home in the NFL β Uni Watch |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100425040815/http://www.uniwatchblog.com/white-at-home-in-the-nfl/ |archive-date=April 25, 2010 }}</ref> In 1975, the face masks were changed to white from grey. The Broncos wore their white jerseys at home throughout the {{nfly|1971}} season, as well as for {{nfly|1980}} home games against the [[San Diego Chargers]] and [[Dallas Cowboys]], the latter in hopes to bring out the "blue jersey jinx" which has followed the Cowboys for decades.
