===2003/04β2017/18: Powder blue, navy blue and gold=== For the [[2003β04 NBA season|2003β04 season]], the Nuggets made another uniform change, coinciding with [[Carmelo Anthony]]'s debut, with a color scheme of powder blue, gold (yellow) and royal blue. The primary logo, featuring a snow-capped mountain, curved ribbon with a "Denver" wordmark and an enlarged western-style "Nuggets" workmark ''(see previous section)'', was modified, with the mountain royal blue, the ribbon powder blue and the "Nuggets" wordmark a golden yellow. Like the 1990s uniforms, the Nuggets' revised jerseys also had the "Aachen" typeface across the chestβit was "Nuggets" in powder blue, with royal blue and gold trim on the home white jersey, while the powder blue road jerseys had "Denver" in white, with gold and royal blue trim. These jerseys, along with the team logo, were tweaked prior to the [[2008β09 NBA season|2008β09 season]], with the royal blue replaced by the shade of navy blue that was part of the team's color scheme from 1993 to 2003. These jerseys were used until the [[2014β15 NBA season|2014β15 season]], while the snow-capped mountain logo would serve as the team's primary logo until the [[2017β18 NBA season|2017β18 season]]. <!-- Deleted image removed: [[File:Denver-nuggets-2015-17-home-jersey.jpg|thumb|166x166px|The home jersey from 2003-2018]] --> In the [[2005β06 NBA season|2005β06 season]], the Nuggets also introduced an alternate logo, as well as an alternate navy blue uniform. The alternate logo featured twin intersecting gold pick-axes in a powder blue circle, with a half-white/half-yellow "mountain peaks" at the top of the circle and a basketball with gold outlining and navy blue accents at the bottom of the circle. The navy blue jersey featured an alternate "Nuggets" script in gold, with navy blue interior trim and powder blue outlining. This uniform was used until the end of the [[2011β12 NBA season|2011β12 season]], while the circular "pick axe" logo would become the team's new primary logo for the [[2018β19 NBA season|2018β19 season]]. While the "pick axe" logo was officially introduced in 2005, former NBA director of creative services Tom O'Grady had planned on introducing the logo as early as 1998, but then-NBA commissioner [[David Stern]] was not informed of the possible logo change. As a result, the logo was shelved until it was brought in as an alternate seven years later.<ref>{{cite web|title=LOGOMAN BLOG #7 β NUGGETS OF WISDOM.

Navy blue numerals trimmed in gold, as well as navy blue nameplates, were featured on both the home and away jerseys. The alternate gold "skyline" jerseys were also tweaked, with a retro "Nuggets" wordmark (that was used on the 1980s rainbow skyline jerseys) in navy blue trimmed in white. The numerals were also modified with the Coliseum typeface, but remained white, with powder blue interior trim and navy blue exterior outlining.<ref>{{cite news|last=Lukas|first=Paul|title=Uni changes coming to numerous teams in 2015β16|url=https://www.espn.com/nba/story/_/id/12880062/uni-changes-coming-numerous-teams-2015-16|publisher=[[ESPN]]|date=May 13, 2015|access-date=May 13, 2015|archive-date=May 15, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150515143914/http://espn.go.com/nba/story/_/id/12880062/uni-changes-coming-numerous-teams-2015-16|url-status=live}}</ref> The Nuggets updated their uniforms for the 2017β18 season. The light uniform (dubbed by [[Nike, Inc.|Nike]] as the "Association" jersey), the dark uniform (dubbed by Nike as the "Icon" jersey) and the alternate uniform (dubbed by Nike as the "Statement" jersey) saw the return of navy blue as a primary color for the first time since the 2002β03 season, while powder blue was drastically diminished and relegated to trim color status. Slight tweaks were made to the striping and lettering.<ref>{{cite news|last=Dempsey|first=Christopher|title=A New Era of Nuggets Basketball Gets a Fresh New Look|url=https://www.nba.com/nuggets/news/new-era-fresh-new-look|publisher=NBA Media Ventures, LLC|website=NBA.com|date=August 8, 2017|access-date=June 11, 2018|archive-date=June 12, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180612161622/https://www.nba.com/nuggets/news/new-era-fresh-new-look|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|last=Kosmider|first=Nick|title=Nuggets begin golden anniversary celebration by unveiling new uniforms|url=http://www.denverpost.com/2017/08/08/denver-nuggets-new-uniform-2017/|newspaper=[[The Denver Post]]|date=August 8, 2017|access-date=August 8, 2017|archive-date=August 9, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170809035533/http://www.denverpost.com/2017/08/08/denver-nuggets-new-uniform-2017/|url-status=live}}</ref> The Nuggets' gold "Statement" jersey made some noticeable alterations as well, relegating the navy, powder blue and white rainbow to the sides and relocating the number to the bottom. [[Western Union]] became the team's jersey sponsor.
