Denver Broncos

Colts? Already taken. Mustangs? No. Stallions? No. Pink Prancing Ponies? No. Broncos? Sure, what the hell.

Older helmets

The 1962-5 Denver Broncos helmet features the worst design in professional sports history. "Gyuk, gyuk, hey kids," says the crazy horse, "Let's quit horsing around to play some football, gyuk." When I got the 25 cent supermarket gumball machine helmet, I thought it was a cruel joke. No way would someone approve this artwork for an NFL team, I thought. They added a blue stripe to the helmet in 66. Yeah, that should do it, eh? I originally hated the replacement of the 96 helmet, but I've grown to like it very much.

Founded in 1960 in the AFL.
