1972 Denver Broncos Cold-Weather Hand Pouches

LOOKING BACK—UNIFORMS
By John Turney

Late in 1972, the Denver Broncos had orange cold weather hand pouches sewn on their home uniforms. Oddly, they were a different shade of orange from the jerseys which were more of a red-orange. 

Now, this is not a criticism, we are not going after the equipment manager, to the contrary, we think it's kind of cool. It is a reflection of a more fun, simpler, less corporate time in the NFL.

Here are a few shots of the pockets, enjoy:

We love things like this whether it is uniform jersey color or facemasks oddities.
