Though they were part of the uniform change in 1997 (in fact, they were worn for a couple of 1997 preseason games) and most players wanted to wear them, the only player who vetoed wearing them was <a href="/wiki/John_Elway" title="John Elway">John Elway</a>, thereby delaying their eventual introduction.<a href="#cite_note-2003Uniforms-197">[196]</a> From 2003 to 2011, these pants were primarily used for select prime-time and late-season home games (excluding the <a href="/wiki/2008_NFL_season" title="2008 NFL season">2008</a> season), and since <a href="/wiki/2012_NFL_season" title="2012 NFL season">2012</a>, are used exclusively with the now-alternate navy blue jerseys — see next section. On November 16, 2003, the Broncos wore their white jerseys at home for the first time since <a href="/wiki/1983_NFL_season" title="1983 NFL season">1983</a>, in a game vs. the <a href="/wiki/San_Diego_Chargers" title="San Diego Chargers">San Diego Chargers</a>.

The uniform kit contained the following features: orange pants, which the team wore for the first time since 1979, orange socks and shoes, along with block-style numerals trimmed in navy blue that mirrored the team's 1968–1996 uniform style.
