The Bronco jersey design has changed a lot recently. The team jerseys
changed from the traditional design which was primarily orange, to a
dark blue with orange highlight design in 1997. The 1995 uniforms were
designed by the Wilson company. Nike provided the uniforms for 1996
including a swoosh logo on the sleeve. The team's jersey underwent the
most radical design change under Nike's supervision in 1997 where the
helmets changed to include the "cyberhorse" logo.
In December 2000 the NFL signed a deal with Reebok, making them the
offical supplier for jerseys for the next ten yearts. Reebok's design
made some small changes to the Nike design, primarily changing the
swoosh on the sleeve to a Reebok logo.
Nike's Football Creative Product Designer is Craig Buglass who was an
award winning menswear MA student at the Royal College of Art, London.
I was not able to determine if he still works at Nike, or how to
further contact him. The current designer of the uniforms, even though
no major changes have occurred, works at Reebok and I could track down
no further information about him or her if a person even exists in
that position.
