Thursday night’s game in Denver could be one of the best NFL uniform matchups of the season. When the Broncos host the Seahawks in Week 6, both teams will wear colored jerseys, meaning neither will wear white, a rare sight in the league.
Fans watching an NFL game will typically see at least one team, often the visiting team, wearing white. Thursday’s contest in Denver will go against the grain and with a colorful twist.

Denver will wear its Orange Crush throwbacks, marking the sixth time the Broncos have worn the uniforms since returning in 2024. The retro look has quickly become a fan favorite, and Denver is 5-0 wearing the throwbacks.

On the other side, Seattle will don a royal blue uniform and silver helmet, nods to the 1990s. The Seahawks wore this look in three regular season games last season, leading up to their run to the franchise’s second Super Bowl title.

The Seahawks’ royal blue throwbacks are set to make back-to-back appearances, with the defending champions set to wear them again in Week 7 against the Kansas City Chiefs. However, this matchup will not produce another color versus color matchup, as Kansas City is expected to wear white.
The league adopted color-on-color jersey matchups during the 2015-18 Color Rush era, but Thursday’s Broncos-Seahawks game will be just the fourth such matchup since 2021 in which neither team will wear a Color Rush uniform.
The last time two teams played each other wearing colored jerseys was in Week 15 of the 2025 season, when the Falcons wore black and the Buccaneers wore their Creamsicle uniforms.
