t’s the Broncos’ jersey that almost never was.
Now 29 years later it will finally get its chance to play a part in one of the most-anticipated regular-season matches in Broncos’ history.
Next Friday the Broncos will run out in a previously-unseen 2016 Heritage jersey, a strip that almost became the jumper everyone remembers.
This design was one of two finalists for the original Broncos jersey back in 1987.
It eventually lost the decision to the original strip Wally Lewis wore to captain the Broncos in their debut in March 1988, a stunning shellacking of then-reigning premiers Manly.
But on Good Friday 2016, Corey Parker will lead the current Broncos out onto Suncorp Stadium in the strip that could have started the iconic history of the club.
In keeping with the heritage design, the 2016 Heritage retail jersey will have three-quarter sleeves.
The old-style collar that everyone appreciated in the 2015 Heritage jersey also makes a return for this year’s edition.
