Seahawks and Broncos set for rare uniform matchup on Thursday night: This almost never happens in NFL

The NFL will witness a rare and visually striking matchup this Thursday night when the Denver Broncos host the Seattle Seahawks in a Week 6 clash. Both teams will forgo their traditional white jerseys, instead donning colored throwback uniforms that haven’t been seen on the field together since the Color Rush era ended in 2018.

The Broncos will sport their iconic Orange Crush throwbacks, a look they’ve worn six times since reintroducing them in 2024, boasting a perfect 5-0 record in those games. Meanwhile, the Seahawks will return to their 1990s-inspired royal blue jerseys with silver helmets, a uniform they wore in three regular-season games during their Super Bowl-winning 2025 campaign.

This will mark only the fourth color-on-color game since 2021 where neither team is participating in the Color Rush initiative, making it a standout event for fans of classic NFL aesthetics. The Seahawks will also wear these throwbacks in Week 7 against the Kansas City Chiefs, though that game will feature the usual white-jersey contrast, ensuring Thursday’s matchup remains the only true color-on-color showdown of the season so far.
