DENVER -- The Broncos jerseys were everywhere Monday afternoon.

Of course, I expected nothing less. This is Denver, site of countless Mile High miracles. The first guy I saw was sporting an old-school Elway jersey, all worn and frayed in its glorious used-to-be sunset orange glory. A nice blast from the past.

Standing right behind him was someone in a Terrell Davis jersey holding an "I need tickets" sign. Three folks were walking past him, up the sidewalk, sporting Ed McCaffery, Al Wilson and Shannon Sharpe digs. Odd, isn't it? Then Karl Mecklenburg, Tom Jackson and Bill Romanowski. Romanowski?

Being completely unscientific here, I'd say that there were three ex-Broncos jerseys for every two current Broncos jerseys in and around Invesco Field at Mile High. Maybe the fans are just stuck in the past. Maybe they just miss the days when Denver was actually a place that was practically impossible for visiting teams to win. It sure seemed as though that mystique was gone last year, when the Broncos were only 4-4 at home. And it definitely seemed like it on Oct. 7, when the struggling Chargers strolled in and slapped the home team 41-3.

Heh. That's funny.

I'll head over to the Mange tonight and post a poll. To be fair and scientific, I'll also post a similar poll here.

The one thing we'll have to think about is usage. Probably many of us have DT jerseys, just like many of them have Elway jerseys. The key is the proportion of past to current players, and which are worn at games.

I don't know about Invesco Field, but I do know that the wearers of Elway to current player jerseys at my local grocery store on game days is easily 5:1. And that's not even counting the reeruns.

My wife owns a Kelly Herndon jersey. Do past players still count when hardly anyone actually owns their jersey?

They're probably reversable jersies
they're all Michael Vicks on the inside

there are no more mr ed dealerships - they fired him this year. He hasn't owned them for a while - he was just the spokesman for the last several years.

I have a stitched authentic NFL Montana #16 jersey. I've worn it four times in ten years. I'd like to get it autographed by the man himself and then frame it. It's never been washed only dry cleaned.

After severing the tip of index finger with a tablesaw and nearly repeating the act on my thumb with a band saw, my loving son got me a DeBerg Jerzy to wear.

You are the man!

If I was going to wear an old school player's jersey, it would be a tossup between Dawson and Taylor...

I own an Elway jersey from the 75th anniversary season (old uniforms). I didn't buy it though, it was a gift... I don't really care to pay big bucks for jerseys, especially in the era that sees players leave teams so frequently.I buy Broncos hats or sweatshirts, but nothing player specific... if I were to buy one now, it would be an Atwater, Sharpe, Smith or Ed jersey. I just don't like spending the big $ on jerseys, especially since I don't wear them out and about... just on game day.Elway is one of those players that simply doesn't come around too often in this league. I'm sure 10 years from now, you'll still see Gonzo jerseys at Arrowhead.

Hell, you still see idiots wearing Grbac jerseys at Arrowhead.

In somewhat related news, I ran across an article yesterday that said that Favre jerseys are now the best-selling jerseys in NFL history.
