    These videos are so important and interesting. I didn't know or realize that Denver had such humble beginnings. But they did and they fought through them and they became a really historic franchise! The AFL was not as "BIG" or as well known or respected as the NFL and from all accounts not many thought or believed it would survive let alone compete. But again it did. Since then the league has evolved, grew, gotten even bigger and more popular than ever. Some people say NOT for the better however. Whatever you think or believe, these early days made more of an impact on what is now the NFL than most fans know or realize, myself included. This video not only showed how this smaller and "cheaper" team fought and scraped it's way to prominence and respect, but also the entire AFL itself and THOSE ARE HISTORICAL PARTS OF THE NFL THAT FANS NEED TO SEE AND LEARN ABOUT! Not just this billion dollar empire that we see now. Fans need to see and learn how much other teams fought and struggled to stay afloat, and many did not! Some teams didn't make it. Some went under, some were moved to a "more lucrative" or popular location, and like today that was usually due to one thing, 💰💵MONEY💵💰!! Now I was born in the north central part of the US. Wisconsin to be exact, and my team, the Green Bay Packers have had a historical influence in the NFL. Not a big conglomerate, or in a town with a giant population. But they had one thing, LOYALTY AND LOVE for their TEAM and their CITY! In a Sport where 💰💵money💵💰 controls everything, smaller teams, less expensive or less financially secure teams had to push harder, fight harder, and be much more tenacious than the more lucrative and rich teams. See I am a DIE-HARD Packers fan, 1,000%, but I am also a fan of the sport of 🏈🏉Football🏉🏈. So I truly love to learn about it's history, it's past, it's beginnings, issues and problems, and how they solved them. Learning about the teams and how they became what we see now. I was lucky, because my team, the Packers had their own Hall of Fame, and it was such a incredible experience to visit it. It was unique in that few teams had their OWN Hall of Fame. Back in the mid 70's my Grandparents would take me on vacation. Usually between mid-July and late-August. It would either be a 3 day or a week long trip. Or 2 or 3 different trips, but the one constant was, we'd ALWAYS visit the Packers Hall of Fame and sometimes Lambeau Field as well. They had some legendary jerseys, helmets, 🏈🏉footballs🏉🏈 , as well as a really cool place to buy memorabilia, but the one part I really loved? Was the small or 🎥📽mini-theater🎥📽. Here they'd show some classic games, highlights, and mini-movies made by 🎞🎥NFL 🎞FILMS🎥 🎞. They had the legendary 🥶🌡ICE🥶BOWL🌡🥶 with the ⭐🤠Dallas⭐Cowboys🤠⭐ as well as Super🏈 Bowl I & II, as well as some previous championship years. My point is it was such a unique and really fun place for a young child to spend some quality time with his family at. It wasn't just fun, it was also informative, interesting, and it gave you a history lesson, albeit a history lesson about football, it showed you how interesting the past could be. Those years were some of the most amazing, enjoyable, entertaining, fun, unique, beautiful, special, and memorable experiences of my life. Learning that there was and is SO MUCH MORE to learn about Professional Football than just 🏃running🏃‍♂️, passing, tackling, and kicking. I also learned that so many teams have a really tough history, and had hard and difficult times and challenges that they faced and fought. I still have my "rivalries", and teams that we have historically been at odds with, disliked, even hated, but I learned that many teams/franchises deserve respect for what they've accomplished. For instance, the Chicago Bears are the Packers rival, as are the Minnesota Vikings. We boo each other, scream 😱 at them, but I still have a respect for what they had/have accomplished. Players like Gayle Sayers, Walter Payton, Mike Singletary, etc are all phenomenal and unbelievably talented players. Being able to learn their historical significance and what they accomplished when they played was incredible. However watching what Walter Payton did to my team during his prime was painful, so painful! I'd love to see a complete history on each NFL team and to finish or end it with a complete history of both the AFL & the NFL, the teams past and present.

      That is a very heartfelt comment and I understand your feelings but the AFL survived because of one thing only - their TV deals with ABC and NBC. AFL teams got more money pro rata from TV than the NFL teams and that enabled them to offer comparable or higher wages to the best college players so they could compete. Eventually the signing wars got so out of hand the NFL had to offer a merger, but it was all because of those TV deals.

      They initially after disposing of the brown& mustard-ish yellow/gold went for Cleveland orange because 1962-64 HEAD COACH JACK FAULKNER grew up a CLEVELAND BROWNS fan. But, his uniform order came in with a U. OF Tennessee bright orange instead, all shipped by mistake, of course. The orange helmets had on their sides the brown bucking Bronco horse with a star in its eye= cartoonish logo for the first six games, but the logo was changed to a white horse thereafter. There was a dark blue trim on the pants stripe and on the white jersey the numbers were dark blue. The next year or so, the team decided to play up the orange and went to a reddish orange with wider and taller dark royal blue sleeve squarish stripes containing the number of the jersey, and they changed the helmets to reddish orange in 1963, too. They stayed with that reddish orange until 1978 when the dye became scarce and harder to match for the fans' souvenir gear, and the team's uniform, alike, forcing Denver to go to a brighter, not Tennessee bright, but brighter standard orange, the primary color they wear today. Also for a couple of seasons in '78-80, DENVER went back to their 1968-71 ORANGE road PANTS, although, in '68-71 they wore reddish orange road pants.(In 1967, they wore white pants only with a royal blue helmet containing no logo.) In 1968, with LOU SABAN as the new head coach, DENVER brought out that "D" LOGO with the snorting white horse inside. In '78 thru '80, they wore the brighter orange that matched their jersies. After 1980, Denver went to strictly white pants in '81 when DAN REEVES arrived as head coach, until the dark blue monochromes came in an earlier decade of this century. Of course, the dark blue primary jersies began in 1997 and are now the alternate jersey. The original orange alternates that began in the earlier 21st century decade, are now the primary jersey. The special colorfast jersies monochrome and styled in the 1967-1996 jersies except for dark blue helmets and jersey and pants.. trim, subbed for the royal blue worn from '67 thru '96. Hope that clears that up. There will be a test in three weeks. I am selling crib notes for $75.00 a word in the back of my quanset hut. Ok, don't be hasty..its a special.

      Not sure I believe Elway wouldn't have made a great baseball player. I heard he had a tryout with the Kansas City Royals. The player that played third base at the time basically said that he hoped Elway would play football instead because if he didn't he might find himself out of a job. That third baseman was hall of famer George Brett.
