When the NFL calendar hits Week 6 this year, a Throwback Thursday showdown unfolds in Denver as the Seahawks face the Broncos. This game, scheduled for October 15, will feature an unusual sight in the NFL: both teams donning colored jerseys.

Traditionally, at least one team wears white, but not in this matchup. The Broncos will sport their iconic throwback Orange Crush uniforms, which have proven successful since their introduction in 2024, boasting a perfect 5-0 record when worn. Meanwhile, the Seahawks will showcase a royal blue uniform paired with a silver helmet, harkening back to the 1990s. These jerseys made appearances during their Super Bowl-winning season in 2025 and will debut in 2026 in this thrilling contest.

Key highlights of the game include:

• Seahawks wearing throwbacks in back-to-back games, with another matchup against the Chiefs in Week 7.
• This game marks only the fourth color vs. color matchup since the 2021 season, breaking a trend where teams typically wear white.
• The last color vs. color game occurred in Week 15 of last season, featuring the Falcons and Buccaneers.

This matchup is particularly special as it revives a historical rivalry; from 1977 to 2001, the Seahawks and Broncos shared the same division. The color vs. color game will be a nostalgic reminder of their competitive past, making it a must-watch event for fans.
