For the second day in a row, former NFL wide receiver Antonio Brown’s social media network, CTESPN, has leaked part of the Denver Broncos’ new uniforms.
This time, it’s the helmet, which features the same triangles – which represent mountains on a topographical map – as the jerseys on a truncated stripe along the back.
Multiple sources have indicated the design itself is an accurate depiction of what the Broncos will unveil as their primary helmet on Monday, along with a matching white alternate and royal blue throwback design.
However, the helmet in the photo is not an authentic or replica helmet. Note the spray paint and the application of the decals, which would typically have a clear vinyl around the edges of the logo.
That’s because the photo features one of the oversized helmets that will be on display at next week’s NFL Draft in Detroit, just like they have been for the last several years for attendees to take photos with.
The ridges on the helmet in the photo also show it’s a Riddell Speed, a model that is no longer recommended by the NFL and worn by less than 1 percent of the league but is still used for the aforementioned displays.
