Vote your favorite Bronco on the 50th Anniversary Team


The 2009 NFL season marks the 50th anniversary of the Denver Broncos. To commemorate the past while embracing the future, the franchise is recognizing its community of fans who have been an integral part of Broncos Country during the first 50 seasons.

As a part of the celebration, fans have the opportunity to select their choice for the All-Time Denver Broncos Team through an online voting tool. Voting began June 6, and can be completed by clicking here. Voting concludes Sept. 4.

When fans log on to vote, they will be met with an introductory video before being able to select their team position by position. The interactive voting tool features the Broncos' history and highlights spanning the past 50 seasons through the use of video and additional multimedia. Each player is represented by their respective biography, statistics and photographs. Fans register their team choice through the online tool and become part of shaping the 50th Anniversary Team.

The players receiving the most fan votes will comprise the 50th Anniversary Team. The resulting team will be honored in person during halftime when the New England Patriots visit INVESCO Field at Mile High on Oct. 11. That game has been designated the Legacy Game, when each team will don their AFL uniforms -- the Broncos will sport their yellow and brown original 1960 uniform. In addition, one lucky voter will have the opportunity to join the 50th Anniversary Team during the halftime ceremony.
