1962 Denver Broncos

In addition to wearing a helmet with a white version of the team's logo on the left side of his helmet and a blue version on the right side in their preseason game against San Diego, Wahoo McDaniel (#54) also wore the same helmet logo combination one week earlier in a preseason game against Houston played in Atlanta.

Additionally, the Broncos' preseason socks, which were thought to have 2 orange stripes, actually had 3 orange stripes. In most cases, the lowest stripe was covered by the white sannies.
