Badge of Honor

The Denver Broncos are your Super Bowl 50 Champions, having defeated the Carolina Panthers in a defensive slugfest. One thing you may have noticed, if you watched the game, is that the traditional Super Bowl logo patch on every jersey was a bit shinier than in past years.

The patches are made by a process called ChromaFlex by FiberLok, a manufacturer in Colorado. They were actually used last year as well, although they seemed more noticible to me this year with the gold.

These patches were also featured on the World Series jerseys and caps last year.

Sigh. That would have looked so good on us.
