Seeking photo assist - 1962-'64 Broncos

[EndzoneSports]

After tapping numerous sources (Denver Broncos, Pro Football HOF, Denver Post, etc) and still coming up empty, I'm looking to my fellow uniform nuts for some assistance. Despite a significant media reference collection at my disposal, I cannot locate a single color photo depicting a 1962-'64 era Denver Broncos player in action wearing their white road uniforms. I've found b&w photos of this jersey...

...as well as color photos in their orange home jerseys, but not a single color photo of the road jerseys. I need one clear color photo to confirm the sleeve striping color/pattern for this jersey style.

I'm hoping that someone may have access to a color photo with their AFL-era home team playing the Broncos. If so, thanks in advance for your assistance.

Best regards,

Here's the best I could do. No idea if it's even the right year, but it's listed under Frank Tripucka.

I know it doesn't help, since it's so far away and bled out, but maybe you can click on other names from that era at the site below to see if the right image comes up

Eric:

Thanks, however, the posted photo depicts is the uniform style from 1960-'61--the original gold-brown unis w/ vertically striped socks--specifically from the Nov 6.1960 game @ Houston.

We are looking for a clear color photo of the 1962-'64 style road jersey with the triple sleeve stripes on the white jersey which is depicted in the link provided in my initial post...

Sorry about that first pic, I thought the Broncos were the team in white...

Eric,

Nice shot of the Broncos in their cheesy yellow and brown uniforms. OK, I must confess, I actually liked those yellow jerseys with brown numbers!

As for the team in the blue helmets, that is the Houston Oilers. The Oilers sported red numbers on their white jerseys in the early years of the AFL. Their white jerseys were almost identical to the Dallas Texans/Kansas City Chiefs white jerseys during that era with the most noticeable difference being that the Oilers had a small blue neck trim that usually was lost from view in the top of the shoulder pads. Neither team had stripes on their white jerseys at that time although the Oilers did have stripes on their blue jerseys (white numbers and stripes).

Interesting to note that the Texans moved to Kansas City after the 1962 season in which they won the AFL crown. They defeated the Oilers for the 1962 championship on Tommy Booker's 25-yard field goal in the second overtime period despite Abner Haynes' infamous flub at the coin toss to start the sudden-death action. The Chiefs wore white jerseys that day as the visiting team at Jeppesen Stadium in Houston.
