Giants uniform: gray vs. white pants

Josh in the City : 8/22/2011 12:07 pm
I know this is kind of random but I've been thinking about it for a while. Does anyone else truly dislike the gray pants as part of the Giants uniform? To me, it ruins the whole look. I think the jerseys and helmet are great but the pants just look awful. Why not go back to the white pants which looked much better? Am I alone in this sentiment?



Gray is better.

I don't care if they wear their pajamas out there as long as they win.
While it pains me greatly to agree

I dislike the gray pants. Go with white or some type of silver pants.

And don't bring back those 80's jersey's.
It's amazing to me

how so many care about the freaking color of their pants. It's fucking football, whatever shows more blood works.
I like the gray pants...  
okiegiant : 8/22/2011 12:14 pm : link
What I'd really like is for them to go back to the Giants logo on the helmet. If they do this then they'd have to go back to the white pants.
i prefer the whites

what do you think of these for the aways?



I like the grey better than white, always have.

Gray fits the old (current) unis. White better fit the 80's jerseys.

gray fit the current uni's better than white? The jersey has white in it which would make the white pants go very well.

I would love it if the Giants went back to the Mid to late 80's jerseys and pants!

gray is okay, but white is better.
I prefer gray.

White's not bad. If I elaborate any more, I'll have to hand in my man card and I worked so hard to get it back.
Blue pants with the away uni's would be awesome.  
arcarsenal : 8/22/2011 12:31 pm : link


And I agree, white would look much better with the home uni's. Not a fan of the dead grey.
Don't like the Gray  
Nomad Crow on the Madison : 8/22/2011 12:32 pm : link
I would go with white.
How bout' these monstrosities?

White pants would really mess up the road uniforms.

Giants uniform, but gray vs. white pants does not make much of a difference to me. You can barely tell that they are gray and they match the face mask. What annoys me is these new jerseys with the stretchy material and no red triangle behind the NFL Shield. I also don't like the skinny striped pants, I can now live with it for the white jerseys, but there was no reason to add it to the blues. Also the new stretchy pants that we ware that makes the striping on some pants look much larger is a problem. Really what I don't like is changes and inconsistency, from 1980-1999 the uniform was pretty much exactly the same, but since 2000 it feels like there is a change every year or two.
Not possible for me to care less about their pants.  
Giants11737 : 8/22/2011 12:52 pm : link
Helmets are another issue. I'm very very glad they replaced the "Giants" title with "NY" logo back in 2000.
Come on, the 1980s jerseys are classic  
dpinzow : 8/22/2011 12:53 pm : link
The Giants better wear the 80's home uniform for one home game this year...as a throwback to 1986 (25 years since the first SB win)

Unfortunately, according to the Giants, there won't be an alternate uniform until they switch to Nike uniforms (from Reebok) next season.
I wouldn't mind if they darkened up the blue like the

jerseys in the 80's, but keep the gray pants.
Motley, I like that idea as well. Just a we bit darker.  
Andy in Halifax : 8/22/2011 1:12 pm : link
I'd also probably prefer white pants and change the red on the away jersey to blue and we're all set.

I would prefer white, especially with the blue home jerseys

but I prefer the white pants over the gray. Let Dallas wear gray/silver. The Giants are red, white and blue.
Dont exactly care  
AnotherGiantsFan : 8/22/2011 2:45 pm : link
but i'd definitely pick the white over the grey. I also like Blue Ballers picture with the blue pants for the away.
Switch to the white pants

Not a fair comparison of photos  
SMitch2 : 8/22/2011 3:53 pm : link
When you show the grey pants with white tops vs. traditional white pants with blue tops. The home blues always look better than away white tops.

You need to show the old white & white road uni's when comparing them to the modern road uni's.

I like the modern grey and white road uni's much better than the old style, although the modern homes are slightly worse than the old ones. I do miss the darker blue that we used to have.
