Giants alternate uniform

NYFG 23 : 10/9/2014 11:19 am
If the Giants HAD to wear an alternate uniform once a year, what would you want the jersey to be? Would you want them to go back the Red jerseys?



The 80's jerseys?


A blue on blue sort of thing?


gray on gray?


Or would you choose from much older jerseys?


Remember that there is a new rule that says if you wear an alternate uniform, you have to use the regular helmet.

you need to go with only two primary colors

With the Eli red throwbacks in the OP, you have three primary colors; Blue helmets, red jersey and gray pants. Compare that to the LT 80's uniform which are blue and white.
A while back UniWatch theorized that the Giants would look better

if they took the red elements of the away jersey and made them blue. I concur.

I agree, because you'll end up with two primary colors and not three.

And I agree - it's a much better look.

But....

I think, and have always thought, that the 80s/90s uniforms are nothing special, and I actually like the red alternate unis. And, I'd much rather the '34 unis as a throwback than 80s/90s.
No love for these beauties?

Too similar to Dallas for my taste. Which is probably why they did red anyway.
Love these away unis.....

I love any uniform better

if it had a Super Bowl trophy attached to it.
The problem

with our away uniforms now, is that the most signature thing on them is the Red Stripes on the sleeves, and most players barely even have sleeves anymore. So they look cool on like a fan wearing a jersey, but the actual players? Just a lot of bunched together red under the shoulder pads.

If I had to see an alternate, I'd love to see the White away jerseys from the Parcells era. I'm not much on throwbacks from the '20's of '30's, which no one alive remembers anyway. I like the '71 jerseys posted, but if we're talking one game a year, I'd definitely go with the Parcells-era jerseys, preferably the whites.

Minus the dated helmet logo, those are actually pretty nice. I'd hate blue pants with a blue jersey, but blue pants with a white jersey looks pretty good there.
Ive been saying for years, since they got the red jerseys,

that I'd like to see grey jerseys, it was cool to see that Wilson jersey, I don't follow that stuff so I had no idea it was out there.

For awhile I didn't like the idea of the 86 era throwback, not really sure why, maybe bc the blue on the helmet doesn't quite match the blue on the uni's, much like Minnesota for a long stretch. But I've warmed to the idea in recent years and was disappointed when they canned that idea.
RE: Is this based on the news that Nike might force alts on teams for TNF?

If so, you gotta realize there's no way Nike would go the old school/throwback route. They're highly more likely to be Oregon-ish. Face it.


If a team really doesn't like one of these modern but Any Given Sunday ugly uniforms,especially a traditional team like the Giants, who basically wear throwbacks every week, can it be forced on them?
No

the NFL and the teams retain all control over uniform design. I suppose it's possible that the league could choose to relinquish that control, but that would be their decision to do so
