More Giants paraphernalia on the streets lately?

Eric from BBI : Admin : 9/1/2015 3:32 pm
Maybe it's me, but I've seen more Giants paraphernalia on the streets lately than I can remember...people with jerseys, shirts, bumper stickers, tattoos, etc.

Anyone else notice this?
I was thinking that the other day

and I live in Philly. I saw a car with NY giants logo on the window and the same day I saw a guy wearing a Giants hat. I usually wear a Giants hat around, but other than that you're really asking for it in these parts. Even the hat will get comments sometimes.
the reason..........

will pay full price for any NYG related apparel ... its when this overstock gets moved to stores such as TJMAX or MARSHALLS and sold at a deep discount to move leftover quantity ...

once it hits these sorts of outlets, forget about it ... every jackass is buying /wearing it

the reason why people will not pay full price for the apparel ?? look at the on field product the past 3 seasons ...

You have the most appropriate handle name I've ever seen on BBI.
Yes.....

I have noticed guys on crutches and others with leg boots and arms in slings. Waiting to see a bunch of guys on the street corner riding stationery bikes next. Giants paraphernalia if there ever was any!

do you ever get an image of what a poster looks like from the content of his post ? This is what I see when reading FATMAN IN NC posts ...

Partly due to 2 SBs in the last decade
Partly due to always being on Sunday Night Football and getting big ratings

Come on Eric practice is almost over and it's time for some fun before the serious part unfolds.......I'm not going to go into tenure but I've watch the Giants for along time and intend to continue regardless of the result. We need to lighten up around here. Everyone let your hair down a bit.
So when do you...  
Ryan : 9/1/2015 4:08 pm : link
...turn your focus from Fatman back to Mook? Is it on a specific schedule or more dynamic?
Ok...Time To Lighten Up

I've been in Philly 9 years. Not a jersey guy but I have my fair share of tees and winter hats. No one has ever uttered a word to me about it. I understand the whole "your mileage may vary" concept but I find it interesting that your experience has led you to say "you're asking for it" while I've never given a second thought to throwing on a Giants shirt.
While were on the subject..

Anyone know of any stores in NYC that sell authentic (elite) Giants jerseys, specifically white authentic jerseys? Maybe Modells? Don't get to go into the city too often to check out for myself. Thanks

There are a ton...

of transplanted Tri-State area people in the DC/NoVa/Central Va region nowadays. Maybe that's part of the reason.

Just look at how many BBI'ers now live here that came from the Northeast.
