The white pants are a significant improvement

Josh in the City : 9/28/2015 11:55 am
I know I'm not the only one who thinks that the entire New York Giants uniform looks much sleeker with the white pants. To me, the grey pants are simply ugly and ruin what is otherwise a very classy design. I know it won't happen this season but I'd really like to see the white pants become our standard uniform design in the future.

The white pants look good with the 80s/90s uniforms. I like the gray better with these jersey's they've been wearing for awhile now.


You've got to be kidding me.

You think that this:


looks better than this?!

I actually think the white pants with the white jersey would look fantastic. I'd love to see that combo for a road game.
Love the white

the grey looks a little too low-grade.

I like the Red alternates, hate the white pants with blue and prefer grey and also can't stand the 70/80/90s uni's as i think they look just like the Bills.

I like the unis the way they are.

Give us a real throwback uniform already. Numerous others teams have done it over the years.
Our current uniforms are essentially throwback designs.

I don't get the obsession with this. Alternate jerseys, throwbacks, etc. are nothing more than a money grab. If they want to change their uniforms, great. If not, just wear the same home and road uniforms all season long, as far as I'm concerned.

I agree with all points also - except they could make a better throwback jersey - those all red ones don't do it for me.
Bring back the 80' Jerseys  
Giants2012 : 9/28/2015 12:30 pm : link
and keep the helmet the same is my wish

Bring back the 80's end zones too.
gray pants are 1000x better  
YorkAveGiant : 9/28/2015 12:38 pm : link
and nothing is worse than the 80s white on white away look. ive been wearing a throwback Simms for 30 years. so yeah, when it wasnt a throwback i wore it...but keep the new look.
I dig the grey pants  
Chef : 9/28/2015 12:43 pm : link
I also read that Mara is not particularly fond of the 80's Uniforms with GIANTS on the helment. I read that GIANTS were forced on them when they moved to New Jersey and that as soon as that expired they went back to the NY logo.
NY helmet is  
Josh in the City : 9/28/2015 12:44 pm : link
much better than the GIANTS helmet. White pants are also a significant improvement over grey pants for both home and away jerseys.
I love the uniforms the way they are  
Rjanyg : 9/28/2015 12:47 pm : link
and yet I don't mind the white pants, could keep the white pants with the blue jersey for home games. Gray pants for road games with white jerseys and blue at Dallas and any time we wear the blue jersey on the road.

I would still love to see the 80's home uniform at least once a year.
Forget the Uni's  
Carl in CT : 9/28/2015 12:47 pm : link
Give me the damn player in the all whites!
Great to see so many like the gray pants.  
Dave in Hoboken : 9/28/2015 12:50 pm : link
Well done, gentlemen.

And we get that the current uniform is a throwback. But most just want to see the 80s/90s uni's back even if it's just once a season. The GIANTS helmets are awesome, too.
bring back this  
timintey : 9/28/2015 12:58 pm : link
These will always be my favorite Giants uniforms

Personally I like the grey pants much better. Big fan of the current uniform.
I like the grey pants and red jerseys.  
truebluelarry : 9/28/2015 1:26 pm : link
But if you are looking for accurate representation of the Giants uniform history for throwback options, I must direct you to the GUD.

It is 99.99% better than any other resource out there (the linked photo above is a perfect example of commonly accepted inaccuracies like blue jerseys from 1934.)

for throwback games. The equipment teams have to alter the logos on the existing helmets.
The current helmet is perfect

I'm surprised that more people

aren't fans of the early 00s away jerseys. I much prefer those to the current away uni's.
I like the current unis, but..  
LakeGeorgeGiant : 9/28/2015 3:08 pm : link
I think I'm liking the white pants more.

I'd like to see the whites for our primary for both home and away.

Keep the NY helmets, but switch the away jerseys to blue lettering.
For me there's no comparison. White looks great.

Grey doesn't.

I agree. This is what I change may Madden franchise to.
I love all the pre-1980s jerseys  
RasputinPrime : 9/28/2015 6:06 pm : link
I also miss oversized shoulder pads.
The whites should be permanent for the blue jerseys.  
arcarsenal : 9/28/2015 6:26 pm : link
The grey is ok for the road jerseys.

I like the current helmets but I really miss the "GIANTS" version from the 80's/90's.
I don't have strong feelings about the pants.  
81_Great_Dane : 9/29/2015 4:09 pm : link
I like the current uni much better than the '80s uni. Love the NY logo. Didn't care for the "Giants" on the helmet.

For a throwback, I'd like to see the 1934 style, blue with a stripe down the arm -- sort of a rugby shirt look. I think part of the point of the throwback is to sell some merchandise, and I could see myself buying one of those.

Personally

I like the current uniforms much better than the 80s version. I also don't mind the grey pants. The white pants looked better with the blue jersey, but I really don't give a crap if they don't switch to them.

As for using the 80s uniforms, we can't get a real 80s helmet because of the color difference. We would only be able to put the "GIANTS" decal on the existing helmet, which might look like crap with the darker jersey.

The 1934 Giants jersey was read. This one was worn by Butch Gibson:


As I stated above, visit the Gridiron Uniform Database for the most accurate history of the Giants (and all teams) uniform history.

That should be RED

White = Right

I've said for awhile that I'd like to see all grey uniforms.  
j_rud : 9/29/2015 7:10 pm : link
It's really the onlymalternate option. A grey jersey with numbers/stitching to match the stripes on the pants might look good.
Is that 1934 jersey  
Matt M. : 9/29/2015 9:40 pm : link

All jerseys were that style through the mid 1960's.
