I think it looks great. An homage to the great teams of the 80's and 90's. I also really like the uniform number on the mannequin. If Gifford ever played during those decades.
I was expecting / fearing some God awful red and blue set of pajamas.
To bring back a Super Bowl winning uniform is great. I actually like this away uniform better than the current red and gray. To see Eli, Beckham, JPP, Cruz etc. in this uniform will be great.
When they offer the special jerseys, I don't think that have the option for a customized version (name and number). They only offer a few versions of franchise players - expect Eli and OBJ.
We know Joe Skiba is on the site from time to time and I've seen hundreds of posts clamoring for the all white uniforms to make a comeback. It's certainly not what Nike had in mind I'm sure.

Yeah I was going to say.. is it really totally far fetched to think BBI had some influence on these? A lot of us have been clamoring for the old "GIANTS" helmets and 80's/90's throwbacks for years now...
I think the white looks great - so much better than some of the other nasty color rush uniforms and I can't wait for the retro helmets. I like the "GIANTS" logo better than the "NY" logo.
Were going to have an element of our 50s "New York Football Giants" logo. These look like the current Bills Away uniforms. They couldn't have done this sooner? This is a throwback 80's away jersey, not a color rush jersey. They should make the helmet the official week to week helmet. How about the 80's home throwbacks? Been dying to see Eli in one of those once in his career. Final word, I like the jersey but don't love it. If I knew we were doing an 80s throwback wish it would have been the home jersey.
Look at these and then just laugh at how bad some of the others are
The generational aspect of the helmet is interesting. Growing up with the "NY" helmet, I never cared for the "Giants" helmet, but I can see where those who grew up with the "Giants" helmet are fans of it. Enjoy.
Wow, this must be really hard for you. I'm sure if you wrote a letter to the NFL, they'd be happy to stop making alternate jerseys and merchandise to sell to fans who clearly want it.
For those that opt to buy the merchandise, be sure to up-size. Nike has made their sizing to fit that segment of the population who choose to wear a man-bun and no muscle mass on their body frame. If you normally wear a Large, then buy an XL.

OF COURSE I LOVE the uniform but its a THROWBACK not a COLOR RUSH?
COLOR RUSH should have been BIG BLUE!
In physics, a color is visible light with a specific wavelength. Black and white are not colors because they do not have specific wavelengths. Instead, white light contains all wavelengths of visible light. Black, on the other hand, is the absence of visible light.
who likes the "NY" on the helmet better than "GIANTS" and thinks the 80s uniforms - notwithstanding the fantastic memories the team created while wearing them - are overrated?
I like the current, older logo, the current color scheme better than the 80s/90s version. That said, I also think that the current uniform is somewhat drab and needs to be updated.
*Hides from rotten vegetables*
I love the NY on the helmet much more than 'Giants'
But lets be real, the 80's unis have a lot of emotional attachment to so many. It's a shame we havent seen them in so long. I'd love to see this once a year.
I'm buying one, no doubt about it. These should be our permanent road uniforms, IMO. Love the "GIANTS" on the helmet, too. That's the helmet I grew up with. What a great day.
Much Better than some of the other pictures posted

Because white is a color?

Outstanding job Mr. Joe Skiba!!! Classy look!
of course, they've scrapped those blue unis some time ago, just brought back a fond memory of the good old days

Wish we'd switch to that permanently.
