Article on Giants Uniforms and New Facilities

Has GIANTS on the helmet. That's all I ask.

I want to see the early 90s uniforms though. That would be sick.

or even white on white.

have got to be the 80s uni and helmet, me thinks it would sell the most amongst fans. Although I like the 70s gear, personally.

great shot. I would kill to see the old GIANTS helmet with the whites.

.

I'd like to see everything gray changed to white. Would really improve an already good look.

heaven?

All white jerseys for away and the darker blue for helmet and jersey.

Love the new facility!

I agree on making the pants white, home and away.

a total change to white.

a crazy throwback uniform, it won't be the 1980's version.

I never thought the gray made any sense, there's none on the jerseys or the helmets. Can any skilled photoshoppers out there do something to a pic to see what it would look like? Is that even possible?

Gray Pants > White Pants

well honestly the Giants have never had any "crazy" looking uniforms. About the craziest thing they've had in the uniform history would be the horizontal striped socks in the 70's.

Oh snap, bring back the socks!

Gotta look for a picture now.

that could be described as "crazy".

especially this one:

Filthy...yes they have....see link...


The picture of the training facility are great.

we just have different ideas of "crazy."

I can see it being that fucked up 70's uni w/ the blue pants

best I could do in quick time.

UNIFORMS .

which would be about as awesome as you could get.

This isn't crazy to you?

Those look like Montreal Canadiens uniforms.

That's pretty impressive. Thanks.

.

the red and blue leather helmets.

a "crazy throwback", it says "a doozy of a throwback".

Thank God Eddie clarified that. I now have the exact same thought process I did before he clarified it.

"doozy" and "can't describe" = crazy to me

I vote for the Gray pants. They look workmanlike.

if you've noticed, all of the throwbacks on other teams in recent years seem to be the bad ones from the 40's, 50's, or 60's.

has the best shot of the ring of honor that I've seen...

I don't know how anyone ever leaves! I would be in awe the whole time.

like the names are backlit. I wonder why some are in red and others yellow? Aesthetics?

I think it might just be a reflection from the flash, the different angle that the flash hits the letters changes the color of it.

it looks like nearly all are in red except for a couple. Can't think of why that would be.

Do you think they'll ever run them in the new stadium? One of the best afternoons I ever spent was on a tour of the old Yankee Stadium. You paid $20 to go through Monument Park, walk on the warning track around the field to the Yankee dugout, and got to go inside the clubhouse. Amazing.

.

could be but just from the names I can read there, the distinction between Conerly and Anderson on the one hand and Carson, Gifford and Brown on the other is that the latter 3 were drafted and played their whole career with the Giants. Conerly played his whole NFL career here but he was drafted by the Redskins.

did the same at Turner Field on my honeymoon. We had a blast and even ran into John Smoltz when we got lost from our tour group and ended up where we shouldn't be.

is a uni-watch fuck up because it's nfl equipment (rebook) with a big nike logo on it. That's nuts!

The '86 white uni is stunningly beautiful.

look to be a fluorescent red... so the ones closest to the flash are gonna show up as reflective, aka yellow.

of the 86 uni and the modern uni

Why would we ware our away pants with the blue jerseys when we are on the road against Dallas or another team. Why do we even need different pants for the home and away uniforms. I hate those skinny little ADIDAS looking stripes on the pants. We had them from 1958-1961 on both white and blue uniforms then switched to the thick stripes in 1962 that we kept on both uniforms until 2005 when for some reason they decided there should be separate pants for home and away uniforms.

I like the home pants more, but I think it's cool that we're going to have two slightly different looking blue unis for home and away.

As the blue looks purpleish... but I think this idea could be pretty sick..

we want Eli to throw like Peyton, not dress like him. Too Indianapolis Colty.

WHOHOO!!!!!!!!!

I think the red are HOFs.

first sticky!

.

Those look pretty far out to me by current standards (although I think Eric is right in the '30's unis).

for the red jerseys.

an "authentic" (cough, cough) red Strahan jersey a few weeks ago. Strahan will always be a Giant so that won't get old, and now the reds are retired... so i'll be a classic a few years down the road. i still win.

I wonder who puts the NY logo on the trash can? I could do that job. I wonder how much that job pays. If I send a resume to the Giants, do I apply for Locker Room Trash Can Stenciler?

I started out putting the stencil on the locker room trash can. Then I move on to helmets. In another year or two, Tom Coughlin is going to make me an assistant to the Special Teams Coach. That's when the big bucks start rolling in.

the Skibas have a job many of us ingrates would kill for.

25 years after 1986. That could be a hint as to the Throwback. People also use "crazy" to mean good, awesome, etc. sometimes too.

I used the word "crazy" in my OP and people ran with it. As fas as the article, the actual quote was:

Quote:

The Giants will not be wearing any alternates or throwbacks in 2009 or 2010, but they have a doozy of a throwback slated for 2011 — which I can’t describe.

I would tend to believe its not 1986 just because that would be a somewhat expected throwback and most people are familiar with what they look like... but who knows.

only one who thinks the throw it back too far when the NFL uses throwbacks? Are there really that many people around right now who remember, and are nostalgic for, jerseys from the 1930's? Why not utilize jerseys people actually remember? I remember when the Eagles wore those yellow and blue jerseys, most of my friends at school in Philly said they much rather would have seen the early 1990's Green (Randall Cunningham-era).

the fact that the Giants arean't wearing a throwback in 2009 or 2010, but specifically chose 2011 leads me to believe it will be the 1986 throwback, because 2011 will mark the 25th anniversary of the 1986 jersey/Super Bowl.

the bad years than during the good years. (If you can't change the players or the coaches, change the uniforms.)

....looking at that big picture of the locker room, it looks like the names in red are Hall of Famers. In the picture, I can read these names - Mel Hein, Frank Gifford, Harry Carson and Roosevelt Brown in red, and Charley Conerly and Ottis Anderson in yellow. Perhaps that's it?

that flank the entrance to the locker room in the 2:25 PM posted photo?

the locker room in the stadium is now only used on game days?

I love the current road uniforms. Best in football, IMO.. best I've ever seen the Giants wear for sure. I prefer the roadies to the home blue now, which was never the case before. Helmets now are excellent too, especially with the white jersey.

That the throwback is more of the 1980-1999 Jersey....

and NOT the 1930's....specifically...1933...which is more or less the Winged Helmet of the Michigan Wolverines.....just blue and red

and the Jersey that looks like the Montreal Canadiens

this is very welcome news. Now please kill the white/red away jerseys. Go back to the Fassel or earlier ones, just get rid of the pop warner looking crap they wear now.

They'd never go to an even worse design if they're smart. 80's throwbacks are a goldmine in waiting.

I didn't mind the red alt unis and I would fine if we did every throwback uni starting with 1925.

I would like to see the red socks with the blue top on some of those road game that the blue top is required

and would like to see the 1934 uni's as the throwback. I didn't mind the all white uniforms, but gray pants are classic.

And wear the 1986 throwback once a year at home. That's what I would do.

those globes look like hand sanitizers.

I think they are ashtrays! No smoking in the locker room.

This new facility is awesome

Loaded with Purel or some such. Seen em before.

LOL ashtrays...that's a throwback. These guys probably cant smoke due to contract issues. I'm sure any self respecting team would put that in there.
