Article on Giants Uniforms and New Facilities

DigitaLx2001 : 7/17/2009 1:30 pm

Really neat article with pictures and such of the new facilities, as well as a discussion about uniforms, from a tour with equipment manager Joe Skiba.

Noteworthy (maybe already common knowledge to some of you?):

- When we are away and wearing blue (like vs Dallas) we will wear the away pants with it
- No red uni's this year; no alternate jersey in 2009 or '10
- In 2011 we will have some crazy throwback jersey yet to be revealed

I hope "crazy throwback"

armstead98 : 7/17/2009 1:31 pm : link

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

I like the ny logo on the helmets

robbieballs2003 : 7/17/2009 1:32 pm : link

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

Yes, please.

GiantFilthy : 7/17/2009 1:33 pm : link

this would be cool

robbieballs2003 : 7/17/2009 1:34 pm : link

or even white on white.

Let's go back...

Go Terps : 7/17/2009 1:36 pm : link

the '11 throwbacks

JonC : 7/17/2009 1:36 pm : link

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.

Terps,

GiantFilthy : 7/17/2009 1:37 pm : link

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

86 road whites are my fav

Umenyiora72 : 7/17/2009 1:42 pm : link

On the current uniform,

Go Terps : 7/17/2009 1:45 pm : link

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

is that training facility

RodneyHamp : 7/17/2009 1:45 pm : link

heaven?

I like the 86 look as well

whispa : 7/17/2009 1:48 pm : link

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

Love the new facility!

Terps

Danny Kanell : 7/17/2009 1:50 pm : link

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

The road uniform would particularly benefit from

Go Terps : 7/17/2009 1:54 pm : link

a total change to white.

If it's...

Eric from BBI : Admin : 7/17/2009 1:55 pm : link

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

Yep

Danny Kanell : 7/17/2009 1:57 pm : link

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?

I gotta go with

Gray Pants > White Pants

Eric,

GiantFilthy : 7/17/2009 1:59 pm : link

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.

the 70s uni is the only one I can think of

JonC : 7/17/2009 2:00 pm : link

that could be described as "crazy".

some of those pics from the training facility rock

BH28 : 7/17/2009 2:00 pm : link

especially this one:

Eric from BBI : Admin : 7/17/2009 2:01 pm : link

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

The picture of the training facility are great.

I like the grey pants better than the whites.

Curtis in MD : 7/17/2009 2:03 pm : link

Eric,

GiantFilthy : 7/17/2009 2:03 pm : link

we just have different ideas of "crazy."

Yeah

Danny Kanell : 7/17/2009 2:03 pm : link

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

Danny,

GiantFilthy : 7/17/2009 2:04 pm : link

best I could do in quick time.

It will be the 1975

BIG FRED : 7/17/2009 2:05 pm : link

UNIFORMS .

Unless we are talking about 30's throwbacks,

GiantFilthy : 7/17/2009 2:05 pm : link

which would be about as awesome as you could get.

Filthy...

Eric from BBI : Admin : 7/17/2009 2:06 pm : link

This isn't crazy to you?

lol

Danny Kanell : 7/17/2009 2:07 pm : link

Those look like Montreal Canadiens uniforms.

Filthy

Danny Kanell : 7/17/2009 2:07 pm : link

That's pretty impressive. Thanks.

It's STILL too gray.

GiantFilthy : 7/17/2009 2:09 pm : link

We should definitely use

Randy in CT : 7/17/2009 2:10 pm : link

the red and blue leather helmets.

The article doesn't say

SwirlingEddie : 7/17/2009 2:11 pm : link

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

...

Danny Kanell : 7/17/2009 2:12 pm : link

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

Swirling...

Eric from BBI : Admin : 7/17/2009 2:13 pm : link

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

FTR

NoPeanutz : 7/17/2009 2:13 pm : link

I vote for the Gray pants. They look workmanlike.

plus...

Eric from BBI : Admin : 7/17/2009 2:13 pm : link

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.

that article...

Eric from BBI : Admin : 7/17/2009 2:15 pm : link

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

that locker room is amazing

BH28 : 7/17/2009 2:19 pm : link

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

It looks...

Eric from BBI : Admin : 7/17/2009 2:21 pm : link

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

E-

RodneyHamp : 7/17/2009 2:24 pm : link

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.

Eric,

GiantFilthy : 7/17/2009 2:24 pm : link

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

compare it with this pic:

Stadium tours

Dave in Richmond : 7/17/2009 2:27 pm : link

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.

I want that trashcan.

mort christenson : 7/17/2009 2:28 pm : link

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.

Dave,

GiantFilthy : 7/17/2009 2:28 pm : link

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.

That giant trophy picture

adam XLII : 7/17/2009 2:51 pm : link

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.

The names on the ring of honor

adam XLII : 7/17/2009 2:53 pm : link

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

The 1972 uni is a perfect combination

adam XLII : 7/17/2009 2:55 pm : link

of the 86 uni and the modern uni
