NFL Uniform Rankings

Giants come in at number 10 with this write up:

Still wish the white jersey had blue numbers and trim, instead of red. And with the Eli Manning era now finished, maybe it’s time to think about changing the helmet logo back to the “Giants” lettering instead of the “ny.” Overall, though, Big Blue remains very easy on the eyes.

White and red trim is at least unique.

Colts and Cowboys already have a white and blue jersey. And the Rams do too now.
Stillers helmets...

Always liked the single logo, although I thought it was done on one side to simulate a “stamped” logo into steel. Interesting history.

Cleveland, Cincinatti & Tampa Bay is wrong.

the "GIANTS" helmets and the 80s/90s uniforms in general. We've had these old school for 20 years now (since 2000). Perfect time to go back to the 80s/90s uniforms. 20 years is a great tribute to the older uni's.

The color scheme is great and the red pants are among the best uni elements in the entire league, but it’s long past time for the Chiefs to move away from using Native American imagery. As long as they keep that arrowhead on their helmet, they’ll rank toward the bottom of the NFL pack.


Give me a fucking break.

I hated the GIANTS helmet lettering,  
81_Great_Dane : 8/6/2020 7:49 pm : link
loved and still love the NY logo.

But I wouldn't hate it if it were NY on one side and GIANTS on the other. Just don'b bring back the V-necks. Today's retro uniforms are classic. Don't mess with perfection.
Those gradient numbers on the Rams jerseys

Exactly what I have suggested for years. I think that would look nice

Honestly, the block-letter GIANTS has a nostalgia factor for fans but I think they could find something more interesting to do with that. At the very least it should harmonize with the NY logo. Right now they don't really go together at all.

They just shouldn't go too trendy, like the Yale Bowl version of the NY. Ugh.
The lower-case "ny" is okay,  
Dave in Hoboken : 8/6/2020 8:40 pm : link

Give me a fucking break.

I tried looking up their uniform rankings from previous seasons to see if they were as outraged in previous seasons but I’m not finding anything.
Much prefer the ny

logo to GIANTS. Not that that uniform was bad, it wasn't. It was very good. Would not mind the jerseys and pants from the 80s with the ny logo.

This shit condemning the Chiefs unis is embarrassing. It is a classic uniform, with great colors and style. So what it has an arrow head. Do the Vikings need to remove the horns?

Pretty soon teams will just be named after body parts.

Uniform Rankings?

LOL. Just because it's an "article" on the internet and it has photos of all the uniforms doesn't mean it's anything definitive.

These are the rankings of just one guy (which he admits) at a website that most of us haven't heard of.

It has as much validity as a list that any of us would post.

Now an arrowhead is offensive! Holy Crap!
Atlanta's uniforms are awful IMO

Reminds me on the 1970's movie Rollerball with James Caan. I bet they copied that look
Football uniforms should never be one color. They look like pajamas.

Baseball uniforms should always be one color.

I agree that it's just the thoughts of one guy, but FWIW, Paul Lukas has been his uni-watch columns for 20 years. I remember him back at ESPN and SI, but I guess the new landscape has taken him to this InsideHook site.

the reason I like the GIANTS helmet is because it makes them a little more NJ. I think it's what the original intent was as well. Stylistically I think the ny logo is far superior.

The fact that the Redskins were ever ranked last  
fanofthejets : 8/8/2020 4:37 pm : link
totally removed any credibility from this article.

They had a poorly run franchise, but a beautiful uniform. Just because it irked some cancel culture nazi didn't make those uni's bad.

Snyder buckled to the gestapo. Goya stood up to it. The Blackhawks stood up to it. I think Dan Snyder is probably regretting bowing to the mob
Remove the names

If you are a real New York Giant fan you don’t need to have the name of the player on the jersey. Surely you can memorize 60 players and their numbers from year to year.
The only thing I’d consider changing  
RicFlair : 8/9/2020 10:22 am : link
Is bring back gray pants with the home uniform.

And also bring back the red alternates. Not a popular take but I loved them.
