Nice.

I like it!
Just a gut feeling..  
Sean : 9/10/2020 10:24 am : link
but, I get the sense they are setting up to go back to this look within the next few years.
They wore the blue jerseys in SB 25.  
Dave in Hoboken : 9/10/2020 10:25 am : link
So, they wearing the blue ones or the white throwbacks they've been wearing for a few years?

From your lips to God's ear.
One of the reasons I fell in love with the team as a kid  
bceagle05 : 9/10/2020 10:28 am : link
was seeing them run out of the tunnel in those uniforms. They should absolutely make a full-time comeback, but I'll take what I can get.

The whites aren't throwbacks but a special design for those Thursday night games.

So, the blue ones, then. Awesome! I've been waiting for them to wear the 80s/90s blue ones forever.
Same

Would be awesome if we could get a fan petition going and send it over to Pat Hanlon and ownership.
I’d be upset  
RicFlair : 9/10/2020 10:31 am : link
If they went back to the old jerseys permanently.
It’s the white jerseys..  
Sean : 9/10/2020 10:34 am : link
The tweet reads as blues, but it’s the color rush uniform.

The team will wear them during a Monday night meeting with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Nov. 2. Similar to what they wore from 1980-99, the uniforms consist of white jerseys and pants with blue and red stripes, a "GIANTS" helmet decal instead of the familiar "ny," and white facemasks replacing the customary gray.

Old jerseys with Ny helmets  
mpinmaine : 9/10/2020 10:34 am : link
and practice pants!
Can they match the helmets?  
ron mexico : 9/10/2020 10:35 am : link
Thought there was a rule against that.

Prefer the old “GIANTS” logo over the current NY
So how are these  
Pete in MD : 9/10/2020 10:36 am : link
any different from the alternate unis they have worn the past few years for Thursday night games?
It's the white throwback jersey. So, I was right, unfortunately.,

And

white face masks.
I just checked and the color rush unis has the GIANTS logo helmet  
ron mexico : 9/10/2020 10:48 am : link
So these are just the same color rush as the past couple of years?
ah yes  
ATL_Giants : 9/10/2020 10:55 am : link
What a pleasant suprise...  
90.Cal : 9/10/2020 11:51 am : link
Always wanted to see Eli in the retro Home jersey... I will settle for seeing Daniel and Saquon in it and may even purchase one of the two if and when Nike sells them...
Guys, it's the white color rush we've been wearing for a few years now  
Dave in Hoboken : 9/10/2020 11:58 am : link
It's not the home blues, sadly.

I didn't want to believe this but its true.

Damn you Pat Traina!
Same as last year, I think

I misinterpreted the tweet.
What a bummer

Might as well. Without Eli it's a new era. I remember when we had these uniforms in the late 90s, everyone clamored for them to go back to the "NY" throwback look. Now it feels like the other way around, funny how that works.

IMO it would be cool if the Daniel Jones era ends up around 15 years or so under the "Giants" and they go back to the "NY" for the next era.

Same here. I like the nostalgia, but I dont want to see those awful sleeve stripes every week.

I prefer the current uniforms. When they changed the pants back to white they made the perfect Giants home uniforms. Now they just need to tweak the road unis.
The NY logo  
LakeGeorgeGiant : 9/11/2020 8:08 am : link
is also far more superior to "Giants" which looks clunky on a helmet.
I love our current white jersey  
BrianLeonard23 : 9/11/2020 9:42 am : link
It’s a throwback itself plus some of the biggest games in the recent history of the franchise were won while rocking them. I also prefer most teams’ whites to solid colors just a personal preference. That said if we were to switch full time to the above color rush uniforms I’d be cool with that. I think they look amazing. Also I’d keep the current home uni but with the white pants and white facemask every week.

I like the idea of a uniform change to usher in a new era of Giants football. Of course Judge and Jones need to lead us there or else we won’t look back on them too fondly.

Completely agree. It’s fun bringing the old look out once a year or every other year for nostalgia’s sake but the current version is better.

I think Brady  
David B. : 9/11/2020 1:48 pm : link
has far more fear of the current uniform.

I wish they'd switch back to the 86/90 STYLE unis, but using some of the more modern colors (like the metallic blue on the helmet).

I thought the old unis were much classier, with the sewn-on letters with the red outline and the red-white-red piping around the arms and neck.

It is their current helmet with the GIANTS logo sticker replacing the NY sticker. This is just their color rush uniform, which happens to be a variation on that 80s uniform. They are not allowed to use new helmets and they don't re-paint them for 1 game.
