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.
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
but, I get the sense they are setting up to go back to this look within the next few years.
I agree.
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.
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.
According to the Giants.com link, they will also be wearing the "GIANTS" logo helmets for that game.
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.
From your lips to God's ear.

So, they wearing the blue ones or the white throwbacks they've been wearing for a few years?
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.

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 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.
