Giants announce uniform schedule

81_Great_Dane : 8/4/2022 11:10 am
My ongoing reaction to the Giants "Color Rush" uni is the Giants really don't like the concept of a "Color Rush" uni.
Giants announce 2022 uniform schedule - ( New Window )
Wish they'd wear them more often.

They blow away our current uniforms.

They should just reverse it so they're wearing the classic blue's all but 2x and the color rush all but 1x.

The alternates are so much better.

Meanwhile, I love the "classic" logo, but the navy helmet with royal blue jersey looks weird. Odd choice.
Maxing Out The Alternates-I Like It

I'm surprised Titans are not wearing white at home in week 1.

I thought with the Cowboys helmet reveal they would be bringing it back with the navy uniform but it appears it will be worn with their color rush jersey, so Giants wear regular blue jerseys in Dallas.

The 100th anniversary is in 2025, I can definitely see a transition to where the uniforms from the 80's-90's could be the full time jerseys to start that season, and then mix in some throwbacks that year from different eras, including the red tops.

Says in the article that the Giants will be wearing all-white.

in the day, the superstitious Giants used to wear their away whites at home against the Cowboys because the Cowboys had a worse record when wearing blue.
White Facemasks  
Costy16 : 8/4/2022 11:20 am : link
They need to ditch the gray facemasks on the current main uniform set they use. They don't have gray pants anymore. The Bills finally did this after having a gray facemask for a couple of years. It would look so much cleaner.

DAL even changed to a different shade of blue because of that.

That superstition came from Tom Landry.
While probably not directly related, I think it's interesting to note that during Landry's tenure with the Giants as a player & coach they wore white at home fairly frequently from 1953-56.
Where whatever for Game 1

The NFL no longer allows that kind of flexibility.
There was a time when you simply notified the visiting team had to be notified what the home team was wearing by the Thursday prior to a Sunday game. Now having to declare your uniform for the entire year before the season even starts is ludicrous.

The Giants petitioned the league for permission to wear their white jerseys for the win-and-in Week 17 game against Dallas in 2011 but were denied because they had called out the blue jerseys back in July. How absurd is that?
It's not a Fashion Show  
Jim in NH : 8/4/2022 11:57 am : link
It's NFL football

And, by the way, who decided those shitty 80s uniforms were "classic"?

Classic is beating the Bears in 1956
Classic is my Charlie Conerly button my Dad bought at my first game
Classic is YA bleeding in the end zone
Classic is "Goodbye Allie"
Sure it's a fashion show. The referees inspect every player before  
Ten Ton Hammer : 8/4/2022 12:07 pm : link
kickoff to make sure their sock height complies with the uniform code and all that clothing micromanaging BS the league wants.

It's also huge business. Nike cuts a tens-of-millions dollar check per year for this stuff.

Shit post.
The uniform obsession always makes me laugh

Just win the damn game! Shirts and skins shit even a BBI shirt I could care less it’s just another way to create revenue from people who buy jersey’s every year.

Classic is "Get off my lawn!" ha ha. Just kidding.
I also don't care about the uniforms...

I do like the color rush whites!
Sorry all you chaps ...  
DonQuixote : 8/4/2022 12:21 pm : link
... I like the current blue unis the best.

Though I also don't really care that much.
At least NYG aren’t wearing color rush

For the annual TNF embarrassing loss to the Eagles this year. That’s cool.

It's become so silly larry. Declaring months ahead, petitioning, getting denied.

much like a fan thread caring about uniforms...
What's important to remember about this  
M.S. : 8/4/2022 12:48 pm : link

is that the league is not trying to get fans to buy any more uniforms than they already own.

OK?

That's what the uniforms did look like when they were actually worn, so why wouldn't the "classic" uniform replicate that?

The actual uniforms from the 80s and 90s were much closer in color to the helmets:



Does this mean the Giants will use 3 helmets?  
Matt M. : 8/4/2022 1:47 pm : link
Or will they swap facemasks and decals for the color rush?

I know it's been a couple of years, but I really like the current uniforms so much better with the white pants, as opposed to the old gray.

That's more or less what we had in the 80s. The 80s jersey was a little darker, but not by much.

I used to love that gamesmanship by Parcells. It was one of about 1 or 2 games a year that the Cowboys had to wear blue.

The refs don't do this. League employees do. I don't know if he still does it, but for a while Joe Morris had this job for all Jets and Giants home games.
Three out of four of those unis are fine.

But that 'BLUE' looks like something a high school team on an austerity budget would wear. You can shitcan that one.

OK, it's not my imagination then. It's disappointing to be honest. The dark blue is much better.

One thing to note here is that we're only seeing these new throwbacks under studio lighting and not out in the sun. Throw in the fact that we're looking at almost 4 decade old images.

They worked with Riddel to match the colors to be as close as possible and I think they look great.
