One of the most storied franchises has caused so much backlash. The comments across the media are mind numbing. Is society becoming this dumb?!
“These are not Giants colors” These are literally Giants colors
“Trying to copy the Canadians” These are the Giants original color scheme from the 20’s (pretty much the exact Jersey)
“Who thought this color scheme was good?” Someone 100 years ago
“Tan pants?! Gross” original pants the Giants wore (khaki legit goes with any shirt color)
“Why didn’t they choose the 80’s uniform?” We are a 100 year old franchise paying homage to our storied past.
How have people become so decisive? For a brand to last 100 years is incredibly impressive. For a brand to pay homage to the originators is the ultimate sign of respect. I grew up with the 80’s Giants logo and I love it, but paying homage to our elders who are no longer here ties all Giants fans and players of the past to present day. Between social media comments from clueless fans as well as clueless comments from Giants fans it only leads me to think that being negative someone is a new sickness.
The entire point is that they won more than 4 championships.
Your comment therein lies the problem - upset that they are honoring history before the super bowl era.
If you want ugly, Green Bay and Pittsburgh have some real doozies.

Agreed. I think these are pretty decent, especially by throwback standards.
If you can't see this, I don't know what to tell you.
I also don't agree that there is more criticism of NYG's throwbacks than there were with GB and Pitt, it's just more apparent to us because we're fans. And yes, people are going to comment on things like this, if you don't want to see negative responses, don't read the comments.
If you love the history of the team, you probably have a more positive view of these uniforms. If you're just in it for the aesthetics, it's hard to disagree with the negative reactions. Many fans don't care about how a historical uniform connects with the history of the team. They see what they think is an ugly uniform after a solid 12ish seasons of ugly football and free medium pepsis and it brings out the rage. I think it's really that simple.

They should try recognizing the 4 NFL Championships that they won

This is exactly it, its celebrating 100 years which INCLUDES 4 other championship teams. Also there were a lot of great football players who did not win championships that are being honored by the jerseys.
I dont care what outsiders think, but its little embarrassing that Giants fans are so upset with them. Its our teams history and deserves celebration at the 100 year milestone.
I also know if we kick ass in these uniforms, the same people will be begging for the Giants to where them. We live in a world of ridiculous hypocrisy.
Yes it's only twice, it's a throwback, and whatever else but who cares about the history when the present (and recent history) sucks?
Why are people still dying to defend this team is a better question. Be silent, be hopeful, but how are you surprised some people hate everything about this team after it's been so poorly run??
Seriously look at the players and coaches and get excited for the season just don't think about how we're hoping to get lucky like we have in tht past bc the same clueless blue blood family that screwed up this team 50 years ago is still in charge.
The rings are a pretty cool touch though. I might pick up a box on eBay late September when we're still searching for our first win.

LOL, you are right, we should move the 100 year anniversary and wait until the team is more successful.
If you can't see this, I don't know what to tell you.
I spit laughed at this one!
Yeah, who needs democracy? Everyone should have the same opinion on the uniforms!
I’ll buy too once price comes down. However you are SPOT ON in regards to our championships! We are 8 Time World Champions! The NFL did not start in 1966.
I'll buy one. It'll most likely be from DHgate, if current 100 year merchandise pricing is any indication but I'll rock one this season. For sure. Just don't know what player.
