They tied in way more with the helmet stripe. MLB: Project 32 (Complete), MLB: The Defunct Saga (Complete) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ark Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 Giants white pants match the numbers on the blue jersey. They also have grey stripes on the side which match the facemask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GFB Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 The Giants should just use the white color rush/throwback pants instead of the current ugly ones and they’d be fine. If they want to make a grey pair, even better. My biggest issue with the Giants is that nothing about their uniform matches any other part. Hell, even blue pants with a single red stripe to mimic the helmet would save the all-red road jersey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I happened upon a clip of an old Seahawks game from 1992 and I noticed the names were in Trade Gothic (the Avalanche/Canadiens font). I think that would be a good modern touch for the Seahawks, especially if they were in neon green. The bottom of the seahawk logo should be in that green instead of grey, too: it'd be truer to the original logo while still pushing boundaries because it's such an unconventional color. More green, less grey, be loud. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least it was before they ruined their near perfect look with those stupid white pants. Over the years, I think I've become better at appreciating uniforms that don't match, like the the Colts uniforms or the Bears roads. I can look past the awkwardness and appreciate the spirit of the uniform. However, I have found that I need to believe that you have either a reason for the mismatching (like historic tradition) or its the unfortunate result of a better look elsewhere (like when the Chiefs wear red on red and the striping patterns don't line-up because they were made to be worn with the white jerseys). However, these current Giants uniforms give me absolutely nothing to latch onto. They aren't historic, they aren't the result of mismatched pairings, and they don't even follow their own rules (the grey pants have red | grey | blue | grey | red striping; the white pants have blue | grey | red | grey | blue stripes). I can even get down with being a red-on-the-road team, even if the team is called Big Blue. I need something - anything - to hold onto. Here's my idea, Giants: be the red-striped team. Do you have white pants? Put a red stripe on there. Blue jersey? Red stripe. Red socks? Sure, as long as you add a red stripe (kidding). Whatever color you use just put a red stripe and you're golden. Go ahead and mismatch striping patterns and use 3 different white pants, just follow that one rule.

DouglasQuaid Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 The giants would look amazing if they went back to the old gray pants at home and moved the tv numbers to the sleeve cap (like the raiders). That way it'd look almost as good as their road uniform, which is top 5 in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_DietDrPepper_ Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 Being on the east coast, I don’t get to see that many Niners games, every time I see them though I realize how gorgeous their uniforms are. Especially next to the Browns atrocities, they look god sent. Easily one of the best looks in the NFL.

Claystation360 Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 They really should've had the niners and browns in AAFC throwbacks for NFL 100 & 70th anniversary of their final AAFC championship game but thats in a perfect world. #DTWD #GoJaguars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simtek34 Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 My Vikings are (unfortunately) wearing Color Rush vs the Redskins on 10/24 Thursday Night Football. We went so long without Monochrome, why now. All I want is to see White on White a few times, and to add White socks for the W/P. Not THIS!

But the NFL is stupid and wants to not care about the last 100 years that made the NFL what it is today. Instead they “want to look forward to the next 100 years”.
