INCREDIBLE, for us uni-lovers at least!!unfortunately I don't have scanning capabilities, but here is the description...each of the 10 tickets feature the giants uniform of the decade/year. they are perfect representations of the unis for each period!! the ticket features the opposing team name on the top in solid blue block lettering (nothing special). below that is the year/decade featured, followed by the helmet of the period, then the jersey, pant, and SOCK of the uniform!! finally three players that starred in the era are listed. here they are game-by-game.Ex.

Gothamite Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 Are they using the Maple Leaf graphics?I'm guessing if they're including the socks, they have all-new images.... <fingers_crossed> The Green Bay Packers Uniform Database!

Gothamite Posted August 1, 2007 Share Posted August 1, 2007 Actually, I think a merge would be appropriate, since the other thread has already opened up to be about non-Cowboy ticket designs....

dancincy Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 First of all, I am insanely jealous that you have Giants season tickets.That said, the Giants usually have a great design on the tickets since I usually go to one game a year. In the past they usually had the team helmets although for some of the years they would have great players of the past. Last year, they had great teams of the past (1938 World Champions for the game I went to against the Buccs). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oddball Posted August 2, 2007 Share Posted August 2, 2007 Okay here's what you do. Send the tickets to one of us who will scan them and then we will scan them and send them back. I'd do it for you. Oh you don't have to worry about me using them since I live in California. Actually, I would do it and send them back. I could care less about the Giants. *LOL* Â Â Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nybatt Posted August 2, 2007 Author Share Posted August 2, 2007 in the mail oddball!!! laughing my butt off! great stuff. trust me dancincy I realize my good fortune of having season tix. they've been in my family since the beginning (1925). (actually season tickets weren't necessary until after WWII) my grandfather was an "original" fan and attended their first game. my dad (who still attends games) has been going since 1939.I agree, the giants usually have great designs on their tickets. recently they have done a lot more with their history on the tix. I've noticed it more since they went to their classic unis in 2000. this year is the first year that went 100% uni-centric.as a season ticket holder/uni-guy, I have my giant ticket stubs since 1981. I've got almost every one stuffed in a cup! these are the greatest without a doubt! they have come a long way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My grandfather was a Packers season ticket holder for decades, going back to their first games in Milwaukee (I think he might have been at the first one, at old Borchert Field, but I can't confirm it). Unfortunately, none of his daughters wanted the season tickets when he died, and so they went to his estranged brother. Where they stay today.

nybatt Posted August 2, 2007 Author Share Posted August 2, 2007 To have that unbroken legacy in your hands every year... gods, how I envy you.the "legacy" is one of the cornerstones of my family. my dad (who is 71) wears his mel hein #7 jersey to games (he actually saw him play in the 40's!!) I drive the 3 hours from delaware to all the home games and don't think twice about ever missing!! (I also love showing off my sam huff 1956 throwback jersey!!)anyway, I attended giants camp yesterday and picked up the 2007 team yearbook. they are featuring the helmet history of the team AND the uniform history of the team in the book. great stuff.frustrated I can't share/scan for the board.
