NDwas Posted January 13, 2008 Author Share Posted January 13, 2008 It's pissing me off too.Seriously?Well when every single other player on the Giants has their name up higher, it does bother me. Plus, it's bolder than the others too. Tomorrow's just your future yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
officeglenn Posted January 13, 2008 Share Posted January 13, 2008 According to this entry in Paul Lukas' blog, it's because Toomer is wearing a uniform with a different tailoring template than the rest of the team (oddly enough, with no side panel, just a seam), and because of the seams on it, it pushes his nameplate down. No idea why the lettering appears to be different, though.Lukas does follow up in the subsequent day's entry, saying: "Jints equipment guru Joe Skiba isn?t ready to talk about this yet, but stay tuned ? we should have more info in another week or so."It is strange, but I don't think it's anything to get worked up over, even for uniform geeks like us.

Coast2CoastAM2006 Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 the lower name plate is the least of the giants uniform problems.some red stripes and number outlining wouldn't kill them and on the white, some blue striping and outlining wouldn't hurt either.

koizim Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 Why is his name so low? Because he's Amani mother- Toomer, that's why!Seriously though, it's probably via player request. Engine, Engine, Number Nine, on the New York transit line, If my train goes off the track, pick it up! Pick it up! Pick it up! Back on the scene, crispy and clean, You can try, but then why, 'cause you can't intervene. We be the outcast, down for the settle. Won't play the rock, won't play the pebble.

John in KY Posted January 14, 2008 Share Posted January 14, 2008 It's pissing me off too. Why is his name so low on his back?Toomer's jersey looks like a variation of the template the Chargers are wearing - the seam on the back of the shoulders looks like that style, but I'm pretty sure the Chargers jerseys have the spandex side panels.If the Giants equipment manager, who has been very forthcoming, doesn't want to talk about it yet then we might be looking at a new jersey teplate for the Giants for next season. Toomer has also been testing helmets - he was wearing the Schutt ION 4D earlier in pre-season (and maybe into the early season) but he didn't like the heavy facemask. For at least the last 4-6 weeks of the season he has been wearing a Schutt Air XP - he just has the back snubber tucked into the shell (like Burress does on his regular Riddell VSR-4 helmet).

The_Admiral Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 It seems like the Giants all wear their uniforms tighter than most teams. They always look pulled taut. โซ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is goneย โซ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
