LEWJ Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 OK, so I'm not really a fan of the Giants football jerseys.Home or away for that matter.

JQK Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 Nice attempt, but you've added nothing to the homes, and the roads look... off.Blue pants are verboten in Giantsland after the 1970's debacle that was the super pants stripe uniforms.Your execution of the idea is nice, so no problems there... i just don't like it.

And I'm glad the execution is there. haha.Is there anything specifically that makes the roads look off? Or is it something you can't really identify?Thanks for the reply, and your two cents. | BROWNS | BUCKEYES | CAVALIERS | INDIANS | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GregP1719 Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 being a life-long ny giants fan. I gotta say these are a downgrade. It looks way to much like the old uniforms. Don't get me wrong those were great uniforms, but thats lawrence taylor days, its eli manning & company now. One thing i do not like is for some reason it reminds me of the dallas cowboys. The stripes are all different on both uniforms. Doesn't match. The set they have now obviously is like that, but i love it. It's so different and unique. No red on home no blue on away. Idk y but it works, if you had told someone this before they were both made, you would be like thats the stupidest idea i have ever hear. But it works.

Idk y but it works, if you had told someone this before they were both made, you would be like thats the stupidest idea i have ever hear. But it works.I gotta respectfully disagree with the first two posters here. I like this concept, a lot. It's one of those concepts that maybe looks a little boring on paper, but it would look absolutely gorgeous on the field. The giants stripes now are boring on the road, and non existent on the home. This splash of red on blue is much needed and breaks up an otherwise monotonous blue dominated home uni (that's my main problem with the current threads). And greg, the portion I highlighted, doesn't really make sense to me, it's clear in my eyes that it DOES match, pretty well, red is always surrounded by blue, even on a blue background, the blue stripes just go away. It's pretty consistent. I like what you have done lewj. Dribbble ... Behance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rentz Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 Looks good. My only comments would be to lose the red outline on the helmet logo, and just as a suggestion, maybe try a red-white-red striping pattern? That way it appears the same on the home and road set.Good work overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They fixed that which was not broken when they went to their current unis. Probably need red-white-red on the blue-jersey stripes, and a red-white-red stripe on the blue pants. Other than that, I like these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigKwell Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 If you ask me... I prefer the current uniforms.

LEWJ Posted October 1, 2009 Author Share Posted October 1, 2009 Here's a little update for those of you who wanted me to add white.I added white, but only minimal amounts.See how you like this. I'd have to say, I was against the idea. But I think it does look much better. | BROWNS | BUCKEYES | CAVALIERS | INDIANS | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rentz Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 Dude. It's a concept. If he simply kept what they had now, it wouldn't be a concept.Do I think these are an upgrade over the current sets? Not necessarily. Do I respect the attempt and understand his thinking with regards to the design? Absolutely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamieRose Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 Wow, it's amazing how very thin white striping can make all the difference. I really like this concept. It's clean, uniform, and has a very nice updated classic feel to it. I also like the use of consistency over history, i.e. blue at home AND on the road! Overall, very good work.
