Giants New 2012 Nike Uniforms

Here’s the link to the NIKE site for Giants gear: Not much change in looks, except the cleats and gloves. Other changes mainly for performance and comfort. The good thing about the “changes” for Giants fans is that not everyone will feel compelled to run out and buy a new game jersey. The more important difference is the other clothes that go along with the new line. There are more choices, colors, styles for Men, Women, and yes even Fido has some new gear to try out! Take a look at the Giants shop as they have everything you need as always. Below is the link to the game day uniforms for the players.

NFL TO UNVEIL NEW NIKE UNIFORMS TOMORROW

The NFL is making what could be a BIG change this year in marketing their teams. The contract with conservative Reebok has ended, and in walks Phil Knight and NIKE.

NIKE has been known the past few years as the company that took NCAA Uniforms to the next level. It all started with owner Phil Knight’s Alma Mater in Oregon, and their 130 possible combination football uniforms. The story at Oregon is that the GOLF coach at the school keeps all the combinations straight and plans the season for the Ducks football team. On the right is a picture of the single colors that can all be mixed and matched.

Although many CEO’s and celebrities have donated uniforms to their Alma Mater, such as Deion “Primetime” Sanders did at Florida State, Phil Knight had a business plan behind his generosity. He now has most of the NCAA schools and the entire NFL in his collection.

Now, many of the NCAA uniforms have come under scrutiny. Many, like the ones the University of Maryland wore on opening night, have been called into question. It is a matter of taste of course.

What NFL fans should remember as the date nears for the unveiling is that the owners of the teams still had to agree to any changes. I wouldn’t look for too much tinkering to be done to our Giants uniforms. I personally wish we would return to the 1986 uniforms more often, but a conservative approach is what to expect from our owners. I believe the Giants, if they could do it all over again, would like to have stuck to the path of the Yankees, and Penn State, and never changed logos or uniforms. That opportunity has passed, but I suspect the changes to be minimal. Now if you root for a team like Cincy, Miami, Denver, and maybe Seattle, cover your eyes. There could be some shocking combinations of colors and designs.

We will see……..It all happens at 11 AM Eastern time, but you know Twitter and GmenHQ will have it before that…stay tuned!

If you have been paying attention lately you know that NIKE is launching NEW UNIFORMS for the Entire NFL on Tuesday April 3rd. While there are sure to be some surprises in cities like Seattle, Denver, Cincinnati, and maybe Miami, I think the Giants fans can count on the old standard with just a few tweaks. Here is a peak at the workout gear from NIKE….Full gameday Uniforms will be shown this coming Tuesday. I have heard that a full Orange version is in play for the Broncos this season, I’m sure Peyton will look good in that! Click here for the Team Store Shop

Giants 2012 Uniform Preview

Our Fansided colleague Josh Sanchez at The Landry Hat has posted some proposed NFL uniform changes for 2012 — check them out here. Below is the NY Giants uniform.

They look… weird. Hard to tell if the design of the helmet is simulating shadowing, or if the colors are actually gradated like that. Either way, not sure I like it. Also – the undergarment might be appropriate for the Bengals uniforms, but not the Giants.

What do you all think?
