Big Blue will wear the uniforms when the visit the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 16, at Lincoln Financial Field. The game could have major playoff implications by that point in the season. In addition to the jerseys, the Giants classic “NY” themed helmet will get a fresh makeover. They’ll keep the red stripe down the middle and return to their “GIANTS” logo.

Uniform History
The G-Men haven’t played with their look much over the years, so any alteration at all is a depart from the norm. Even if it’s more of a throwback than a new look. This season’s Giants Color Rush alternate jersey, up to the helmet, was their road uniform for many years before making a change in the 2000 season.
New York has worn some version of their current uniforms ever since. At home it’s been blue jerseys with white numbers, no outline, gray pants and blue socks. In 2013, they added white alternate pants. Away, it has been white jerseys with red numbers, no outline, same gray pants and red socks. They switched the stripe on their pants in the mid 2000’s, going with a thinner, more subtle look. From 2004 to 2007, they wore a pretty awful red alternate jersey at home.
