The logo will be worn as a patch on Giants uniforms and appear throughout MetLife Stadium all season. The Giants will also release a merchandise line showcasing the logo for fans to purchase at the stadium during games and the team store online. In addition, the G-Men will hold several brand activations throughout the summer to highlight team history and showcase the 100th-season logo.
The Giants will pay homage to their old home at Yankees Stadium, where they played for 18 seasons, on Aug. 4, with the Toronto Blue Jays in town. The game will be designated as Giants 100th Season Day at Yankee Stadium, and the first 18,000 fans in attendance will receive an Eli Manning bobblehead of the former Big Blue quarterback in pinstripes. The two-time Super Bowl champion will also throw out the ceremonial first pitch.

Breaking down the New York Giants' 100th-season logo
The Giants' 100th-season logo represents eight elements that perfectly tell the story of the franchise's history. The patch's border, a replica of the Polo Grounds, the Giants' first home, and the zeroes in the '100', mirroring the shape of Giants Stadium, now known as MetLife Stadium, are reminders of the Giants' journey.

The signature red stripe on every Giants helmet inspires the red banner across the patch. The red and white banner flanks represent the pattern of the Giants' legacy jerseys. The eight football laces below the red banner symbolize all of the Giants' NFL championships.
The logo below the laces honors the team's old skyline logo and represents a century of Giants players. The blue football itself honors "The Duke" Wellington Mara, who founded the Giants in 1925 and was the former owner and president of the team until he died in 2005.
