My History with Giants Jerseys

Yesterday the NFL unveiled the color rush uniforms for all Thursday games. Normally the Thursday Games are not exciting, they have produced some poor football the past few years but that is another story.  This is about what the players wear on the field or more importantly how much money can the NFL get from their fans.  Some of them are pretty cool, like the Seahawks and Broncos.  Others are really bad / boring like the Jags and Texans. Check out all the teams here. The Giants one are cool, they are pretty much throwbacks uniforms not much of a color Continue reading My History with Giants Jerseys
