    stupid football uniform question

    The Giants -- aren't their home uniforms blue and their away uniforms white?

    Why are they wearing red?

    No one else around the house here seems to know.

    I'm not sure the specifics...

    but...the NFL allows NFL teams to have an off jersey or 2...

    for example...a lot of teams do the throw back deal...I think you are allowed to use them 2 or 3 times...

    The reasoning is that the team can then market a third jersey...that is generally a good seller...

      And most teams in all sports do it this time of year in time for Chirstmas buying.

        yep...remember the year that San Diego caught hell for wearing the throwbacks so much?

        You can only wear them in two or three games I think...

          Yeah, they try and keep all that even amongst teams.

          I think they give you 2 ... not even positive though.

            Fuck,

            The Chargers throwbacks are one of the best uniforms EVER!!! They should wear them permanently. IMO. Then again, I dug the 70's Air Coryell era too with Fouts, Windslow and Jefferson as well.

            Remember the '94 season when all teams wore old time throwbacks celebrating the NFL's 75'th year? That was cool shit and I wish they'd do that shit more often.
            EAT US AND SMILE!!!!

              The NFL likes to go to the throwbacks around Thanksgiving time.

              Not all teams do it. All of the teams that played Thanksgiving day did, and usually do.

              Even NFL.com put up old school team logos for the week.

              They put the current logos back up today.

                  The NBA does it too, the Lakers wear those faggoty white uniforms when they play at home on Sundays. I hate them.

                    That reminds me of the Jack Nicholson quote from "A Few Good Men" And ironically you and Jack are Laker fans.

                        Did you like those powder blue ones they wore last year? The ones similar to the uniforms the Lakers wore in Minnesota.

                          Those I didn't mind so much, but they wore those a few years ago. The throw backs they wore last year were the '65 Royal Blue Laker road jerseys with the "Los Angeles" in script on them. Those were cool too.

                          The Lakers just look dumb wearing the white home unis. And yeah actually I remember that line from A Few Good Men, that's why I used it.

                          I plead the 5th in being a Laker fan now. Kidding.

                            I think it has something to do with them sucking:D

                              Yeah I like the Chargers' old uni's and I think they should go back to them. Though their current ones are snazzy too.
