The New York Giants are preparing to host Thursday Night Football against the Washington Commanders, and they want to make it a unique experience at MetLife Stadium.
With the Giants in first place at 5-2-1, the team wants to have a playoff-like atmosphere to give the players a homefield advantage. The Giants are wearing all white against the Commanders, and they are encouraging the fanbase to do the same.
From a press release issued by the team:
“The Giants are set to wear their “Vintage White” uniforms
and fans are strongly encouraged to wear white to the game to “White Out” MetLife Stadium. All attendees will receive a rally towel along with wearable light bands, which will be used for coordinated stadium-wide displays throughout the game. Fans are encouraged to arrive early and be in their seats by 7:45 p.m. for special player introductions, fireworks and a laser show,“ a press release read.
“The Giants are also providing fans with an opportunity to gear up for gameday by visiting the “White Out” Shop, featuring a limited edition “White Out” collection from Starter along with other apparel including the “Vintage White” jerseys. The shop will be open for early access on Wednesday, Nov. 11 from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. outside MetLife Stadium between the MetLife and Verizon Gates. Parking for the Wednesday shop is free in Lot F, and no parking pass is required.“
The Giants wore their vintage white jerseys for their Week 9 win against the Philadelphia Eagles, and they hope they can go undefeated in those jerseys for the season. It’s the only time the vintage jerseys will be worn at home this season, and it’s meant to be a celebration of the 1980’s when the franchise won its first Super Bowl.
“The Vintage White jerseys and pants resurfaced in 2016 as part of the NFL’s Color Rush concept, which commemorated 50 years of games being broadcast in color. The white jersey features blue numbers with a red outline, just like the Giants wore on the road for two decades.”
