RutgersJetFan Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 Wow, they've got the original Ali and Clay shirts. 34 bucks a pop is pretty steep but I just might have to do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Complaining about it 15 years ago was one thing, complaining about it now is jsut ridiculous because it ain't going away. I'd rather have that than have the players look like Nascar drivers.

JOJOTOWNSELL Posted August 25, 2010 Author Share Posted August 25, 2010 so the name is iconic to you ? weird Giants Stadium is most definitly ICONIC to me. I was born in the late 70's and i have an insane amount of ridiculous memories from that building. Am i supposed to surpress them because im some "basket case Jets nut" who cant bring himself to admit we played there for 25 FREAKIN YEARS!! This isnt the Yankee's playing at Shea for a year or the Giants playing at the Yale Bowl for a year while there stadiums were being built/refurbished. 25 YEARS BOYS AND GIRLS......and i dont ever plan on erasing 25 years worth of memories because I am strong enough in my Jet-fandom to never feel like a lil brother to some diaper wearing, ensure drinking, plaid blanket covered lap having, Mr Burns looking Giants fan!!

Klecko73isGod Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 How does the name changing or not having the shirt erase 25 years worth of memories? Exactly. And the new building is most definitely NOT Giants Stadium. Giants Stadium no longer exists. It is a parking lot. And I, for one, say good riddance!

JerryK Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 Under Herm Edwards, the team made the playoffs more than once. So I think I'll call Rex "Herm". It's iconic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sirlancemehlot Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 Mike Fatcessa has decided that it's the New Giants Stadium as far as he's concerned.
