I need help from my fellow GMen fans

by YankeeDudeL on Dec 20, 2011 2:03 AM EST

I've been scouring the web and I'm desperately trying to find my girlfriend a blue Giants jersey. Ok, I know, we're less than a week away, it should have been done by now. Truth is, I didn't really know she wanted one until a couple of weeks ago and funds weren't readily available. Anyway, it seems everyone and their mother wanted one for Christmas because finding the right one in the right size has become more than a chore.

The toughest thing is finding her size. She's most likely a medium, but possibly a small. She already has a white Eli jersey, and wants a blue in someone else. I've come across players like Steve Smith and Kevin Boss, but they're not on the team anymore. There's Jacobs, but I don't think he'll be back next year. I wouldn't mind Tuck, but I already have one and was kinda thinking of someone else, like Nicks or Bradshaw. JPP or Cruz would be awesome, but I haven't even seen guys jerseys with them.

I have also come across the old school Bavaro and Taylor ones for women, but she has no idea who Bavaro is, and while 56 will always be a hallowed number in Giants lore, I don't think it's appropriate to buy my girlfriend the jersey of anyone who's name has been mentioned in the same sentence as rape.

I've searched NFLShop, ESPNShop, FansEdge, FootballFanatics, TrueFanGear, eBay, Amazon, Google, Yahoo, Dicks, Sports Authority, you name it. Not only can I not find any, it's like each are using the same supplier as each one seems to show the same inventory.

If anyone has any ideas, I'd love to know. I don't know if this is even allowed to be posted here, but I had to try. Thanks ahead of time, everyone.

Well

You could always go the custom jersey route.
Haven’t been up the NFL shop in awhile but I recall seeing the option to put ‘your name’ on a jersey… you could just as easily put a real player’s name on it.

Good luck and Merry Christmas.

I have used the NFL Shop to get a custom jersey before.

They are always available. Just chose that option, and pick the name and # that you want.

Get her a Nicks Jersey. Shorter names like that look cuter on girls than longer names like, say, Umenyiora i.e.

It’s getting late for shipping but I see Men’s medium available on the Giants official site (no small), women’s XL on FansEdge, and Youth XL on Reebok-time.

If you can’t decide on a size, get multiple and return the one(s) that don’t fit. Just be sure of the return policies before you do that.

I doubt JPP or Cruz have jerseys for sale yet. It almost seems like guys don’t end up on the NFL website until just before they end up leaving your team. The best way to get around that would be to to the custom route.

Anybody tried giantsjerseyonline.com?

I want a JPP authentic jersey:

But $120 seems too goof to be true for authentic and I can’t find any reviews of the site.

They sell Jerseys right here..but I'm respond probably too late..

Get her a JPP jersey..He ain’t going anywhere..but I would advise at this point to just get her a card saying it is coming, because the shipping charge will kill you at this point..Just a card with a nice note about what is on the way..

Thanks for all the help, guys!

I wish I could have gotten to this sooner, as I would have gone the custom route (or early enough to get Nicks, Bradshaw, or Tuck in her size lol). I think the ship has sailed on this (however, it gives me a great idea for her b-day present, lmao). Unfortunately, I’m afraid that instead of being labeled with the Giants NY, I’m going to be buying something with C(oach). I think I hear my wallet crying.
