Have You Bought Your Super Bowl Merchandise Yet?
So, I went out Wednesday and purchased my New York Giants 2012 Super Bowl XLVI merchandise. I kept it simple, just grabbing the obligatory official hat and long-sleeve locker room T-shirt.
I am curious this morning. What have you guys purchased, or ordered online? What do you think of the designs of the official merchandise? I bought them, but to be honest I find them sort of boring. I would rather have it than not have it, of course, but the new Super Bowl XLVI hat is not nearly as nice as the Super Bowl XLII hat. As for the official shirt, the 'Super Bowl Champions' logo design is a tad weird. Again, though, I had to have one.
What is the most off-beat thing you have purchased, or plan on purchasing?
Also, don't forget that if you want to order your merchandise online you can do it right here at the Big Blue View store.

I bought that too
but I thought it was a sweatshirt not a sweater?
I also bought the official long sleeve SB tee shirts for me and my husband.
I already got my hat and shirt.
Got that the same night we won.

I got a T-shirt a half an hour after the game ended
Watched the game at my sister’s and they live five minutes from a Modell’s. They opened right after the game ended. I wanted a hat, but they only had black ones, not grey ones.

we got there early enough that it wasn't insane
Still, I’ll bet it’s the most business they’ve had on a Sunday night since … well, since 2008.

I'm putting my order in today...
I haven’t looked at the stuff yet, but it does look from what I have seen pretty bland looking..But I’ll need it for my Dallas trip this year…No easier way to rub it in than wearing Super Bowl Champion garb….
"When I was a boy and I had no sense..I got my pecker caught in an electric fence..Well it curled my hair, tickled my balls and made me shit in my overalls..."
I got the hat, shirt, and DVD
but I agree that the SB42 merch was more interesting, particularly the hat. I must say though in both instances the white ny logo seems to go better with these items than the Packers stuff did from last year (white goes with everything). Case in point:

Probably just getting a t-shirt

vastly overpaid
for the locker room hat at the metlife stadium store ($40) and bought my wife a gray thermal ladies shirt. also vastly overpriced. ($50)

Got it at Mo's Mon morning near Wall Street
Roster shirts for the whole family.
Now that the NYG won the Superbowl I could wear my NFC Championship without worring about causing any jinxes (as advised by my numerous giant friends!).
At some point I’ve going to order a coffee mug for when I’m out my in-laws (they are huge Eagle fans), but that’s not until the summer. And will probably put me out of the will, assuming I was ever in it!
Getting one of the 4-time t-shirts
I got a lot of stuff for sb42 cause I went to AZ, so I only want one thing this time.
Blue is the color of melancholy and honesty
Green is the color of inexperience, envy and nausea.
Gonna get a Road Cruz jersey with the SB Patch on the chest
maybe a hat and shirt too

I bought the long sleeve shirt the team wore after the game
Said it will be shipped before february 24. Not really feeling the design of the shirt. I thought the NFC championship hats and shirts were better
Also I am renewing my SI
and getting the DVD with it. I can’t wait to watch it

I bought a NFC Champs T-Shirt at Target
Looks sort of like this but not exactly:

And mine is a short sleeve. The blue is a really nice shade of blue and the blue, red and white look great together .. good shade of red and good proportional use of the colors. And it’s not too gaudy with HUGE lettering or anything.
I agree the SB46 stuff is pretty ugly. I don’t know if I’ll get it. I already have two big blue sweatshirts (one pullover, one zipper), 2007 gray long sleeve conference champ shirt (that’s my lucky one — Gmen won SB42 and the final 6 games of 2011/2012 with me wearing it), a nice long sleeve blue shirt, 2 different long sleeve SB42 shirts I never wear, another bootleg SB42 gray t-shirt with the entire roster printed on the back, another old random blue short sleeve t-shirt. 2 decent caps – one bootleg blue one with the velcro back and the NY, and another nicer legit blue soft one with the buckle in the back that says “New York Giants” in stitched on the front in block lettering.
I need jersey(s) next. Only one I still have lying around is a replica Shockey (letters printed, not stitched, on). Never wear it anymore but I wore it for SB42 so it’s lucky to an extent. My wife works for Cole Haan which is owned by Nike so she should get 50% off the new Nike jerseys (and other gear) when then come out next year so I am fired up for that.
Will definitely get the season highlights Blu-ray when it comes out in March (hope to get a good deal at Best Buy or Amazon) and I hope they put out a multiple game set like the one they did for SB 42 that included complete games of the entire playoffs plus the Week 17 Patriots game. This year they should go one extra disc and TOTALLY start with the Jets game, then Cowboys Week 17, and then entire playoffs and SB46.
I also just got the below DVD set off Amazon for $25. I didn’t know it existed. Awesome set for $2.50 per game DVD.

It includes these ten games in their original complete broadcasts on 10 DVD’s:
1986 Giants 49 49ers 3 in the playoffs.
1986 Giants 17 Redskins 0 in the NFC Championship.
1986 Giants 39 Broncos 20 in Super Bowl XXI.
1990 Giants 31 Bears 3 in the playoffs.
1990 Giants 15 49ers 13 in the NFC Championship.
1990 Giants 20 Bills 19 in Super Bowl XXV.
2000 Giants 20 Eagles 10 in the playoffs.
2000 Giants 41 Vikings 0 in NFC Championship.
2006 Giants 30 Eagles 24 – Eli Manning’s epic comeback.
2007 Giants 17 Patriots 14 in Super Bowl XLII.

The Super Bowl 46 and season highlights DVD will be released around March 13th.

I haven’t seen any word on a multiple dvd full-game package (hopefully starting with the Jets game), but I remain hopeful for that too.

Cool, thanks!
Just found the super bowl on Amazon. Going to get that top ten too!

That's great...
Too bad it didn’t have 2007 NFC Championship or 2007 Division/Cowboys. I liked seeing Romo yell at his OL after getting crushed. I know that’s what I’m getting myself for valentines day (just put my kids name on it and hopefully my wife won’t figure that out…… yeah, right).
No, you want the 5 Disc "Road to 42" set for that.

The only duplicate with the other set it SB42 itself which couldn’t be justifiably left out of the 10 Disc set..

Official merchandise is ugly
The Super Bowl makes so much money, yet the NFL pays so little attention to the design of the official merchandise. This year’s shirts are ugly (despite the message). I have a few XLII shirts that aren’t great, but I like well enough.
I bought a GMEN XLVI sweatshirt that Strahan wore at the city hall rally. It’s distinctive. The official gear shows no originality.
I agree..
I liked the roster shirt from ‘07 much better. It hate the player’s numbers on it, not just the names. The NFC locker room shirt (grey) was pretty good.
Also, Modells told me that the player tshirts with the numbers on the back are out of stock until Nike replaces Reebock in early spring. My son wanted a Manning T-Shirt, but will now have to wait.
yeah, they're not shweet in design, but I wanted to throw Ed some scratch
Now everyone will say Eli is in Bradys class. F*ck me
by PatNation85 on Nov 6, 2011 4:31 PM PST
Got a flag that’s on my desk at work and got a banner with the 4 Super Bowl logos for each title. My wife (Jets fan) wasn’t thrilled with that one but its up and not going anywhere!
I’ll get a hat too, when the Modells near my office re-stocks. I agree though – kind of boring, but still have to have it. Might go for one of those GMEN shirts.
Also, my DVR is getting crowded. 3 prior SB win highlights from NFL network and now the 90 minute version of XLVI.
Manning lobs it, Burress alone, touchdown New York!
For the empty net, Mark Messier... do you believe it?! Do you believe it?! He said we will win game 6 - he has just picked up the hat trick!
nope
I hardly own any articles of clothing with sports logo on them, and have no plans on expanding now

I went the sports illustrated rout, reupping and getting the photo book, dvd, and commemorative football. I also plan on getting a tshirt. After a few months, when the prices have gone down or someone is selling one on EBay, I’m going to get a Jersey for my collection

I wanted to get the all black t w/ the “Gmen” in the middle but i went to modells yesterday and they didn’t have it.
frankly I don’t like ordering stuff on line either.

I bought the superbowl championship hat.
I know it looks plain and all I love the subtle colors. I also want my woman some panties and t shirts from Victoria Secrets ( yes, victoria secrets) with the NY Giants logos. The t-shirt is see through of course with a huge lower case “ny” on the front and panties with the logo on the back makes her a** look just right. a pair of white ones in a pair of blue ones. the blue ones are my favorite. now all I have to get is the superbowl champions shirt and I will be set.
If you want to argue that Manning is a) not a great quarterback or b) not the best quarterback in franchise history your credibility is automatically shot.

reebok vs nike
I bought the manning tshirt, mugs, window sticker and the roster tshirt which i thought looked better than the other championship logo shirts
several folks told me for jerseys that Nike will be the new producer in a few months and to wait on that for some reason. I don’t know why they would eb any better and don’t want to wait although I can’t find a JPP one in my size right now anyway…given my name is actually Peter Paul I really need that one!!
I'm planning on getting a jersey.
I’m waiting for Nike’s design. I like what they did with the Oregon ducks jersey, especially their helmet at the Rose Bowl. But I know how traditional and conservative the NY Giants are, so it’ll be interesting.

Pennant
Bought the pennant for my office!!! Put it next to the SB42 one. Love it because I work Northeast CT, most of the people here are Pat’s fans! LOL
Also Modells had the best selection and confrenec hats are on $10
Giants merch..
I’m a designer and Giants’ fan but I have to say, I really hate the Giants’ clothing line. It’s a little over the top sometimes and they really should follow the same rules of their jerseys and helmets. Less is more. I’m really curious who comes up with their stuff for their clothing line. Sometimes, I just want a simple shirt with an Giants’ “NY” logo on it and they have to make the logo the size of the whole friggin’ shirt with some futuristic, go out of style typeface in that Christian Audgier look. Trust me, I even looked in to making officially licensed Giants’ stuff but it’s like $100,000 for that license.
(i know I’ll get killed here for saying it) But if there is one thing I have to give credit for when it comes to the Jets, they do make really nice clothing and licensed apparel. They even hired one of the (if not the) best branding company in the world to redesign their look. Bravo to them. The NY Giants should do the same.
I just buy
The stuff on ebay that isnt officially licensed… they have the less is more technique down, get my hunting camo, army camo, red, black, blue, white all with the lower case ny love them.
"My God is salvation"
Merch
I will forever regret not buying any XLII merch. I bought a hat from Giants.com, which I am anxiously awaiting in the mail. I had a bet on with a Patriots fan friend, so he has to have his photo taken in it.
To the Victor go the spoils.
The C&S drugdtores had SB42 merchandise
all over here in Phoenix area since the game was here. After two weeks they had all kinds of SB paraphernalia in shopping carts for dollar each and few weeks later you just had to ask for a plastic shopping bag and full it up and it cost you a dollar. i stocked up so much stuff such as key chains, bumper stickers, can holders, 6 pack holders etc etc. i gave a lot away to Giants fans and have very few left.
So anyone living in Indy area keep an eye on retail stores for their clearance sales on such items.
This is not the 2007 team.
2011 NYG will have their own legacy.
I bought the $90 SI subscription
that comes with the hard cover photo book, the blu-ray season recap, and the SB XLVI football.
I ordered a SB patch and was planning on getting a premier (eqt) away jersey (probably Cruz as I got the Eli one for 42 and I’m from Passaic county) but you can’t find them online anywhere. I’m sure Reebok is done making them and the Nike ones don’t come out until around July, so looks like I’ll just hold on to the patch until then.
"things like locig and prrofreading are actually valued here" - zknower
The hat, the longsleeve, and the 10 SBJersey
Yeah the logo isn’t great but that’s not the point.
Come September when I walk into the pub that I watch a good deal of games at, I’ll be wearing that obnoxious crap with a Gigantic look at me and look what my team did expression on my face.
To me, the uglier the better.
You down wit JPP?
I got 99 problems but a Vick ain't one!
I got 3 Tshirts from the link you provided
2 for me and one for my girl…I then saw the ALL-IN Tshirts and was about to spend a bunch more on that and some hoodies but they were all out of the ALLins :( I also am not a big fan of gray hats…and I don’t really like the style of any of the other ones so. I’ll wait till the games are on iTunes and when I have Internet again to purchase the 2011 playoffs
Die hard Giants fan since wide Right! I was 6...
I'm down wit JPP
Yea you know me
Win Ugly.

I ordered my stuff from our site...
A bit expensive but Ed gets a little percentage..So I don’t care about the prices…
"When I was a boy and I had no sense..I got my pecker caught in an electric fence..Well it curled my hair, tickled my balls and made me shit in my overalls..."
Went a little overboard, but not as bad as in '08
I bought the official hat, but I couldn’t bring myself to buy that hideous t-shirt. JC Penney had a nice roster shirt in Giants blue that I liked better than the white one. Also picked up a Manning Super Bowl XLVI shirt, a shot glass and a beer glass with the roster on it. I’ll probably end up buying a coffee mug, too. Picked up the Sports Illustrated and the special edition today. I really wanted to get the official Manning Super Bowl jersey, but it’s $200.
