Just got this confirmed that this will be an alternate cap for the 2010 season.

How often? unknown.

Alternate jersey with it? unknown.

but I guess the throwback B.P. caps were popular enough to warrant this for use.

Nothing like remembering the 70's when were were a powerhouse in the....oh wait.

Your thoughts?

The Giants used to sell them on their website, dugout stores, etc. I haven’t seen them in a few years, though – they don’t wear them on the field anymore.

Just as long it doesn’t come with those gawd-awful orange throwback jerseys I’m good with it.

Honestly, I do not remember the Giants wearing the orange jerseys with the script “Giants” all that often back in the day (late ‘70s, early ’80s). It was either the white at home or black on road. The first game I saw at the stick – the last Friday night home game in ’82 – the Giants wore the white (a button up version of those would be kind-of cool). Why someone insisted on the little used orange I don’t know. Because those jerseys were just so cheesy? What?
