[1] The Giants were successful in their first season, finishing with an 8–4 record in 1925. [3]
In just its third season, the team finished with the best record in the league at 11–1–1 and was awarded the NFL title. [4] After a disappointing fourth season (1928) owner Mara bought the entire squad of the Detroit Wolverines, principally to acquire star quarterback Hunter Conforti, and merged the two teams under the Giants name. In 1930 there were still many who questioned the quality of the professional game, claiming the college "amateurs" played with more intensity. In December 1930, the Giants played a team of Notre Dame All Stars at the Polo Grounds to raise money for the unemployed of New York City. Notre Dame Fighting Irish football team is the football team of the University of Notre Dame, Indiana, United States It was also an opportunity to establish the superiority of the pro game. Knute Rockne reassembled his Four Horsemen along with the stars of his 1930 Championship squad and told them to score early, then defend.

Rockne, like much of the public, thought little of pro football and expected an easy win. [5] But from the beginning it was a one-way contest, with Friedman running for two Giant touchdowns and Hap Moran passing for another. Francis Dayle "Hap" Moran' ( July 31 1901 - December 30 1994) was an American football Running back Notre Dame failed to score. When it was all over, Coach Rockne told his team, "That was the greatest football machine I ever saw. I am glad none of you got hurt. "[6] The game raised $100,000 for the homeless, and is often credited with establishing the legitimacy of the professional game. [7]
In a fourteen-year span from 1933 to 1946, the Giants qualified to play in the NFL championship game 8 times, winning twice. [4] During the period the Giants were led by Hall of Fame coach Steve Owen, and Hall of Fame players Mel Hein, Red Badgro, and Tuffy Leemans.

1964–1978
From 1964 to 1978, the Giants registered only two winning seasons and were unable to advance to the playoffs. The history of the New York Giants covers the American football franchise from the team's inception until the conclusion of their tumultuous 1978 season [3] With players such as Tittle and Gifford approaching their mid 30s, the team declined rapidly, finishing 2–10–2 in 1964. [3] They rebounded with a 7–7 record in 1965,[3] before compiling a league-worst 1-12-1 record,[10] and allowing more than 500 points on defense in 1966.

[3] The Giants traded him back to the Vikings after the 1971 season when the Giants went 4-10. [13] Tarkenton would go on to lead his team to three Super Bowls and create a Hall of Fame resume,[13] while the Giants suffered through one of the worst stretches in their history. [3] Starting in 1973 the Giants compiled only 23 wins in 6 seasons. [3] Before the 1976 season, the Giants tried to replace retired RB Ron Johnson with future HOF fullback Larry Csonka to revive a weak offense. Larry was unfortunately often injured and ineffective during his 3 years in New York. The 1977 season also featured the unusual choice of having three rookie quarterbacks on their roster. [14]
During this period, due to the renovation of Yankee Stadium, which the team shared with baseball's New York Yankees, the Giants were forced to play their home games at the Yale Bowl from 1973 through 1974, and Shea Stadium in Queens, NY in 1975. The original Yankee Stadium is a Stadium located in The Bronx in New York City. The New York Yankees are a professional baseball team based in the borough of The Bronx, in New York City, New York.

East Rutherford is a borough in Bergen County, New Jersey, United States. One of the low points during this period was the so-called "Miracle at the Meadowlands", which occurred in 1978. The Miracle at the Meadowlands is the term used by Sportscasters and Philadelphia Eagles fans for a Fumble recovery by Cornerback Herman [15] With the Giants needing only to kneel the ball to secure a certain victory against the Philadelphia Eagles,[15] they chose to call a running play—which resulted in a fumble that was returned for a game-winning touchdown by the Eagles Herman Edwards.

1979–1993
In 1979, the Giants began the steps that would, in time, return them to the pinnacle of the NFL. These included the drafting of quarterback Phil Simms in 1979, and linebacker Lawrence Taylor in 1981. Lawrence Julius Taylor (born February 4 1959 nicknamed LT, is a retired Hall of Fame American football player [8] In 1981 Taylor won the NFL's Defensive Rookie of the Year and Defensive Player of the Year awards and the Giants made the playoffs for the first time since 1963.

The Giants struggled to a 6–9 record in the strike-marred 1987 season,[3] with the running game in particular struggling. After rushing for 1,526 and 1,336 yards in 1985 and 1986 Morris struggled to 658 yards[18] behind an injury-riddled offensive line in 1987. [19] The early portion of the 1988 season was marred by a scandal involving Lawrence Taylor. Taylor had abused cocaine and was suspended for the first four games of the season for his second violation of the league's substance abuse policy. Despite the controversy, the Giants finished 10–6, and Taylor recorded 15. 5 sacks after his return from the suspension. They surged to a 12–4 record in 1989, but lost to the Los Angeles Rams in their opening playoff game when Flipper Anderson caught a 47-yard touchdown pass to give the Rams a 19–13 overtime win.

He was fired following the 1992 season, and replaced by former Denver Broncos' coach Dan Reeves. The Denver Broncos are a professional American football team based in Denver, Colorado. Daniel Edward Reeves (born January 19, 1944 in Rome Georgia) is a former American football player and head coach In the early 1990s, Simms and Taylor, two of the teams' largest figures in the 1980s, played out the last seasons of their career with steadily declining production. The Giants experienced a resurgent season with Reeves at the helm in 1993 however, and Simms and Taylor ended their careers as members of a playoff team.
1994–present
The Giants initially struggled in the post Simms-Taylor era. The New York Giants, an American football team which currently plays in the NFL's National Football After starting 3–7 in 1994, the Giants won their final six games to finish 9–7 but missed the playoffs. [21] Quarterback Dave Brown received heavy criticism throughout the season. David Michael Brown (born February 25, 1970 in Summit New Jersey) is a former professional American football Quarterback in the [22] Brown performed poorly the following two seasons, and the Giants struggled to 5–11 and 6–10 records. [3] Reeves was fired following the 1996 season, and replaced by Jim Fassel, former offensive coordinator of the Arizona Cardinals. Jim Fassel (born August 31, 1949 in Anaheim California) is an American football broadcaster and former NFL coach The Arizona Cardinals are a professional American football team based in Glendale Arizona, just outside of Phoenix. Fassel named Danny Kanell the team's starting quarterback, and the team finished 10–5–1 and made the playoffs in 1997. Danny Kanell (born November 21, 1973 in Fort Lauderdale Florida) is a former professional American football Quarterback. [3] After losing in the first round to the Vikings in 1997, the Giants needed four wins to close out the season to finish 8–8 in 1998.

The Carolina Panthers are a professional football team based in Charlotte North Carolina, representing both North Carolina and South Carolina in the However, problems with alcohol, conflicts with his teammates and questions about his character led to his release from the Panthers. [23] The Giants finished 7–9 in 1999. [3] The 2000 season was considered a make-or-break year for Fassel. The conventional wisdom was that Fassel needed to have a strong year and a playoff appearance to save his job. After two back-to-back losses at home against St. Louis and Detroit, the Giants fell to 7–4[24] and their playoff prospects were in question. At a press conference following the Giants' loss to Detroit, Fassel guaranteed that "[t]his team is going to the playoffs. "[25] The Giants responded, winning the rest of their regular season games to finish the season 12–4[24] and earn a bye as the NFC's top seed.
The Giants won their first playoff game against the Philadelphia Eagles, 20–10, and defeated the Minnesota Vikings 41–0 in the NFC Championship game. [24] They advanced to play the Baltimore Ravens in Super Bowl XXXV. The Baltimore Ravens are a professional American football team based in Baltimore Maryland. Super Bowl XXXV was an American football game played on January 28, 2001 at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa Florida to decide Though the Giants went into halftime down 10–0,[26] the Ravens dominated the second half. Their defense harassed Kerry Collins all game long, resulting in Collins completing only 15 of 39 passes for 112 yards and 4 interceptions. [26] The Ravens won the game 34–7. [26]
The Giants struggled after their Super Bowl loss and Fassel was replaced by current coach Tom Coughlin in 2004. Thomas Richard Coughlin (born August 31, 1946 in Waterloo, New York) is the head coach for the New York Giants, the 2007 National Although Collins had several solid seasons as the Giants quarterback, he experienced his share of struggles. In 2004, the Giants completed a draft day trade acquiring quarterback Eli Manning out of the University of Mississippi. The 2004 National Football League Draft, took place on April 24 and April 25 2004 at the theater at Madison Square Garden.

The early part of Coughlin's tenure also produced inconsistent results (a 25–23 record and two playoff appearances—both losses, before the 2007 season[28]) and spawned intense media scrutiny concerning the direction of the team. [29] During this period in their history, standout players include defensive end Michael Strahan, who set the NFL single season record in sacks in 2001,[30] and running back Tiki Barber, who set a team record for rushing yards in a season in 2005. Defensive end ( DE) is the name of a defensive position in the sport of American and Canadian football.

Super Bowl XLII featured the National Football Conference (NFC champion New York Giants and the American Football Conference (AFC champion New England Glendale is the anglicised version of its Gaelic name Gleann Dail which means valley of fertile low-lying arable land. [32] Manning was named the game's Most Valuable Player. [33]
Logos and uniforms
With over 80 years of team history, the Giants have used numerous uniforms and logos. A uniform is a set of standard Clothing worn by members of an organization while participating in that organization's activity A logo ( Greek el λογότυπος = el-Latn logotypos is a graphical element ( Ideogram, Symbol, Emblem, Icon, Sign) Giants' logos include several incarnations of a giant quarterback preparing to throw a football, a lowercase "ny", and stylized versions of the team nickname.
Giants' jerseys are traditionally blue or red (or white with blue or red accents), and their pants alternate between white and gray. Currently, the Giants wear home jerseys that are solid blue with white block numbering, gray pants with red and blue stripes on the pant legs, and solid blue socks. For road uniforms, they wear a white jersey with red block numbering and Northwest stripes on the sleeves, gray pants with blue and red stripes, and solid red socks. The Giants' current helmet is metallic blue with white block numbers, frontally mounted on either side of a red stripe running down the center. The helmet is adorned on both sides with the lower case "ny" logo and features a gray facemask. Additionally, the Giants have a third jersey which recalls the Giants' solid red home jerseys from the early 50's: a solid red alternate with white block numbers. This design has been fielded three times at home by the team since 2004.
Financial history and fan base
The Giants have had a long, and at times turbulent financial history. The New York Giants, an American football team which plays in the National Football League (NFL have had a long and at times turbulent financial history The Giants were founded by businessman and bookmaker Tim Mara with an investment of US$500 in 1925 and became one of the first teams in the then five-year-old NFL. A bookmaker, bookie or turf accountant, is an organization or a person that takes bets and pays winnings depending upon results and depending on the nature Timothy James Mara ( July 29, 1887 &ndash February 16, 1959) was the founder and administrator for the New York Giants. The United States dollar ( sign: $; code: USD) is the unit of Currency of the United States; it has also been [34] To differentiate themselves from the baseball team of the same name, they took the name "New York Football Giants", which they still use as their legal corporate name.
Although the Giants were successful on the field in their initial seasons, their financial status was a different story. Overshadowed by baseball, boxing, and college football, professional football was not a popular sport in 1925. The Giants were in dire financial straits until the 11th game of the season when Red Grange and the Chicago Bears came to town attracting over 73,000 fans. Harold Edward "Red" Grange ( June 13, 1903 &ndash January 28, 1991) was a professional and college American football The Chicago Bears are a professional American football team based in Chicago, Illinois. [35] This gave the Giants a much needed influx of revenue, and perhaps altered the history of the franchise. [36][37] The following year, Grange and his agent formed a rival league and stationed a competing team, led by Grange, in New York. Though the Giants lost $50,000 that season, the rival league folded and was subsumed into the NFL. [38] Following the 1930 season, Mara transferred ownership of the team over to his two sons to insulate the team from creditors, and by 1946, he had given over complete control of the team to them. Jack, the older son, controlled the business aspects, while Wellington controlled the on-field operations. John V Mara ( March 21, 1908 &mdash June 15, 1965) was a co-owner of the New York Giants; an American football team which Wellington Timothy Mara ( August 14 1916 &ndash October 25, 2005) was the co-owner of the NFL 's New York Giants from [39] After their initial struggles the Giants financial status stabilized, and they led the league in attendance several times in the 1930s and 1940s. [40]
By the early 1960s, the Giants had firmly established themselves as one of the league's biggest attractions. However, rather than continue to receive their higher share of the league television revenue, the Mara sons pushed for equal sharing of revenue for the benefit of the entire league. Revenue sharing is still practiced in the NFL today, and is credited with strengthening the league. Revenue sharing has multiple related meanings depending on context [39] After their struggles in the latter half of the 1960s and the entire 1970s, the Giants hired an outsider, George Young, to run the football operations for the first time in franchise history. George Young ( September 22, 1930 - December 8, 2001) was an American football executive [43] The Giants on-field product and business aspects improved rapidly following the move.
In 1991, Tim Mara's son, Jack, struggling with cancer at the time, sold his half of the team to Bob Tisch for a reported $80 million. Preston Robert "Bob" Tisch ( April 29, 1926 &ndash November 15, 2005) was the chairman and with his brother Laurence [44] This marked the first time in franchise history the team had not been solely owned by the Mara family. In 2005, Wellington Mara, who had been with the team since its inception in 1925 when he worked as a ballboy, died at the age of 89. [45] His death was followed two weeks later by the death of Tisch.
During the 2005 season, it was announced that the New York Giants, New York Jets and the New Jersey Sports and Exhibition Authority had reached an agreement where both teams will work together to build a new stadium adjacent to the current Giants Stadium. The New York Jets are a professional American football team based in the New York metropolitan area. Giants Stadium, is the home Stadium for the New York Giants and New York Jets football teams of the NFL, and the Red Bull New The Giants had previously planned a $300 million dollar renovation to the Meadowlands, before deciding in favor of the new stadium which was originally estimated to cost approximately $600 million,[46] before rising to an estimated cost of one billion dollars. [42] One advantage gained by owning the stadium is that the teams will save considerable money in tax payments. The teams plan to lease the land from the state at a cost of $6. 3 million per year. [46] The state will pay for all utilities, including the $30 million needed to install them. [46]
The Giants are currently owned and operated by John K. Mara and Steve Tisch. John K Mara (born December 1, 1954 in New York New York is the president CEO, and co-owner of the New York Giants. Steven "Steve" Tisch (born February 14, 1949) is an American Businessman. Forbes magazine estimates the current value of the team at $890 million. Forbes is an American Publishing and media company Its flagship publication Forbes magazine is published bi-weekly [47] This ranks them 15th among the 30 teams in the league in terms of estimated value. [47] The value has steadily increased from $288 million in 1998, to their current value. [41] The magazine estimated their revenue in 2006 at $182 million, of which $46 million came from gate receipts. Operating income was $26. 9 million, and player salary was $102 million. [42] Current major sponsors include Gatorade, Anheuser Busch, Toyota, and Verizon Wireless. Gatorade is a flavored non- carbonated Sports drink manufactured by the Quaker Oats Company, now a division of PepsiCo. Anheuser-Busch Companies Inc ( (ˈænhаɪzər bʊʃ is the largest Brewing company in the United States with a 48 (pronounced) is a Multinational corporation headquartered in Japan, and is currently the world's largest Automaker.

Aramark Limited is a food and apparel service partner to organizations across a range of sectors including business and industry judicial education health care offshore and defense [42]
The Giants draw their fans from the New York metropolitan area. The New York metropolitan area, often referred to as the Tri-State Area, is the most populous Metropolitan area in the United States and is also one Since their move to New Jersey in 1976, fans from each state have claimed the team as their own. [48] In January 1987, shortly before the team won Super Bowl XXI, then New York City mayor Ed Koch labeled the team "foreigners" and said they were not entitled to a ticker-tape parade in New York City. Edward Irving Koch (born December 12, 1924;) was a United States Congressman from 1969 to 1977 and the Mayor of New York City from 1978 to 1989 [49] In 2001, when the Giants advanced to Super Bowl XXXV there was debate again over where the team would hold their parade in the event they won the Super Bowl. The city, under current mayor Michael Bloomberg threw a ticker tape parade in honor of the Giants' Super Bowl XLII victory at the Canyon of Heroes in lower Manhattan on February 5, 2008. Michael Rubens Bloomberg (born February 14, 1942) is an American businessman and the Mayor of New York City. " Canyon of Heroes " is a Colloquialism referring to the section of New York City 's lower Broadway and the Financial District that is [50] According to a team spokesman, in 2001, 52 percent of the Giants' season ticket-holders lived in New Jersey. Most of the remaining ticket holders lived in New York State, with some traveling from Connecticut and other states. [48] Their fans have referred to them by various nicknames over the years such as "Big Blue", the "G-men", the "Big Blue Wrecking Crew", the "Jersey Giants", and the "Jints", a name seen frequently in the New York Post, presumably making light of the New York dialect. The New York dialect of the English language is spoken by most European Americans and some non-European Americans who were raised in New York City and Although not technically a nickname, often the Football is stressed when referring to the team, as in the "New York Football Giants".
