New leaked SF Giants jerseys seemingly pay tribute to the '80s

The SF Giants have teased a new "Fiesta Gigantes" jersey that will will be worn at home on Saturdays this season. It seems that the jerseys have leaked online, and if they are indeed what the Giants will wear they seem to pay tribute to the 1980's.

A Reddit user leaked the jerseys which say "Gigantes" on the front with black lettering and orange and grey trim. The font is reminiscent of the one from Giants jerseys in the '80s so it has a classic, retro feel even though they are a new look.

It's a cool idea for the Giants to pay tribute and celebrate the Latino community with these jerseys so hopefully they will be a big hit with fans this season. New jerseys have typically been pretty polarizing among the fanbase over the years but maybe this time they will be universally embraced.

The Giants have honored past looks with new uniforms before. The "Orange Friday" look the Giants have worn for years now features a font on the jersey that is the same font used in the 1970's. It's a fun way to give a nod to the storied history of the team while also giving fans something different.

It's also nice that these jerseys appear to be black because fans have become accustomed to the Giants wearing their black jerseys at home on Saturdays in recent years. It has typically been the black jersey with the "SF" logo on the front, the same jersey that was their spring training look for years until they switched to orange this year.

They've also had the black jersey with "Giants" written in orange on the front that they used to wear in spring training or the black jersey with "San Francisco" in black that they used to wear in the early 2000's so there have been plenty of black jersey iterations over the years.

It makes sense for the Giants to debut these jerseys now, though. Many players on the team are from Latin America so it's a cool way to represent both players and fans alike from that community.

Of course, how the Giants perform in them may ultimately determine how fans feel about them. Even though the look was polarizing, those orange and white City Connect jerseys produced a pretty lopsided winning record so as long as the Giants win with their new "Gigantes" look, that's all that matters.
