The New York Giants entered the NFL in 1925, they were one of five teams to join the league and is the only one of that group that is still around today. In total, the New York Giants have won 8 NFL championships, four pre- Super Bowl titles in 1927, 1934, 1938, and 1956. They won four Super Bowls in 1986, 1990, 2007, and 2011, making them one of the NFL’s most dominant teams, only the Packers (13) and Chicago Bears (9) have won more titles.
Their nickname Big Blue comes from their blue uniforms and the moniker the Giants, the big towering Football team that dominates the big apple. While the Jets are the second New York team in the city the Giants have a more heated rivalry with the Philadelphia Eagles. Legendary players such as Phil Simms, Eli Manning, Lawrence Taylor, Michael Strahan, and Ray Flaherty have worn the Giants jersey with pride.
