The Giants are going the throwback route in more ways than one when they host the Cowboys this season.

The Giants plan to wear their all-white Color Rush uniforms and throwback 'GIANTS' logo helmet for their Week 14 home game against the Cowboys in December, according to a person with knowledge of the decision. That means Dallas will not be wearing its iconic white tops, but will instead wear navy jerseys. The Dallas Morning News first reported Thursday the Cowboys planned to wear navy on the road the Giants. It's not clear if the Cowboys' uniforms will be a Color Rush look, or their usual, but rarely-worn, navy jerseys.

It will be the first time the Giants have worn white jersey tops at home since their 2000 home opener against the Cardinals. They wore white at home for that game as part of the rollout of a new uniform scheme highlighted by the return of the classic "NY" logo helmet.

The Giants went on to win the NFC East and home field advantage in the playoffs that year before winning the conference title and appearing in Super Bowl XXXV, where they lost to the Ravens.

The Giants wore white pants and blue jerseys for all of their regular season home games last season. The Giants have worn white jerseys at home periodically throughout their history, and they wore white when hosting the Cowboys up until 1987, which was the last time the Giants had worn white at home before the 2000 game against the Cardinals.

The Giants are not on the NFL's official Color Rush schedule this year, as their Thursday Night Football game falls against the Redskins on Thanksgiving. They first wore the popular uniform, which is a modernized spin on the white uniforms worn by their Super Bowl teams in the 1980s and 90s, in last season's Week 16 loss to the Eagles in Philadelphia.
