Giant Footsteps, New York Giants

This spirited newspaper centerfold by illustrator Sandy Huffaker captures the energy of the New York Giants' promising mid-1980s backfield. Joe Morris (#20) and Butch Woolfolk (#25) charge forward in Huffaker's signature crosshatched caricature style, their exaggerated forms conveying the explosive potential that Giants fans hoped would restore the franchise to glory. The clever visual conceit places the duo literally following in 'Giant Footsteps,' with the impressions below containing the names of legendary Giants running backs: Webster, Gifford, Johnson, King, Morrison, and Strong. This connects the young players to a lineage stretching back to the team's championship years. Part of the 'New York Super Heroes' series (#4), this piece represents the optimism of a franchise on the verge of its first Super Bowl victory in three decades. A charming piece of Giants history that bridges generations of New York football, rendered with the wit and energy that made newspaper sports illustration a beloved American tradition.
