New York Giants implement merit patches at training camp

New York Giants players, starting training camp on July 29, 2026, now wear merit patches on their jerseys. These patches, introduced by head coach John Harbaugh from his time with the Baltimore Ravens, recognize player commitment and achievements, such as attending 85 percent of offseason workouts. Over 30 players currently display a patch, indicating their participation and accomplishments. The patches vary in design and signify personal and team accolades. Harbaugh emphasized the patches as a visible acknowledgment of hard work and dedication, similar to military decorations, with plans for continued use throughout the team's activities this summer.
