a uniform they're going to wear once.
Giant fans on Twitter don't know much  
Dave on the UWS : 5/16/2024 12:00 pm : link
do they even look at videos from when Mel Hein played (he's in the ring of honor by the way).
These are very cool, especially the top and helmet. Might have to get one.

I wish they'd bring back the GIANTS full time, plus we seem to play well in those blues.
I have an idea.  
Optimus-NY : 5/16/2024 12:07 pm : link
Pre-season is a time to experiment. Why not do it with jerseys? I'd have NO PROBLEM with that whatsoever. It'd actually be a way to get people to tune in a little more.
Yes I know all about Mel Hein

I love history. Some things should stay in the past, though, like these hideous clown suits

I think they're headed in that direction again eventually personally.

Thank you Greg. I don't get the whole I have to see a uniform to appreciate history thing. They're ugly. Simple. I can appreciate Steve Owens, Mel Hein, Frank Gifford, Emlen Tunnell, etc. without having to see these prison getups.

Actually, they are stuck with it for five years. They may not wear it after this year, but they won't be able to replace it for 5 years.
Giants are wearing these for one or two games this seson:

To commemorate their 100th season, the New York Giants today unveiled a "Century Red" uniform, which the team will wear for up to two games in 2024.
Awesome jersey!!  
HBart : 5/16/2024 12:13 pm : link
First alternate I've ever wanted. I'm in for one.

The pants are awful, but like Eric says, that's history baby. Celebrating the long ago past in anything means coming to grips with browns and tans -- once everywhere; now nowhere.
...  
ryanmkeane : 5/16/2024 12:13 pm : link
I don't really have an opinion one way or the other about the century red. I think it's a cool nod to the past and creates some excitement but is it necessary? Not really.

Wish they would just go full time 80s/early 90s unis and call it a day.

ryanmkeane : 5/16/2024 12:14 pm : link
I will say though, those helmets are pretty awesome.

for a bad team. Guess it's fitting.

We are a team that seems stuck in the past, with our crappy stadium, and musty-looking old uniforms. 100 years old is cool but these uniforms just don't do our history justice.

Just like this team is going to underwhelm in 2024, the new/old uniform is a disappointment.




You must be a real hoot at parties

I don’t especially like these either, but they are immensely better than the Montreal Canadiens/Michigan mashups. Red pants instead of brown alone is a huge improvement
What Greg from LI said.  
Red Dog : 5/16/2024 12:47 pm : link
As a GIANTS fan for almost 70 years, the throwback unis they chose really suck.

What Eric found just proves that there were better choices to be made.

Well as an old timer  
redwhiteandbigblue : 5/16/2024 12:49 pm : link
I think these are butt ugly. I get it though. They did do a nice job matching up to the original concept of 100 years ago.

Oh the humanity! A jersey they’re going to wear twice a season will be around for five years!

JFC.
My take  
Biteymax22 : 5/16/2024 12:55 pm : link
They're so ugly they're cool
I'm OK with them for the historical perspective  
56goat : 5/16/2024 1:00 pm : link
but if someone designed these from scratch and proposed this be the new uniform I'd think they were on acid.
I love them. It's history.  
smshmth8690 : 5/16/2024 1:09 pm : link
I bet many hating on it, are the same people that love the yearly click-bait posts that 're-imagine' every NFL teams helmet.
They grow on you  
Giantology : 5/16/2024 1:10 pm : link
like a fungus
I think it's awesome  
SteelGiant : 5/16/2024 1:10 pm : link
People complain about everything these days.

I just hope we play better than we do in the red jerseys. Actually, I just hope we play better period.

Everyone will love the jerseys if we kick ass the games we wear them.
RE: I like the jersey, the helmet is ok, the gold pants….

Gold? I thought it was beige? Either way I agree it’s downright hideous
Throw it into the fires of Mount Doom

along with the red alternates. Let us never speak of these abominations ever again.
Once is fine  
Blueworm : 5/16/2024 1:15 pm : link
No more though.
Ugh. Please throw it back.  
David B. : 5/16/2024 1:15 pm : link
And someone remind the Giants and the league that they're called BIG BLUE for a fucking reason.
The ONLY old unis I'd like them to go back too  
David B. : 5/16/2024 1:22 pm : link
Are the 80s Simms/Taylor glory years where Red was a nice, minimal ACCENT color. Use white pants, and replace the NY with the old GIANTS logo on the newer, metallic blue helmet and call it a day.




Stop with all this RED. You're NOT the fucking Montreal Canadians.
Anybody else worry for a second that

With the Black cleats!  
RELICDOA : 5/16/2024 1:23 pm : link
100% the best throwback uni’s of any team! I can’t wait to see these!! Have they announced the games they will be wearing these? I want to be there!

I love the red jerseys! They didn’t get much love either! Not sure that fans understand this is our history and not just some stab at a different look! Give me a different year throwback each year! I’m all for it!
I like ‘em  
MadPlaid : 5/16/2024 1:26 pm : link
Very different, but really a throwback. A true homage.

Looking forward to seeing what they look like in game action.

I saw that to and did a double-take. Good God! Is he like the team's pinup model now or something?

100 year anniversary by donning clown suits. Yep, the way things are going these days that seems about right.

SomeFan : 5/16/2024 2:22 pm : link
I hate uniforms where the numbers have outlines/piping around them.

It looks a lot classier / cooler WITHOUT that 1970s Oakland A's piping bullshit. I know it was there in the Parcells years but I find those uniforms uninspiring.
The gold pants ruin it.  
Giants Fan in Steelers Land : 5/16/2024 2:31 pm : link
Just do that uni with white or gray pants (anything but niner's gold) and it can still be a nod to history and not look like shit.

I like the helmets...  
Amtoft : 5/16/2024 2:44 pm : link
better than the one red stripe down the middle which I hate. I like the Jerseys also a really nice throw back. BUT those pants man. Isn't there any other pants in our history that we can honor hahaha
