To mark their 100th anniversary, the Giants have unveiled an alternate uniform that harkens back to the team’s past. The new “Century Red” look is a departure from the modern era uniforms we are used to seeing. The red jerseys feature a blue midsection underneath white numbers, with a special 100th season patch on the upper left. These jerseys replicate those worn by the Giants in 1933, when they made it to the first NFL Championship Game.
In addition to the jerseys, the Giants will be wearing tan pants with red and blue striped socks that pay homage to their 1925 uniforms. They will also be sporting alternate helmets that resemble the winged helmets worn by Michigan, but in the Giants’ colors of red and blue. This design is a nod to the leather helmets the team wore during the 1938 season.
The Giants plan to wear these throwback uniforms for up to two games this season and it is expected to generate strong reactions from fans and spectators alike. This unique and historic look is sure to add to the excitement of their 100th anniversary celebrations.
