The New York Giants will be wearing special “Century Red” uniforms for up to two games during the 2024 NFL season as a way to commemorate their 100th season. The uniform pays homage to the early years of the franchise, incorporating elements from different eras in the team’s history.
The uniform features blue and white striped red socks from the Giants’ inaugural 1925 season, red jerseys with blue accents from their 1933 NFL championship-winning season, and a blue and red winged helmet to honor the 1938 title. The tan pants date back to the Giants’ first season in 1925 after Tim Mara bought the team. “The Century Red uniform puts a modern twist on some of our earliest uniforms and is worn to honor the players who laid the foundation of Giants football,” said Giants director of creative services Doug Murphy.
In addition to the special uniforms, the Giants will also wear a “100 Seasons” patch on their jerseys. The design of the patch includes references to the Polo Grounds, where the franchise first played, old Giants Stadium, and a football named “The Duke” in honor of Wellington Mara. This patch serves as a reminder of the team’s history and success in the NFL.
While specific games have not yet been announced, it is expected that these uniforms will be worn against historical rivals such as Dallas Cowboys or Philadelphia Eagles. The Giants kick off their 2024 season against Minnesota Vikings on September 8 at MetLife Stadium.
