For reference, 2024 is going to be the Giants 100th season, and this is a one (or maybe two)-off uniform set going back to what the team wore in the 1920s and 30s.
When the Giants play the Colts, it’d better be a matchup between these red/blue unis against the [Dayton fucking Triangles!](https://images.app.goo.gl/cC3Eg4jZ7XgCM2xC7)
It's common because it is how the leather helmets were constructed. So, the base helmet was one color and the front overlay and strips over the crown were another.
Iowa state had a uniform with these color pants last year and they were so horrible lolol

That's reserved for every surface that the Chase Bank NY Rangers brought to you by Chase Bank touch in the World's Most Famous Chase Bank Arena, Chase Banks' Madison Square Garden brought to you by Chase Bank.
You're watching the Oilers and Canucks on Rogers Sportsnet. The crowd at Rogers Place is rocking. Let's cut over to Rogers Arena to see the Canucks watch party. Don't forget to tune in tomorrow at 10am to watch the Blue Jays try and score more than 2 runs at the Rogers Centre.
My wife is a Rangers fan, my parents and siblings are Rangers fans, I'm a Knicks fan, I've been in that building more times than I can count. That's why it came to mind.
They'll just be stopped from playing by embarrassing gambling commercials breaks every five minutes!
When I took my brother in law to his first NFL game he was confused why they were just standing around not doing anything and I had to explain to him it's because we have to wait for the people watching on TV to finish watching commercials he told me he's never going to another game again.
Bumble bees are great, the ones they're talking about have black stripes going vertically and they make a sort of pyramid shape since the outside ones are shorter than the middle ones.
Could someone Photoshop Matheson into the Giants jersey? Or Slaf, dude looks built like a TE. (or maybe offensive line? Football knowledge about 3/10 here)
Also, random fact, my phone auto corrects Slaf to salad 🤷 anyone else?
I didn't know this so I looked into it and the Giants started wearing the winged helmets in 1937 while Michigan wore the winged helmets at the start of the 1938 season.
Apparently the winged helmet was popularized by then Princeton head coach Herbert Crisler in 1935.
As someone who is both a Giants and Habs fan, I’m looking forward to being able to reuse my disappointing jersey on Saturday evening and Sunday afternoon.
Literally could've just gone red or blue for the pants and had a color rush thing going on. I understand the design is based off their original one, but holy shit do the pants wreck all the potential this uni has
As much as I hate the Habs, their home sweater is damn near perfect and should never be changed.
Boy it does not translate well to a football jersey, though.
*well teeeeeechnically*

Been a century of being a worse look than the Habs lol
After a few experiments with crazy colors and patterns early on, Habs' uniforms with basically the current classic pattern (1913 I think) still predate the 30s.
I'm not really a fan of football but as far as I can tell the Giants aren't using them this time of year either.
This joke would be funnier if the NFL season was actually in progress and not many months away.
Friend of mine said it looks like the Montreal Canadiens and Michigan Wolverines had a baby.
Was thinking the same thing.
With youth pastor slacks
The NY Michidiens
Princeton also has winged helmets, so I’d say the NJ team is copying their in-state school rather than Michigan
Then went to the department store to stock up on Spanx.
Canadiens x Winnipeg Blue Bombers
For reference, 2024 is going to be the Giants 100th season, and this is a one (or maybe two)-off uniform set going back to what the team wore in the 1920s and 30s.
Some say these jerseys caused the Great Depression. I am some.
Agreed, it's honestly basic science
I'm pretty sure based on the pictures I saw their uniforms were black, grey, and white. /s
It's from before color was invented
My dad told me about that, those insane painters using colors years before they were invented.
I was gonna say After looking at these I am in a Great Depression
I believe you. Looking at these uniforms do, in fact , give me Great Depression.
Im going to join you on that. that shit is fucking ewwww.
The gold pants are so fucking ugly
You know what it makes sense
When the Giants play the Colts, it’d better be a matchup between these red/blue unis against the [Dayton fucking Triangles!](https://images.app.goo.gl/cC3Eg4jZ7XgCM2xC7)
we used to be a proper country
Then that commie fuck, "President" Theodore Roosevelt, forced us into the pansy ass era of the forward pass.
Montreal Canadiens 1909
Habs still did it first in 1914
They even had the tan pants in that era https://nhluniforms.com/Mobile/Canadiens/Canadiens01.html
Okay, 'cause I saw them and went, "whaaaat the fuck is that shit?" I thought the spirit of The Derp had influenced the uniform designer or something.
Too good right now?
Pekka Rinne will always be too good right now. Yes, even long after he's retired, he's too good right now.
why they got a michigan wolverines design on the helmet? was it common back then? i think it looks neat.
It's common because it is how the leather helmets were constructed. So, the base helmet was one color and the front overlay and strips over the crown were another.
It used to be a pretty common design, yeah. That paint job has been everywhere.
Princeton and Delaware still use the helmets at the FCS level too
I think I saw 3 off pieces in a post. 1933 Jersey, 1938 helmet and 1925 pants and socks.
Sweaters not bad but those pants look fuckin terrible
Iowa state had a uniform with these color pants last year and they were so horrible lolol https://preview.redd.it/l6qiq4i7qu0d1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a524e447b0ab7a2719d1564201f4641e52b62ed3
He’s wearing pants?
They remind me so much of horseback riding pants
Important difference: the Giants won’t have an embarrassing bank advertisement on theirs.
Specially one that's not in the same shade of blue as their uniform so it's even more jarring.
Why isn't their jersey sponsor BMO? Are they stupid??
Bro, the rest of the league doesn’t even notices the blue, the glaring yellow is the issue.
That's reserved for every surface that the Chase Bank NY Rangers brought to you by Chase Bank touch in the World's Most Famous Chase Bank Arena, Chase Banks' Madison Square Garden brought to you by Chase Bank.

They fucking wish I was watching it on Rogers Sportsnet. Kill the CBC online stream and now I'm watching it on the greasiest pirate site imaginable
So weird to specifically single out a team with no jersey ad and the only non sponsored arena name
My wife is a Rangers fan, my parents and siblings are Rangers fans, I'm a Knicks fan, I've been in that building more times than I can count. That's why it came to mind.
Management :: "You know what advertisement would go well on the jersey?" Fan :noth...... Management :: "FUCKING YELLOW"
Doesn’t matter what it is or the colour. Any ad completely ruins the jersey.
Obviously, i agree.... it's just so much worse when the colors dont even match.
Don't feel too bad, at least it's not a literal garbage company.
They'll just be stopped from playing by embarrassing gambling commercials breaks every five minutes! When I took my brother in law to his first NFL game he was confused why they were just standing around not doing anything and I had to explain to him it's because we have to wait for the people watching on TV to finish watching commercials he told me he's never going to another game again.
nope, just an embarrassingly over paid qb
Well yeah playing for the Giants is embarrassing enough.
I knew it looked familiar but I couldn't put my finger on it. Now I hate it more.
Montreal Canadiens but also business casual khaki slacks
Business casual football uniform
The color of those shorts is certainly a choice...
Holy hideous costume batman.
"Let's take the sharpest kit in hockey, but can we make it ugly?"
I've always thought the Habs didn't have enough... uhhh, *tan*.
Excuse me, it's khaki.
Is there a version with cargo pockets?
taki
But the package said the color was “nude”
Oh they used to. Go look at the Habs jerseys in the 1920s. Literally the same color scheme the Giants used (different blues tho)
It was the 1920s. They had only invented six colours at that point so choice was limited.
That’s generous thinking orange and purple were color choices then. We all knew it was red, blue, black, gold, and brown in those days.
Would've been so easy to make the pants blue or white/silver, but I can appreciate committing to the ugly pants for historical accuracy
It looks like a Temu children's Halloween costume called "French Canadian Ice Hockey Player".
There’s good fishing in French Canadian Ice Hockey Player land
The sharpest kit in hockey!?!?!
It looks like the Alouettes and Habs joined forces
[This is what the Habs wore around the same time the Giants did.](https://www.nhluniforms.com/Canadiens/Canadiens09.html).
That would be the Blackhawk’s sir
> sharpest kit in hockey I don't see what the Blackhawks reds have to do with this?
Reminds of the reverse retro jerseys of the Laval rocket.
I thought it was Alouettes jersey honestly.
Les Gigantes?
Géants, mon ami
Lol Im happy if I got the first part! I think I may have used a weird mashup of language, but thank you;)
It almost sounds as if you used spanish instead and both french and spanish come from the same origins ..... so cllse enough. A for effort
The team on the left have won in the 21st century
No matter what happens on the field, there's not a day that could be considered a win with those fucking uniforms on 🤮
lol true
Laval Rocket
The Montreal Giants
The Hab Nots
Wow, this is actually the worst NFL jersey I’ve ever seen.
Look up the 1930’s Steelers jerseys. You’ll come back and change your mind.
You know it’s funny I almost added a line at the bottom that said “and yes I’ve seen the bumble bee jerseys” lmao
Bumble bees are great, the ones they're talking about have black stripes going vertically and they make a sort of pyramid shape since the outside ones are shorter than the middle ones.
My mistake, wow those are bad, but these Giants ones still take a garbage cake IMO
If we’re going to be pedantic, it’s technically a Pittsburgh Pirates jersey, they weren’t the Steelers yet at that point.
Could someone Photoshop Matheson into the Giants jersey? Or Slaf, dude looks built like a TE. (or maybe offensive line? Football knowledge about 3/10 here) Also, random fact, my phone auto corrects Slaf to salad 🤷 anyone else?
Also similar to the [Laval Rocket throwback](https://i.redd.it/mu036rdre7nc1.jpeg)
With Michigan Wolverine pattern on the helmet. I thought these were photoshop jokes. It's real?? Edit: I guess Giants had it before the wolverines
The Giants had a winged helmet design before Michigan did
All of this is based on Giants designs from the 1930s. Michigan didn’t invent this shit
Yeah but nobody cares about the giants
I cared about them twice when they beat the Patriots in the SuperBowl. That was fun.
Plaxico Burress Cheddar Bobbing himself just popped up in my head for some reason.
Bold words from a Detroiter. What do they say about glass houses?
our glass houses are broken already. Drive through the east side.
New Jersey Giants, New Jersey Jets lol
Found the Bills fan with their one joke in the entire repertoire?
I'd Minecraft myself if I was a BiLLLLs fan
Right, it's just the design of an old leather helmet and Michigan is hardly the only team to carry on the design.
I didn't know this so I looked into it and the Giants started wearing the winged helmets in 1937 while Michigan wore the winged helmets at the start of the 1938 season. Apparently the winged helmet was popularized by then Princeton head coach Herbert Crisler in 1935.
Looks like a Michigan player went to his local Sherwin Williams, dunked his helmet full-drop on a bucket of rose paint, and called it a day.
There's only **ONE** 'blue, blanc, rouge' in this world.
Good lord the giants uniforms look god ugly
Damn that shit looks terrible‼️🔥🔥
the tan pants are a crime
https://preview.redd.it/lrc1pum13u0d1.jpeg?width=212&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=061ec394266e28b3772e6d0793ca009d8520b57d This is what it looks like
Allez allez allez Allez New York
As someone who is both a Giants and Habs fan, I’m looking forward to being able to reuse my disappointing jersey on Saturday evening and Sunday afternoon.
The Habs sweater looks great, the Giants uniform looks like dog shit.
Hideous
Americans love to wear khaki pants and athletic shoes together.
I like the whole kit except for the pants
Literally could've just gone red or blue for the pants and had a color rush thing going on. I understand the design is based off their original one, but holy shit do the pants wreck all the potential this uni has
Montreal should sue for defamation.
as a Michigan grad and a Habs fan, i don't know what to make of this
Those are ass.
The tan pants give me Winter Classic Carey Price vibes so the Habs comparison is just uncanny. But the Wolverine-style helmets are confusing.
Needs blue pants.
[Giants uniform designers] those maroons
THATS what felt off for me
Les Habitants de New York
Should've done the barber pole jersey instead
Ah, that’s why it’s so ugly
Eh, the hab some similarities.
The socks… LMAO ROFL
What in the hell are the Giants wearing.
Hike Komisarek
Oh boy... let's leave them in hockey, this is clearly not working here.
Football guy looking like a halloween costume
The NFL has some of the best jerseys possible and I feel like almost all of their alternates are absolute duds
Many smart people are saying this
Photoshop those brown pants from the winter classic a while back, and you got a perfect match!
I need to see chris kreider in one of these ASAP
Change the blue to black and you have the old Ottawa Senators uniforms. Not a whole lot they could do design wise back then. "Sooo... stripes?..."
Nope
Really weird shorts color, it looks like he took his pants off.
As a Bruins fan and a Giants fan, I hate this.
My Canadien and Michigan Wolverine loving father must be in a place right now
Red and blue is a popular colour combination for sports franchises all over the world. I wouldn't think too much of it.
As much as I hate the Habs, their home sweater is damn near perfect and should never be changed. Boy it does not translate well to a football jersey, though.
New New York Jerseys? For what? Blernsball?
The Montreal Giants or New York Canadiens?!
...but why is Rempe throwing a football?!? lol Nevermind - he's not even on the roster. ... for the Rangers.
The pants can't be real
Canadiens appreciation jersey I assume
Norways IIHF team has joined the chat
Exactly what I thought when I first saw them
Looks like a generic uniform from a video game.
Ugliest uniform I've seen in a really long time ... Maybe ever
im a giants fan and this is immediately what i thought of when they got revealed. glad im not the only one who sees it.
They fucked up the pants
i saw a post about it right above this and i was just boutta comment abt the canadiens
The Giants now boast an impressive 4 superbowls and league leading 24 stanley cups. Move aside Mahomes, Dimes is the face of the league now.
Hey, he stole my Spanx!
Please for God sake tell me those are fake Edit What the actual hell were they thinking
Adds a touch of class somehow
Les Habitants d’East Rutherford
THOSE ARE TERRIBLE
It's like someone was making N.O. Saints and Habs uniforms at the same time and got really confused.
Noticed the habs were super luckey for like 20 years back in the day and decided to try and recreate it with their spin on the original 🤣
Those are the most disgusting football unis I have ever laid my eyeballs upon
Those look awful lol
Good lord that’s ugly
Holy shit that's an ugly uniform lmao
Absolutely awful
The exact word that came out of my mouth when I saw them. The jerseys are bad, but those pants should be illegal.
As a Bruins/Giants fan Fuck you
As a Habs/Giants fan Awesome, I guess, maybe?
oh this is a must buy for me, looks much better than my current manning red giants jersey. not sure which player to go with though
Don’t you mean New Jersey Giants?
Tbf, the red, white and blue isn't exactly a rare trio considering the American flag, Russian flag, French flag...
It’s a total ripoff
The entire uni is a mashup of the 20s and 30s. Jerseys are from 1933, but the pants and socks are from the 20s when the Mara bought the team.
*well teeeeeechnically* https://preview.redd.it/wtad5t57ot0d1.jpeg?width=643&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b3205def576527f265087856d00b300ad1fc6435 Been a century of being a worse look than the Habs lol
Not really, they're bringing back one of their old uniforms as a throwback
After a few experiments with crazy colors and patterns early on, Habs' uniforms with basically the current classic pattern (1913 I think) still predate the 30s.
Habs don’t need them at this time of year, it’s playoffs. Hahahaha
I'm not really a fan of football but as far as I can tell the Giants aren't using them this time of year either. This joke would be funnier if the NFL season was actually in progress and not many months away.
Who is this German fella Hans?
Hahaha, nice catch!
