The New York Giants will be celebrating the franchise's 100th season in 2024, and are celebrating the monumentous occassion with a special "Century Red" throwback uniform.

The uniforms pay homage to the Giants of the past, with a winged helmet from the franchise's 1938 championship team, red jerseys with a blue accent from the team's appearance in the first-ever NFL Championship Game, aand red socks with blue and white stripes from the inaugural season in 1925.

Oh, and there are some tan pants.

The Giants will wear the throwbacks at least twice this season.

Immediately after the uniform was unveiled, NFL Twitter began roasting the Giants for the unusual look.

It's a movie plot where a group of preppy athlete rejects find these uniforms in a dumpster and form their own college football team. Starring Jim Carrey as the QB. https://t.co/e8U8pCzHjX pic.twitter.com/4NW0j6STZR

Naturally, some fans noticed the similarities between the Giants' monstrosity and the Montreal Canadiens. Several tweets compared the uniforms to those of the Habs.

Now, it's not nice to kick someone while they are down. But this is the Giants. Naturally, the Dallas Cowboys faithful were among those to pile one, and hopefully, the G-Men will bring these to Dallas for the Cowboys' Thanksgiving feast.

As long as they don't bring Shane Falco...
