The Minnesota Vikings debuted their alternate uniforms on Thursday, the same day the Giants announced when they will be debuting theirs — and it happens to be against the Vikings in the season opener.
The game is scheduled for Sept. 8 with a noon CT kickoff as the Vikings travel to the Meadowlands. The Giants will wear their “Century Red” uniforms, which commemorate the franchise’s 100th season.

The Giants’ uniform combo has received good and bad reviews. They belong as a costume prop for a George Clooney leather helmet football movie, but it will make for interesting viewing in Week 1.
The Vikings, meanwhile, will wear their “Winter Warrior” alternate uniforms on Dec. 16 against the Chicago Bears. The reaction to those was very positive, and they might be the best alternate combo in the NFL.
That same discussion is not happening for these Giants uniforms we will be subjected to.
