New York Giants fans have mixed reactions to ‘Century Red’ uniforms, middling 2024 expectations
We offered New York Giants fans polls on a pair of timely topics on Thursday — how they think the team will fare now that the 2024 NFL schedule is official and how they feel about the ‘Century Red’ throwback jerseys the team unveiled.
The results don’t show a lot of positivity on either front.
In our season-record poll, 40% (1,002) of 2,496 voters said the Giants would win eight or nine games. Another 37% (928) said the team would win six or seven games. A discouraged 13% (322) said the Giants would win five games or fewer. Only an optimistic 10% (244) thought the team could win 10 or more games.
