I guess they could be worse, really surprised with how disappointed I’ve been with Nike.
Isn’t yellow part of the original Celtics logo? Like the Red signature.
I'm not sure they'll necessarily be worn in the playoffs. The earned jerseys were given to the 16 teams that made the playoffs last year. I do know that they'll supposedly be wearing them on Xmas day, though.
Either way, I hate 'em.
This is a bad Christmas Day jersey. I like when they had the red outlining and the snowflake around the NBA logo.
Disappointed in Nike ?
They are notorious for ruining traditional uniforms, pro & college.
Nike couldn't care any less about tradition. Quite the contrary.
As for the yellow - the Celts have traditionally had the yellow (or gold) trim in their old warmups, which I greatly miss, but not in their uniforms.
I liked what Nike was doing with the jerseys back in the early 2000’s before Adidas took over exclusively.
And yeah maybe yellow wasn’t on their jerseys, but it’s one of their team colors. Just like black was never part of the uniform until it was, or the grey sleeved jerseys from a couple seasons ago.
I don’t mind adding an alternate here or there (like those St. Patty’s Day jerseys in the Pierce era), as long as they usually wear their customary home white and road green jerseys.
