You know what really grinds my gears?

I want to buy an authentic Celtics home jersey but for some reason it's essentially not available.

What type of global sports league doesn't offer home jersey's that the players wear?

The NBA App...that thing is still horrible! How can an organisation that brings in 10 billion dollars a season have such a buggy piece of crap?!

A league that is outfitted by Nike, who have zero interest in tradition.

Russell - Cowens - Bird - Garnett

The Four Celtic Lieutenants:

I ponied up for a city edition sweatshirt.  I really like that logo this year.  But they’re definitely focused on expanding the merchandising with new looks for every occasion.  Traditional not so much…
Yup

I bought a Red Sox hoodie after the team won their 1st World Series in almost a century to celebrate their victory. I don’t wear it that often because it faded terribly and the stitching was failing after just a few washes. I probably wore it less than 50 times in the almost 20 years since then. It mostly just hangs in my closet as a souvenir. Not worth the $150 I spent on it compared to the Costco hoodie I bought for $16 and wore at least 200 times a year for 7 years before it started falling.

I might as well have been the guy signing Carl Crawford to a big deal.
