Gray was a terrible choice as were the sleeves. Looks like an early 90's corporate retreat T-shirt giveaway where everyone was stuck with 2 sizes too small.

  Funny. Sadly accurate, but funny.

Hate the gray t-shirt jerseys. Can't stand that they wore those at the Jazz game I went to last year, but I like the green and black regular jerseys. I think those and the St.Pattys ones are pretty sweet actually. I ordered my Smart jersey in that Green/Black combo custom because they didn't have it in the store.

I agree they suck. Could've been really cool, green on grey doesn't look bad at all.



Instead they go for white on grey!? Truly awful.

See, I think it's more about the t-shirt look than the gray.  The t's are goofy.  Not crazy about the gray uniforms, but they'd still be stupid looking no matter what color scheme with the T's.  Looks like a some bicyclists took a wrong turn and ended up on a basketball court.

Oh I agree that the t-shirts aren't cool but the NBA has decreed that every team must have a t-shirt jersey so it's a necessary evil. What isn't necessary is the crappy design that the Celtics brains trust have applied to these shirts. Also think that the t-shirts wouldn't look as bad if they were looser fitting but understand they need to be tight so the players' shooting action etc is not hindered.

Basically just think we could be making a bit better out of a bad situation! Maybe we'll see new ones next year, black would be a nice alternative IMO. Won't bother even hoping for the shirts to be banished, the NBA seems intent on all teams having them.

The shirts don't bother me much anymore. They have slowly grown on me. But They could look a lot better. Just get rid of those green parts on the shoulder and they would be better. The St. Pattys day ones are cool but I really don't like the green and black ones. Maybe they could ditch the green and black one and try to make a green and black shirt.

They aren't the worst sleeves uniforms or whatever but yeah sleeved uniforms are lame.  Also sucks when they are supposed to be the like honoring Celtic tradition look... that doesn't add up.

Looks sort of like underwear that could use a good bleaching.

  I'd agree, they look like they're playing in their practice jerseys. You'd expect to see them wear something similar in the summer league.

Agree...they definitely look like sweats.

As long as there's no "Los Celtics" or advertisements.

We all know the T-shirts are only being introduced so that way there's more advertising space.
Philly:

Anderson Varejao    Tiago Splitter    Matt Bonner
David West    Kenyon Martin    Brad Miller
Andre Iguodala    Josh Childress    Marquis Daniels
Dwyane Wade    Leandro Barbosa
Kirk Hinrich    Toney Douglas   + the legendary Kevin McHale

The grey uniforms look like a piece of turd, sleeves or no sleeves. Whoever thought they were a good idea was not a great designer.

I understand they want the look to stay "traditional" (whatever that's supposed to mean), but I would have much rather seen something new on that front than circulating color palettes through what looks like it is the same old blueprint.

I completely agree. It really pains me though because I absolutely LOVE the sleeved jersey look. I think Golden State, Houston, and OKC's sleeved jerseys are sharp as hell. I think a black and green design would look fantastic and would give a different look and the green would be an awesome contrast on the black. The grey is just ugly and it looks like they are out there playing some sort of lame office intramural basketball or something
