I dunno. Last year's pajamas were pounded by most people.

I actually didn't hate them as much as everyone else.

I think these ones are an improvement. But grey again? WHHHYYYYY?

Leave your complaints here!

Grey is blend and not a Celtic color in my opinion. They should have done a green jersey with black letters and numbers reversing their alternate jerseys.
Let's Go Celtics!!

Yeah, the grey is awful.

Don't like the grey much...Celtic colors are green and white period. At least grey is not the ugly black...black has no place on Celtic uniforms ever.

I like these better than the gray sleeved jerseys of last season, but I still think gray just sin't a good color for the Celtics and doesn't work.

TP. Have hated all the grey unis. And on top of that does that mean no St. Patty's Day unis? I have loved the mostly green and gold lettering unis. Gotta have some gold for the leprechauns on St. Patrick's Day.

Also known as "last year's alternate jerseys". They weren't great.

Does anybody else remember the throwbacks they wore the first season with KG ('07-08)?  Basically, the '60s road jerseys where the green was shinier & the Boston was curved?   

Those were pretty sweet.

I must be mistaken then, because I thought the only difference between the C's modern road jerseys and those throwbacks was the fact they said "Boston" instead of "Celtics".

Add me to the list of those who hate the grey jerseys.

I also love the St Patty's jerseys, I hope they kept those. In fact, I'd make those the primary alternate jersey. I might even be interested to see what an inverse take on that would look like, i.e. a gold jersey with green lettering. I'd ditch all the other alternates, especially any of the versions that feature black coloring or lettering.

The font & the curvature of the "Boston" are different.  I thought the shade of green was lighter too but not real clear from this.

Found a pic. I knew there was an SI cover.

My favorite alternates are the (somewhat obscure) 2012 Christmas edition uniforms. Minus the red headband, perhaps.

Hate 'em.  They need to stop messing with the Celtics jersey.  It's the best basketball jersey period - and that's not a Celtic bias, it was voted as such across NBA fans.

As a matter of fact, I even hate the new Nike jerseys.  The white stripe around the armholes is cut off at the back of the jersey, which looks a lot worse in my opinion than the original C's jersey (where the stripe goes all the way around the armhole).

Nike jersey:


Original jersey:


At least the sleeved jerseys appear to be dead though.

The classic home and road jerseys we have are the best.  No need for anything else.
