New Boston Celtics Uniform Design Leaks Out (Photo)
The Boston Celtics are one of the two greatest franchises in NBA history. With 17 league titles to their name, the respect typically bestowed upon the organization is both understandable and justified.
That said – even the Celtics can have missteps. One such misstep? Their apparent design for their 2020-21 City Jersey Edition uniforms.
This week, the uniform mock-ups made their way online and were immediately endlessly scrutinized by the team’s fans.
Reactions from fans were merciless.
If these are the city jerseys whoever came up with the design should be fired https://t.co/5BD2ppOH0n

Interested concept but this might be up there for the most boring/bland jersey in all sports https://t.co/5AdtG7HZdI

I get the legacy aspect, but for once I just want a stylish or vice kind of jersey. Don’t underestimate the color green. #Celtics https://t.co/FaLvUH3Hdn

If this is the final design, I have to admit I’ll be disappointed. I would’ve expected a little more than something that looks like our Summer League jerseys. But, the meaning of the jersey makes up for it, and I have to say, they’ll look pretty clean. https://t.co/Q4ljOgh7xa

Obviously it hasn’t been confirmed yet that this is the real design, but if it is, it’s hard to see how all parties involved don’t go back to the drawing board after getting such a negative reaction.
