The Boston Celtics 2024-25 City Edition jerseys were recently revealed online, along with the city jerseys of the other 29 NBA teams. As part of their partnership with the NBA, Nike gives each NBA team a new City Edition jersey every season. These City jerseys, as the name suggests, are meant to represent the city of each NBA team and provide a different, fresh look compared to a team’s regular home and away uniforms. However, this year’s City jerseys received a divisive reception from Celtics fans.
Boston Celtics City Jerseys
The Boston Celtics 2024-25 City Edition jerseys are black with a light green, almost neon stripe and text. The green stripe along the side is in a diagonal, V-shaped pattern. A dark green stripe is also going down the side, overlapped by the light green, with dark green around the neck and shoulders. The Celtics have worn black jerseys before, as recently as last season with their black alternate jerseys. These jerseys were the same design as their home and away jerseys, but black with green text and numbers.
These new City jerseys have not received a positive response from Celtics fans. Many have called the jersey planned and overly simple. Also, the jersey does not do enough to set it apart from the other Boston Celtics jerseys. The black color makes it hard to differentiate from the black alternate jerseys and the jersey’s design and font do not do much to stand out.
In the past, the Boston Celtics City jerseys have used different colors, designs, or fonts to make the uniform pop. The 2022-23 City Edition jerseys were dark green with a cursive font that had the numbers on the upper chest instead of the middle. In 2023-24, the City jerseys were white and had a dark green text that arched over the chest. These jerseys, while maybe not the greatest uniforms ever, did something different to stand out in ways that many believe the new City Edition jersey does not.
How to Improve the Boston Celtics Jerseys
One of the difficult aspects of coming out with a new City Edition jersey for every season is that the Boston Celtics home and away uniforms are some of the most iconic in NBA history. There is a reason the Boston Celtics have kept the same uniform and logo for as long as they have. The green and white are synonymous with the NBA, its history, and its success. These white and green jerseys are very simple. A clean white with blocky green text and numbers, or vice versa.
These jerseys are not doing anything crazy, and they don’t need to. The home and away jerseys should not be touched. However, the City Edition jerseys are where the designs can get a little more unpredictable. Slightly altering a font and adding stripes on the side left many Celtics fans wanting more from their new jerseys. Some suggestions have ranged from a bit of gold to honor the Celtics 18th championship, to more colors, designs, and fonts that represent the city of Boston.
Final Thoughts
These uniforms were revealed as the Boston Celtics 2024-25 City Edition jerseys. Many fans have voiced their displeasure with these jerseys, saying they are too simple. The uniforms do experiment a bit with a light green color, but other than that, it does not have much to differentiate it from the Celtics’ black alternate jerseys or their iconic white and green uniforms. Of course, no matter what uniform Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown, or Derrick White wear, it will not impact their play. But the new City Edition jerseys have gotten a divisive reaction.
