My "fashion outcast" review of the new Celtics City Jersey

Image
By

 Let me start by affirming that I have always been known as a guy that has no knowledge of fashion. But the Boston Celtics 2024-25 "City Jerseys" are horrid. And so are most of the city jerseys "designed" for the other NBA teams.


Let me state again that I am not one entitled to be a fashion critic. I wore "Snap Jacks" for footwear in the 1950's - but didn't like them. I had to wear bell-bottom pants for a while since there was no other choice. I love my Celtics but despise this shirt. This writer from Raptor City (Toronto) rated it the worst of the lot, calling it "terrible".

"I’ll keep it short — this is one of the worst jerseys I’ve ever seen in my life. It looks like someone made it in a word doc. I won’t even associate Canva with this because it’s so bad. I’ve never been so bored looking at a jersey. The colour does not even match the Celtics usual branding, because this colour more closely resembles Mountain Dew or a green highlighter. I have second hand embarrassment for the city of Boston right now. You win a chip and THIS is your big follow up? Terrible."

Boston is not alone. These jerseys are meant to honor the host cities for the various NBA teams, and they fall short.

My favorite Celtics jersey? You can see it below. It was worn by The Green for three consecutive seasons, starting in 2017. If you don't agree, please be kind with your rebuttal. I have already confessed to having always been a fashion outcast. Do you remember Snap Jacks? Check out the last photo.

In defense of Marcus Smart

By
 Let me make it clear first of all that I am totally against making a threat of any kind that even hints at harming, or certainly killing, another human being. Marcus Smart was wrong in doing so in the Celtics loss to the tanking Oklahoma City Thunder , and he deserved the one-game suspension. But to be honest, part of me loved that it occurred. . This type of thing can happen when a player gets to a point "beyond frustration" and is having a bad game. Marcus and his teammates have been under-performing generally - were in the process of losing to a pathetic-and-tanking Thunder team - and Smart was having a bad game . And he let loose verbally at the closest target - an NBA official. Wilt Chamberlain did a similar act versus referee, Earl Strom when Wilt was having his usual tortuous time at the free throw line (per Chicago Tribune's Sam Smith): ''He was in one of those 1-for-13s,'' recalls referee Earl Strom. ''Nothing was getting close. S

One of those sources is Wikipedia, as seen below: Kevin McHale American basketball player DescriptionKevin Edward McHale is an American retired basketball player who played his entire professional career for the Boston Celtics. He is a Basketball Hall of Fame inductee, and is regarded as one of the best power forwards of all time. He was named to the NBA's 50th Anniversary All-Time Team. Wikipedia Born: December 19, 1957 (age 61 years), Hibbing, MN Wingspan: 8′ 0″ Height: 6′ 10″ Spouse: Lynn McHale (m. 1982) NBA draft: 1980, Boston Celtics (Round: 1 / Pick: 3) Hall of fame induction: 1999 Number: 32 (Boston Celtics / Power forward, Center) Kevin was listed at 6'10" tall when he was drafted with the 3rd pick in the 1980 draft.
