slapshot Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 I like it. I think it goes well with the soon-to-be-revealed alt jersey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshawaggie Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 interseting, these may look good with that rumored jersey. This may not be so bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
creativelysain Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 Those are the same style as UNC's throwback shorts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sourbelly Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 Normally, I hate it when teams arbitrary add black to their uniforms, but these look very nice. The shamrock really pops against the black. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buster04 Posted February 25, 2005 Author Share Posted February 25, 2005 I personally think the celts are one of a few teams that should not be messed with Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rbripley Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 The end of an era. Some will be thankful and others will mourn its passing...Personally, I agree with a previous poster that the Celtics shouldn't be toyed with this way. It's like the Yankees... the brand is rock solid and transcends fads.At the very least it will be interesting to see the general reaction to the entire alt uniform the club has come up with.

KCScout76 Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 Actually, IMO I think they are nice looking, only thing I'd change is white around the Shamrock. Sharp looking bottoms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_cynic Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 Those look kick @$$. Of course, they're the Celtics. They have one of the best uniforms and identity packages in the NBA! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

schtee Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 no way. call me a traditionalist all you want, but those are terrible. i wouldn't mind a celts alternate per se, but black? it's never been one of their colours so why now all of a sudden? n.w.a. was popular 14 years ago, can we move past sports teams trying to go gangsta? even the l.a. kings gave up the ghost.how about incorporating some orange for a third jersey, aka real irish colours.

slapshot Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 Black is in the team's logo. It's part of the outline around the leprechaun and his shoes.Just because a team adds black doesn't mean it's trying to go gangsta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's part of the outline around the leprechaun and his shoes.Just because a team adds black doesn't mean it's trying to go gangsta. It's definitely a debatable point. I'll present my side.Until the 90's the Raiders were one of the few pro teams to prominently use the color black. N.W.A., and other gangsta rap groups heavily rocked Raiders and Kings gear as part of a generally black-colored wardrobe. The Raiders and Kings were adopted by other gangsta rap groups and gangs themselves. Kids followed suit, and this was one factor, arguably a main factor, in the flood of pro teams adding black to their color schemes. And my bad, the leprechaun is indeed wearing black pants, but they are the Celtics, their jerseys have always been green and white, their logo features light orange/yellow until their 50th anniversary when the logo featured gold. I just don't envision black as part of a Celtic/Irish color scheme. green, white, orange. Somehow I can't imagine Celtic of Glasgow rocking a black alternate. and for the record, I love gangsta rap.

newsenterprise Posted February 28, 2005 Share Posted February 28, 2005 I don't think if the Utah Jazz added a predominantly black jersey they would be going gangsta.Gangsta in the land of 10 million Mormons? Come on ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
