The color of the jersey has been likened to a ‘Milwaukee Bucks green,’ with gold and black accents alongside what appears to be Bill Russell’s collection of championship rings on the side panels.
According to the Celtics, this is a project that the league and team had been collaborating on with Russell himself in recent years – which they will wear a total of 12 times this season.
Boston will wear the uniform for six home games and six road games and opening night will headline the first of two dedicated Bill Russell tribute games celebrating the Celtics legend with a series of special activities.
The Celtics are the Vegas favorites to win back-to-back Eastern Conference titles in NBA betting at a price of +275, ahead of the 2021 champions Milwaukee Bucks.
