The new Bill Russell-inspired Boston Celtics City Edition uniform for the 2022-23 season which will be debuted on opening night against the Philadelphia 76ers has been revealed.
The uniform is inspired by Boston’s Slade’s Bar & Grill, which was owned by Russell in the 1960s. There are also 11 gold diamonds on the sides of the uniform, signifying the number of championships Russell won with the Celtics.
Russell’s league-wide retired number 6 features on the belt buckle of the shorts, surrounded by more diamonds. The diamonds are overlayed on black trim, which features the famed Celtics parquet floor tonally.
