Have the Boston Celtics’ 2022-23 City Edition jerseys leaked?

Images and video are circulating online — but are they real (and good)?

Has yet another re-design of a Boston Celtics jersey leaked to the world? We have seen both video and photo evidence that this may be the case, with a bit of a mixed reaction to both from people commenting on how the supposed leak of the team’s 2022-23 “City Edition” jersey looks.

While some traditional elements are to be found in this jersey in the primarily green, white, gold, and black colorway the leak sports, the specific colors are off from those usually used in Celtics jerseys, with an almost cartoonish cursive font for the main text and side panels with a pea green color evoking the Milwaukee Bucks or even the Seattle Supersonics.

Sure to spark more contentious arguments about whether the jersey re-designs are too much, too many, or in good taste, we’ll be keeping an eye out for some concrete reporting that these are not, in fact, a hoax.
