Jerseys set for Games 1 – 4 of Boston Celtics – Atlanta Hawks first round series

Let’s take a look at the jerseys we will see on the court in Games 1 – 4.

The Boston Celtics and Atlanta Hawks are set to take the court to play the first of at least four games in their first round series in the 2023 NBA Eastern Conference Playoffs, and for at least those four contests, the Celtics and Hawks have their uniform choices set.

Selecting from each of the four uniforms put together by the folks at Nike behind the Association, City, Icon, and Statement official jersey designs, the folks in charge of making these seemingly minor decisions have made their selections. For now, just the minimum number of contests — four — from the potential seven games in the series now have corresponding uniform choices posted at the league’s Lockervision site.

No point picking uniforms for games that may not be played, we suppose (h/t SI’s Pat Benson). Let’s take a look at the jerseys we will see on the court in Games 1 – 4.

How do Boston’s City Edition jerseys stack up against the rest of the NBA?

Which are the very best and which are the worst City Editions that have been created for the 2022-23 NBA season?

The Boston Celtics have created some infamous City Edition jerseys (think the Enya Irish pub one) and some truly amazing ones, such as what Hall of Fame Celtics center Bill Russell helped design for this season. There are now 30 such designs on the market.

But which are the very best? And which are the worst City Editions that have been created for the 2022-23 NBA season? More importantly, where does Boston’s City Edition jersey rank against its peers?

The folks over at the Clutch Points YouTube channel recently put together a short video ranking every City Edition jersey in the NBA for 2022-23 (including the Celtics, of course).

Take a look at the clip embedded above to hear what they had to say.

What are the ugliest City Edition jerseys in the NBA?

And where do the Boston Celtics’ City Editions rank among them, if at all?

While this year’s NBA City Edition jerseys are a special sort given their touches by Hall of Fame Boston Celtics big man Bill Russell, the Celtics have put out some of the uglier City Edition jerseys in recent league memory.

The Enya-esque Celtics Pub City Editions in particular stand out as especially heinous iterations of the Association-wide jersey line of alternates the traditionalists among us despise, even if they have in many cases become quite popular. But where, compared to the most garish of City Edition jerseys, do the Celtics stack up, if at all? What are the ugliest City Edition jerseys in the NBA?

This is what the folks over at the “Buckets” podcast have been trying to answer, and they made a stab at it on a recent episode of their pod.

Take a look at the clip embedded above to see if you agree with which NBA team’s City Editions are the ugliest ones we can buy (warning — some explicit language).
