The Boston Celtics, reigning NBA champions, have officially launched their new City Edition uniforms as part of the league-wide program. These jerseys, revealed on November 14, 2024, are the latest in the City Edition series and are set to be worn for the first time in their game against the Toronto Raptors on Saturday.

According to the official press release, these Celtics Uniforms represent “Chapter Two” of a multi-year narrative. While last year’s City Edition jerseys focused on the historical legacy of Boston basketball, this year’s design shifts its gaze towards the future. This forward-thinking approach is evident in the uniform’s wordmark and number font, described as “future-forward” in their aesthetic.
One of the most striking aspects of the new Celtics uniforms is the departure from the traditional Celtics green for the wordmark and numbers. Instead, the team has opted for “action green,” a brighter, more vibrant, neon-like shade of green. This “action green” provides a modern twist to the classic Celtics color palette. Complementing this brighter shade is “pro-green,” a darker green that is also incorporated into the uniform design, offering a layered color scheme.
The side panels of the jerseys feature a unique design element referred to as the “weave.” This intricate pattern adds texture and visual interest to the uniform. Notably, the “weave” serves as a design link to the previous year’s City Edition uniforms, creating a sense of continuity within the multi-season City Edition program. This subtle connection ties the historical theme of the previous uniforms with the future-focused theme of the current edition.
The Boston Celtics’ City Edition uniforms for the 2024-25 season offer a bold and contemporary take on the team’s visual identity. By incorporating “action green” and “pro-green” alongside the “future-forward” font and “weave” side panel, these uniforms aim to represent a new chapter for the franchise while subtly nodding to the design of the previous City Edition. Fans can anticipate seeing these uniforms on court as the Celtics continue their championship defense.
