The Boston Celtics today unveiled their 2020-21 Earned Edition uniform, designed exclusively for the 16 teams that
qualified for the 2020 NBA Playoffs. This uniform set, which will first be worn on March 19 vs. Sacramento, marks
the team’s fifth and final combination for the 2020-21 season.
While this season’s Earned Edition uniform carries over a series of notable components from various uniforms
throughout the team’s collection, including the traditional ‘Celtics’ wordmark, standard shamrock on the belt
buckle, and the Vistaprint jersey patch on the left shoulder, it also features an enhanced version of the
franchise’s iconic color scheme. Three separate shades of green are projected through the uniform body and trim,
marking the first time the team has ever featured three shades of green on a single uniform. As an additional nod to
the team’s pursuit of an NBA championship, the Earned Edition uniform is adorned with special silver insignias
including a silver Nike swoosh on the top left front of the uniform, a silver Earned Edition jocktag on the bottom
right front, and a silver NBA logo on the back, above the player’s name.
The Earned Edition uniforms will be available to fans at retail beginning on Thursday, March 18, at 10:00 a.m.
(Eastern). Fans can purchase these uniforms, along with an assortment of Earned Edition product, on the Celtics
official online store, Celtics.com/shop, and NBAStore.com.
