Celtics Reveal 'Gold Standard' City Edition, First Uniform Without Green

The gold-on-white look foregrounds the franchise's title legacy through Auerbach's signature plus an '18' collar mark.

Overview

  • Boston unveiled the 2025–26 City Edition on Sept. 24–25, calling it a white base with gold lettering trimmed in black and confirming it is the first Celtics uniform to exclude green.
  • Design details include Red Auerbach's stitched signature above the jock tag and an '18' on the neckline referencing the franchise's championships.
  • The team has not announced when the alternate will be worn in a game, with preseason beginning Oct. 8 and the regular season opening Oct. 22.
  • The new look departs from last season's black jersey with neon-green accents, though previous City Editions have featured gold trim.
  • Early reaction on social media has been mixed, and the Celtics will continue to wear their classic home white, road green, and black alternates.
