Return of the Shamrock
Date: 2005-06 season
The basic Celtics uniform has largely gone unchanged since the 1940s, so management could humorously say that the team always played in “throwback” jerseys. Still, the trend of alternate jerseys was undeniable by 2005. The Celtics introduced alternate road uniforms that featured black trim for the first time and the return of shamrocks to the shorts as an homage to the original kits worn from 1946 to 1949. “The new uniforms are the perfect blend of old-school Celtics tradition and new-school style,” said Paul Pierce. “Our team is excited to wear these new uniforms, and will do so with pride.”
