Celtics new alternate jersey revealed by NBA 2K18

Share

With Nike taking over production of NBA jerseys, the league is doing away with traditional "home" and "away" jerseys. The first glimpse at the design of the Celtics' - and other NBA teams' - alternate uniform (Nike refers to them as "Statement Jerseys") comes from the NBA 2K18 video game, which will be available to those who pre-ordered it Friday. 

Earlier, NBA 2K18 has updated its cover with Kyrie Irving, originally depicted in his Cavs uniform, now in Celtics white and green.

Via Conrad Burry of SportsLogos.net and Twitter user @JMoneyMikita in Australia, where it's already Friday, NBA 2K18 offers a look at the new alternates, a.k.a. statements, including a Celtics green-on-black model, still with Isaiah Thomas' familiar No. 4. (that will need some updating).

The Celtics had gotten away from the traditional white-at-home, green-on-the-road in recent years and in the past few years wore a gray third uniform with sleeves. It'll be interesting to see when these new black jerseys are used.
