The Boston Celtics have officially released their 2022-23 season “City Edition” jerseys, designed to commemorate the career of recently-passed Celtics Hall of Fame big man Bill Russell that ” features a gold motif symbolizing his incomparable career” according to a recent press release circulated by the team.
Noting “it was the barriers that he broke not only on the court, as the first Black head coach and a member of the first all-Black starting five, but off the court that truly made him ‘The Gold Standard,'” the team describes Russell’s legacy “a consistent reminder of what it truly means to be a Celtic.”
