It’s time for another round of everybody’s favorite game: “Do those jerseys stink?”
Enes Kanter on Monday seemingly revealed the Boston Celtics’ new alternate jerseys in a post to his Instagram story, and the threads were almost unanimously bashed. Kanter since has deleted the post, which might have been a tad misleading.
Take a look:
Yes or no on these Celtics threads? 🧐

No, you’re not the only one who thinks those look like Charlotte Hornets colors.
However, it’s more than likely that there was some weird lighting at play.
I'm gonna guess there was some weird lighting and the Celtics alt is supposed to look more like this color-corrected image.
Doesn't do anything for the dumb font, though. pic.twitter.com/tDoGM5SzOA

Be it the colors or the typeface — Boscon? — the jerseys did not go over well with NBA fans.
Here’s a taste of the reaction:
BOSCON? WTF is a BOSCON?

Answers the question "what if the Celtics were sponsored by a local Irish pub?"
