My "fashion outcast" review of the new Celtics City Jersey

Image
By

 Let me start by affirming that I have always been known as a guy that has no knowledge of fashion. But the Boston Celtics 2024-25 "City Jerseys" are horrid. And so are most of the city jerseys "designed" for the other NBA teams.


Let me state again that I am not one entitled to be a fashion critic. I wore "Snap Jacks" for footwear in the 1950's - but didn't like them. I had to wear bell-bottom pants for a while since there was no other choice. I love my Celtics but despise this shirt. This writer from Raptor City (Toronto) rated it the worst of the lot, calling it "terrible".

"I’ll keep it short — this is one of the worst jerseys I’ve ever seen in my life. It looks like someone made it in a word doc. I won’t even associate Canva with this because it’s so bad. I’ve never been so bored looking at a jersey. The colour does not even match the Celtics usual branding, because this colour more closely resembles Mountain Dew or a green highlighter. I have second hand embarrassment for the city of Boston right now. You win a chip and THIS is your big follow up? Terrible."

Boston is not alone. These jerseys are meant to honor the host cities for the various NBA teams, and they fall short.

My favorite Celtics jersey? You can see it below. It was worn by The Green for three consecutive seasons, starting in 2017. If you don't agree, please be kind with your rebuttal. I have already confessed to having always been a fashion outcast. Do you remember Snap Jacks? Check out the last photo.

By
According to many sources, the Celtics Kevin McHale did indeed have an estimated wingspan of 8-feet. One of those sources is Wikipedia, as seen below: Kevin McHale American basketball player DescriptionKevin Edward McHale is an American retired basketball player who played his entire professional career for the Boston Celtics. He is a Basketball Hall of Fame inductee, and is regarded as one of the best power forwards of all time. He was named to the NBA's 50th Anniversary All-Time Team. Wikipedia Born: December 19, 1957 (age 61 years), Hibbing, MN Wingspan: 8′ 0″ Height: 6′ 10″ Spouse: Lynn McHale (m. 1982) NBA draft: 1980, Boston Celtics (Round: 1 / Pick: 3) Hall of fame induction: 1999 Number: 32 (Boston Celtics / Power forward, Center) Kevin was listed at 6'10" tall when he was drafted with the 3rd pick in the 1980 draft.

A sorrowful farewell to Kitty's Restaurant (North Reading, MA) as a family tradition

By
  Time to say "Goodbye" to Kitty's Restaurant - my   family's destination and tradition for six generations and more than 80 years. My memories of Kitty's go back to the early-1950's . I would accompany my dad and grandfather on fishing trips to the Ipswich River in North Reading, Massachusetts - followed by a visit to the restaurant on Main Street. In later years, my wife, Linda, and I would eat there with our two kids, Marc and Lisa - and years later - with our two grand daughters - and still later - with our great grandson, Carson. Author and family at Kitty's approx. 10 years ago Kitty's never disappointed. The drinks were big and well-made . The food was terrific - as were the portions. The service was exceptional and we became well-acquainted with the waiters and waitresses. It all worked so very well for many decades. My grand daughter, Courtney , was particularly fond of the restaurant. She was born with cystic fibrosis , and during her fr...
