St. Patrick’s Day has become a reminder of what we’ve lost as Celtics fans

Sometimes, you just don’t know what you’ve got until it’s gone. Maybe it’s an old relationship, a worn-out pair of sneakers that aren’t in production anymore, or perhaps you just finished binging a TV show and don’t know what to do with yourself.

Each year on St. Patrick’s Day we’re reminded of what we’ve lost as Boston Celtics fans.

The old Celtics St. Patrick’s Day uniforms were special.

The traditional green base with gold lettering/numbers and white trim was the perfect alternate uniform. Boston would break these out each season for the week or so before St. Patrick’s Day in March.

It was a time when alternate uniforms actually felt like alternates. They wouldn’t encroach on the traditional home and away jerseys. You’d see them for a few games and then they’d go back in the storage bin for a year.

Nowadays, teams, including the Celtics, might as well be spinning a wheel each night to determine what they’ll wear.

Green at home, white on the road, what happened to the game I loved, man?

Home and away means nothing. The uniforms aren’t even called that anymore. It’s “icon” or “association” now.

Plus, each year, we’re all treated to Nike’s Frankenstein creation, the “City Edition” uniforms, which are only in use for one campaign. This season, Boston has been wearing their “Action Green” city jerseys every so often.

They’re horrible, they’ve always been horrible and will remain horrible.

As I’ve complained about many times, the City Editions are a money play by Nike, who has been in charge of the NBA’s uniforms since the beginning of the 2017-18 season. With the design changing each year, fans have to buy new merchandise each year to keep up with the times.

To be honest, if Nike was selling a St. Patrick’s Day edition uniform for the Cs, I’d buy all of the corresponding shirts/hoodies.

They’d probably look sick.

Unfortunately, it seems as if Nike actually hates these jerseys. According to basketballjerseyarchive.com, the St. Patty’s unis were last worn in 2017 — the season before they took over as the uniform partner.

Even if they’re dead set on avoiding the re-use of this design, there are simply too many creators/designers out there to have bad uniforms.

Look at this:

These are different than the original, but they still rock.

There’s also the fact that the Celtics have some of the best uniforms in sports. When you look as good as they do, there’s never a need to reinvent the wheel.
