Boston Celtics 1996-1997 Warm-Up Jacket: A Tribute to Basketball Heritage

An Exquisite Piece of Basketball Memorabilia

Step into the rich history of the NBA with this remarkable Boston Celtics warm-up jacket from the 1996-1997 season. This piece is a testament to the Celtics’ storied legacy and their enduring influence in the world of basketball. Crafted with precision and attention to detail, this jacket is not just a garment but a symbol of the Celtics’ commitment to excellence.

Distinctive Features and Authenticity

The jacket features a “Champion” manufacturer’s tag in the rear collar, proudly stating, “DESIGNED & TAILORED EXCLUSIVELY FOR BOSTON CELTICS BODY LENGTH +3 SLEEVE LENGTH 0.” Adjacent to this is another “Champion” size “46” tag, complete with washing instructions and the number “7” inscribed in black marker. The left inseam bears two tags reading “100% POLYESTER” and “1996-1997,” affirming its authenticity and era.

On the right chest, the official “NBA” logo is embroidered, a mark of the league’s prestigious 50th Anniversary. The front of the jacket is adorned with “CELTICS” in green on yellow tackle twill, while the back proudly displays the player name “BROWN” in white tackle twill on a green tackle twill nameplate. Each sleeve is embellished with a “Celtic” logo in green on yellow tackle twill, and the left sleeve features an embroidered “Champion” logo.
