4. Boston Celtics (since 2014-15)

These specific uniforms have been used since 2014-15 (pictured above on Isaiah Thomas) but only minor alterations have been made to the jersey style since the Boston Celtics were founded in 1946-47. This is extacly what puts Boston so high on this list. I have a soft spot for retro and these jerseys are the definition of brand identity. Nostalgic fans crave this jersey style.

Every team needs an alternate jersey. These Celtics jerseys (right) have been used since 2014-15 and continue to be the only other jersey Boston uses besides their home and away. It seems that most teams have a short-sleeved version.

While controversial at first, the Vice President of Global Merchandising sets the record straight about short-sleeved jerseys.
