Leading by example, the Boston Celtics have been at the forefront of progress, advancement and innovation of the game. The Celtics drafted Chuck Cooper, the league's first African American selection, in the 1950 draft and went on to be the first team to field an all-black starting lineup in 1964. A couple years later in 1966, the organization would name Bill Russell as the NBA's first African American head coach. The Pioneers collection celebrates these moments as they shaped the landscape of the NBA and Celtics legacy. The embroidered chest logo on this OG Starting 5 Quarter-Zip Pullover proudly displays your team allegiance, while the screen-printed graphic on the sleeve adds a touch of vintage flair. Designed with a comfortable stand-up collar and rib-knit cuffs and hem, this Stadium Essentials pullover offers both style and warmth. It's the perfect way to honor the Celtics' heritage.
