The Boston Celtics are looking to return to their status as contenders this upcoming season and will be doing so without one of the players synonymous with the team over the last decade, Jaylen Brown.

The Celtics traded Brown to the Philadelphia 76ers this offseason, and have made several additions to the team via that deal and in free agency.

While Boston hopes to get back to its championship-caliber form, it will be bringing back familiar uniforms this season worn by Brown, as well as several other notable players in the team's recent history.

According to a post on "X" from NBA Uniform Tracker (@nbaunitracker), the Celtics are bringing back their "Earned Edition" jerseys, worn in the 2018-19 season, as their City Connect jerseys for 2026-27.

Boston seems to be following a trend around the Association this upcoming season. According to the account, the majority of NBA teams are bringing back City Connect jerseys from past seasons rather than adopting new threads this season.

The jersey, with the typical Celtics green with yellow lettering and lining, represents a nearly completely different era of the franchise, one that is most often remembered with what could have been rather than what was.

Here's a look back at the season where Boston last wore its "Earned Edition" uniforms:

The last time the Celtics wore the "Earned Edition" uniforms marked the final of a chaotic two-season stretch where one of the greatest point guards in the history of the game, Kyrie Irving, was with the team.

Irving was originally acquired by Boston in a trade with the Cleveland Cavaliers before the 2017-18 season that sent the team's leading scorer from the previous season, Isaiah Thomas, to the Cavs.

Irving's first season with the Celtics was mired with injury. Without Irving in the fold, Boston made it to the Eastern Conference Finals before ultimately falling in seven games to the point guard's former team.

Irving's second season in Boston was more healthy, but not without controversy. The one-time NBA champion played in 67 games, was named second-team All-NBA, and helped lead the team to a 49-33 record and the No. 4 seed in the East. The team ultimately fell in the second round of the playoffs to the Milwaukee Bucks, and Irving signed with the Brooklyn Nets the following offseason.

Irving wasn't the only player on the roster who the team made efforts to trade for or sign in efforts of reaching the NBA title following a years-long rebuild.

In addition to the homegrown starts that became synonymous with the franchise over the years, such as Brown and Jayson Tatum, the team also featured several more players who were drafted and/or developed by the team, including shooting guard Marcus Smart and point guard Terry Rozier III.

The team also featured several familiar names who were acquired or signed, either for starting or key role-player responsibilities: one-time All-Star Gordon Hayward, center Daniel Theis and center Al Horford were among the notable players also on the team at the time.
