Level 3 · Player page

Jayson TatumThird pick, first title, and a duo with a nickname

Taken third overall in 2017 and a champion with Boston in 2024. His jersey sits at the centre of one of the more closely followed team-building stories in the league.

The short version

Who he is, and why his jersey is worth having.

Jayson Tatum was a McDonald's All-American in high school in Missouri, played a season at Duke, and was selected third overall by Boston in 2017. He made the All-Rookie First Team in his first season and has been an All-Star six times, with five All-NBA selections including four first-team nods.

He won the inaugural Eastern Conference finals MVP in 2022 and his first championship in 2024, in a season where Boston won 64 games. In between, he and Jaylen Brown formed a partnership that carried its own nickname and its own long-running debate about how the two fit together.

The story so far

The short version of a long career — enough to know which jersey you are actually looking for.

His nickname — the Anomaly — describes what makes him hard to plan for: a forward with the size to play inside and the handle to play outside. That makes the number and lettering sit on a frame that does not look like a standard build.

Boston jerseys also carry an extra consideration. The club's green is one of the most traditional in the sport, so modern versions get read against a very long history — and the typeface on the current set is noticeably cleaner than the throwbacks.

The bare facts: born in St. Louis, Missouri, U.S., drafted in 2017, taken 3 overall in round 1 by the Boston Celtics and listed at 6'8", 210 lb.

Every jersey we carry under this name is a Boston Celtics one — a single club, which makes choosing a colourway simple.

The number on the back is #0.

The colourways, explained

Under this name you will find Icon Edition, City Edition, Statement Edition and Association Edition. Worth knowing what each one is before you decide.

Icon The primary colourway

The one you picture when you close your eyes. Icon takes the club's primary colour as its base and dresses the whole jersey in it, which is why it reads loudest from the top of the upper deck. If you only ever own one, this is usually the one.

City Redesigned every year

The one that changes annually. City jerseys dig into the city rather than the club — a neighbourhood, a moment in local history, a piece of street art — and they only ever run for a single season. That is exactly why they age well: the year on the label tells a story later. If you like your jerseys to mean something specific, start here.

Statement The alternate

The third look, and the one the design team gets to have fun with — darker bases, bolder trim, sometimes an entirely new colour introduced for a single season. Statement jerseys are where a club's graphics department says something.

Association Home white

White base, club colours doing the talking around the collar, the armholes and the numbers. Historically the home look — the jersey the team wears in its own building. It goes with everything, which is why it outsells its louder siblings among people who don't want to look like they're heading to a game.

08

Swingman, Replica, or Custom?

The build matters as much as the colourway. Here is what actually separates them.

Swingman The standard fan build

The fan jersey most people mean. Light mesh, stitched or heat-pressed lettering and numbers, and a cut that sits properly on the body without being tight. It is the right answer for roughly nine out of ten people, and it holds up to actual wear rather than hanging in a wardrobe.

Replica Lighter on the wallet

A simpler build — printed detailing rather than heavier applied lettering, and a lighter hand overall. If you want the look at the lowest entry point, this is where you start. It is not trying to be the on-court jersey.

Custom Your name, your number

Blank or pick-your-own — a name and a number of your choosing. It is the answer when the exact player is not in stock, when it is a gift for someone whose favourite never got a jersey, or when you simply want your own name across the back.

Player Edition Closest to on-court

Built to the specification the players actually wear. Heavier fabric, deeper detail, and a fit that is intentionally athletic rather than relaxed. Pick this if you care about the details people only notice up close.

09

Sizes and who they are for

Jerseys are cut to layer over something else, which is why the tag size never quite matches a t-shirt.

Adult Standard sizes

The standard adult run. Jerseys are cut to be worn over a t-shirt, so the shoulder sits slightly wide by design — that is the silhouette, not a sizing error. If you want it fitted, size down; if you want the baggy look most people are after, stay true.

Women's Tapered cut

A narrower shoulder, a shorter body and a waist that actually tapers. Same design, drawn for a different frame rather than simply scaled down.

Youth For younger fans

Sized for kids and cut a little more forgivingly, because it is going to be worn hard. Worth checking the size guide against a favourite t-shirt rather than guessing from age.

Big & Tall Extra length

Added length and width for taller or broader frames. Same jersey, more room, without the shoulders drifting halfway down the arm.

Common questions

Why does the Boston green feel heavier than other jerseys?
It is a deep Kelly green rather than a bright one, with white trim doing the contrast. It reads darker in person than it does on a screen.
What makes this era distinctive?
It is the championship that ended a long wait, delivered by a core built at home rather than bought. That is why the jerseys from that run carry a particular weight.
Which number can I get?
We carry #0. The current number is the straightforward pick; an older one signals which era you came in on — useful if you are buying for someone who has followed him since the beginning.
Which seasons are available?
The shelf covers seasons running from 2020/21 through 2025/26, so both current and older designs are in play. Use the edition list above to narrow it.
Are there sizes beyond adult?
Yes — youth and women's builds are both stocked where available. They are drawn for different frames rather than scaled down, so check the size guide rather than guessing from age.
What if the exact jersey I want is out of stock?
A custom build covers any name and number, so you are never completely stuck.
