Looks like the Celtics took a page from the MLB playbook and did their own version of the city connect series. Emerald Isle tops are unique.

Homewood-Flossmoor H.S. 2023-24 (away)
A lot of people don't like the circular name on jerseys, but I'm a fan. Especially when you have a such a long name. Letters & numbers were raised, but not sure if they were sewn on or ironed on.
Morris H.S. 2024 (away front)
The school's official colors are maroon & white, but they have typically included gold in their jerseys. Like many teams, gold colors were usually more of a yellow. This gold is probably what's known as old gold or Vegas gold.
The numbers and letters are green.
Players wearing the blue socks really make this kit look nice.

White top and bottoms with brown numbers and a blue outline. JCA on the shoulder & helmet. I'll bet money JCA never does a throwback with this look.
Joliet Catholic 1996 (home)
I can't mention enough how under-whelming the JCA jerseys of the mid-1990s were. The mud on the pants are the best part of this set. The helmet was a weird navy blue and the iconic brown of JC was as dark a brown as you could get and still call it brown. The blue outline on the numbers looks ok.

A unique logo, the Victory Light was an two story structure on top of the school's previous location that was lit up for varsity wins. The halo was add when the school merged with St. Francis Academy who's mascot is the Angels.
