Boston, MA – Boston Celtics guard Payton Pritchard has not only won over fans with his electrifying play on the court but has now claimed the title of the team’s style icon for the 2024-25 NBA season. In the team’s popular “Friday Fits” social media poll, Celtics fans voted Pritchard as having the best fashion sense among the roster, celebrating his bold and confident off-court looks.
The “Friday Fits” initiative, a fan-favorite tradition where players showcase their pre-game outfits, has become a way for Celtics supporters to connect with the team beyond the hardwood. This season, Pritchard’s standout style—often blending sharp tailoring, vibrant sneakers, and a nod to his Converse shoe deal—earned him the top spot in the hearts of the Celtics faithful.
Pritchard, the 2024-25 NBA Sixth Man of the Year, has had a breakout year both on and off the court. Averaging a career-high 14.3 points, 3.8 rebounds, and 3.5 assists while shooting an impressive 40.7% from three-point range, the 27-year-old guard has solidified his role as a key piece of Boston’s roster. His hustle, clutch shooting, and relentless energy have made him a fan favorite, and now his fashion choices are adding to his growing legend in Boston.
“Pritch brings that same fire to his fits as he does to his game,” one fan commented on the team’s social media post announcing the results. From sleek suits to streetwear-inspired looks, Pritchard’s style reflects his personality—confident, versatile, and unapologetic. His recent Converse deal, a nod to the brand’s deep ties with basketball culture, has also been a highlight, with Pritchard often spotted rocking exclusive kicks that resonate with fans.
The “Friday Fits” poll saw strong competition from teammates like Jaylen Brown, known for his eclectic and trendsetting outfits, and Derrick White, whose understated cool has its own following. However, Pritchard’s ability to mix classic and contemporary styles, often with a nod to his Oregon roots, gave him the edge in the fan vote.
“Payton’s got that swagger that just clicks with Boston,” said a Celtics season ticket holder. “Whether he’s hitting a deep three or stepping out in a fresh fit, he’s got that ‘it’ factor.”
As the Celtics gear up for the 2025-26 season, Pritchard’s expanded role on the team—potentially as a starter following roster changes and Jayson Tatum’s injury—promises to keep him in the spotlight. Fans can expect more dazzling plays and, of course, more head-turning outfits as Pritchard continues to make his mark both on the court and in the fashion game.
For now, the reigning Sixth Man of the Year can add another accolade to his resume: the Celtics’ undisputed king of “Friday Fits.” Keep an eye on Pritchard’s next pre-game look—it’s sure to be a slam dunk.
