In our dystopian present, you can buy Boston Celtics facemasks

The pandemic responsible for interrupting the Boston Celtics’ regular season has left an indelible mark on the NBA’s history.

Now, in something that would have seemed a hard-to-believe detail from a science fiction novel set in a near-future dystopia, it has begun to leave its mark on NBA fashion as well.

You can now purchase Celtic-themed facemasks, that indispensable accessory we all can’t live without — literally!

Gallows humor aside, the market for such critical gear has exploded, and Boston fans are looking to cope with the loss of their favorite sport in myriad ways, this being one of the more visible one of them.

Wisely, one of the biggest retailers of these masks is reportedly donating the proceeds to charity. Fanatics has pledged to donate profits from the NBA -themed masks to Feeding America and Second Harvest Canada.

Masks are available in children’s and adult sizes, and can be purchased in three-packs and single-mask options.

Made of breathable fabric and possessing a slot for a filter to boost their efficacy, the masks can be purchased directly from Fanatics, or any number of online retailers.
