First, it won't help with the jersey, because I checked, but just a 
heads up that you need to check both store links at Celtics.com - the 
one on the Celtics site navigation bar and the one on the NBA 
navigation bar. They don't lead to the same stores and they don't 
carry all the same merchandise. Asinine, ain't it?

You might not be able to buy the authentic jersey.  I did some 
searching and all I saw, based on the pricing (where they didn't 
specify fabric) was the swingman one. What you might want to do, 
especially for the warm up, where you might have better luck, is 
contact the Bruins Pro Shop (which is the souvenir shop in the 
Garden) and ask them. Contact info here
