If the NBA logo is in all green then the team won the championship on the road.  If it is outlined in green and filled in white then they won it at home.

Nope.  As stated above, that doesn't hold up.

Does it correlate with who had home court advantage for the series?
thats a nice asumption, I was thinking on that myself
I dont know either
but what Roy says its true every other time people come here with the same question
maybe we should try asking CROTOR

You know you're a Celtic diehard when you know CROTOR

for those of us that that dont know, what is CROTOR?

no no no... the question is... what ISN'T CROTOR? ... CROTOR is everything.  CROTOR is the sun and the birds.  Foodstamps and gingerbread cookies.  CROTOR is all knowing and nothing not knowing.

We may never fully grasp the CROTOR.  Thats all ill say on it.

Hey does that make me dumb that I've never noticed the different NBA logos on the banners... or just that I haven't seen enough home games in Boston?

Here's the official answer from the Celtics:

Quote
Thank you for your message and interest in the Boston Celtics.

This is a good question and after checking with several people, there is no good answer.

There is no reason why different colors appear in different years.

I guess we attribute it to the Celtics Mystique.

Regards,

Jeff Twiss
Vice President of Media Services
Boston Celtics

I guess that concludes that.

Wow, can't say I'm surprised.  Nothing seemed rational when looking at the logos.  Pretty cool they got back to you, though.

"after checking with several people" = went on CelticsBlog, and if Roy Hobbs doesn't know the answer, there isn't one.

Thanks for checking up on it, Roy (and credit to Employee 8 for getting pretty much the same information, can't forget you).
Go Celtics.

Twiss is lying!  He knows the truth and it's really something earth shattering that would totally blow all of our minds.
Yup

What a great new background for my computer. 
"Take this down," said O'Neal. "My name is Shaquille O'Neal and Paul Pierce is the (expletive) truth. Quote me on that and don't take nothing out. I knew he could play, but I didn't know he could play like this. Paul Pierce is the truth."

Yeah... Too bad the Celtics didn't win a title during the '40s and '90s... If they do, that would really be awesome... At least one championship a decade...  :)
