Hi,



Regarding the banners the color of the NBA logo does have meaning. It denotes if the Championship was clinched at home or away. I can't remember if Green means it was home or not. However, doing some investigation would solve this such as seeing if the 1986 championship was won at home and then checking the coloro of the logo. Nonetheless the color does have meaning. I hope this helps a little.

The reason there are two different NBA logos on the Celtics banners has to do with where the Celtics won the deciding game to win the Championship. If the Celtics won the chip on the road it would be a solid green circle, with white NBA lettering. If they won at home, it would be a white circle, with green lettering. This bewildered me for years, there was no pattern or consistency or symmetry with the two different logos. This came straight from the mouth of the owner of New England Flag and Banner. It was nice to finally get the true reason.
