PU TNAM ON THE BOSTON CELTICS PARQUET APRON
The Boston Celtics are known for two things: Pride and a legacy of winning.
A symbol of that legacy is the one-of-a-kind parquet floor, witness to 17 championship banners
and perhaps the most storied playing surface in all of sport. It is where Celtic pride — and a legacy
of winning — has taken shape. Putnam Investments is proud to partner with the Boston Celtics
and is honored to be the first logo on the parquet in front of the bench.
