    I was wondering if there are any links between her two clubs, and what they are. Will you enlighten me?

    Yet it is terribly resembling.

    You only have to reconcile. A new friend!

    Cheers, Boston.
    I'm surprised there hasn't been some joint venture by both teams for a partnership of some sort. Significant money could be made for both teams.

    Made me look up why they are Called Celtics, they copied the name from an old Basketball team The Original Celtics from New York.

    The Original Celtics copied the name from the New York Celtics Basketball team who were the first to use Celtics as their name, they played from 1914-1918. Don't know if they copied the name from us, possibly did as Celtic the way we say it probably wasn't a word before us and if they said it the same way it's likely cause they had heard of us.

    Celtic shop used to sell Boston Celtics stuff, that's probably as far as any link goes.

    I wonder if they returned the favour? There was a similair thread in here about 10 year ago. A lot of folk then thought a link up would be great. Could work!

    If / until we become sponsored by adidas then it's a non-goer, it's a pity too, I love the Boston celtics merchandise.

    The money to be made in a joint venture would be ludicrous. And it's one I'm sure Pete has looked at.

    It is, Craig Gordon, Ajer, Jozo, Mika and Tam playing 5s against the Bostons Celtics but they're using a basketball to play with.

    They renamed the basketball team in Boston to appeal to the massive Irish population at the time, worked out well
