back in the day, Boston was full of Irish men. The founder of the team put them in green uniform and called them the Boston Celtics. The clover design is is derived from the Irish culture, since Boston was mostly populated with Irish people.

Why did Boston Celtics choose to use three leaf clover in comparison to four leaf clover which symbolizes luck?

The Boston Celtics chose the three-leaf clover as their logo because it symbolizes the Irish heritage of the team's founding members and the city of Boston itself, which has a strong Irish-American community. The three leaves represent faith, hope, and love, aligning with the team's values and spirit. In contrast, the four-leaf clover, while a symbol of luck, is less closely tied to the cultural identity and legacy the Celtics wanted to embody.
