The first time the Celtics memorialized someone on their jerseys was in 1964, for team founder Walter Brown. Brown, who ...had the number 1 retired for him as the most important person in Celtics history, had owned and operated the team from its founding in 1946 until his death. As you can see, the position of this band is quite high up compared to later versions.
