Boston Celtics Visit the White House

The Celtics hit up the White House on Friday afternoon to meet with President Bush and take a tour of the White House.  Nothing too out of the ordinary happened but the Celtics did announce that they were donating $100K to the victims of Hurricane Ike which was a nice gesture.

As you can see above, the C's gave President Bush a jersey with his name on the back but it was Kendrick Perkins number 43 as opposed to the typical #1 as most teams hand out to the Prez.  I thought that was a little strange but I guess it's cool.  Getting a real players jersey would probably be better than owning all of the same numbers.  We all know this dude is definitely not considered #1 at this point in his career as El Presidente so why not represent it appropriately?  Let's just say he scammed his team into signing him for one more contract late in his career and we couldn't cut him to sign another player.

I also found a link over at RepCodes.com in regards to these New Era hats below with the old school Celtics script logo.  Remember these!  I was actually cleaning out an old box of hats and found the original of this!  I might have to start rockin' it again but I like the idea of a clean new fitted as well.
