Looks like the comments on the Boston Marathon 2025 jacket aren't going over too well.
The Boston Marathon celebration jacket from Adidas has been a cherished tradition at the race since 1991, becoming a symbol of accomplishment for runners who conquer the course each year. This year’s jacket, however, has the running world up in arms after the Boston Athletic Association (B.A.A.) decided to move away from the iconic stitched B.A.A. logo to a printed Bank of America-centric crest on the front and back.
While the jacket boasts sustainable credentials as the first made entirely from recycled polyester material, many runners are more focused on the design. Bank of America, which became the race’s presenting sponsor in 2023 after nearly four decades under insurance company John Hancock, is being criticized for its branding. The jacket’s “Lucid Blue” design, paired with the B.A.A.’s traditional royal blue base, has also drawn mixed reviews.
