. Suppose the Earths axis had no tilt. Would we still have seasons?

i think no,,,, but im not too sure...because Precession does not change the amount of the axis tilt, thus does not have any affect on the seasons. But because the solstices and equinoxes correspond to points in the Earths orbit that depend in the direction the earths axis points in space, their position in the orbit gradually shift with the cycle of precession. As a result the constellations associated with the solstices and equinoxes gradually change. This all kind of confuses me?
thanks for your help.
