Atlanta Hawks
In 1948, the cities of Moline and Rock Island, IL, and Davenport, IA—collectively known as the Tri-Cities at the time—were awarded a team in the National Basketball League. The team was nicknamed the Blackhawks, who, like Chicago's hockey team, were named after the Sauk Indian Chief Black Hawk. When the team moved to Milwaukee in 1951, the nickname was shortened to Hawks. The franchise retained the shortened moniker for subsequent moves to St. Louis and finally Atlanta in 1968.
AJCHawks to mark half-century in Atlanta with 50 acts to help 50K people
To celebrate their 50th anniversary in Atlanta, the Hawks are giving back to their home city this NBA season by completing 50 acts of service designed to help 50,000 people, the team said in a news release.
The charitable initiatives include public court renovations, community conversations, employee community service projects, basketball camps and clinics, as well as basketball equipment donations to Atlanta nonprofits. Hawks players, alumni and staff will participate in the service projects, and the first of these events was the team’s participation in the annual Atlanta Pride Parade on Oct. 14.
The team has many other special festivities planned for home games this season. State Farm Arena will sport a black and gold “50th Anniversary” court for a select 10 home games.
