🟡 Did you know that Hawthorn has had many nicknames? We've been called the Mayblooms, Canaries, and Mustard Pots!
 
🟡 The club experimented with their team colours initially, with our guernsey once being navy blue! ...then black with a red sash, followed by gold with a blue ‘V’ before landing on the iconic brown and gold that we all love.
 
🟡 We are very proud that Hawthorn is the only club to have an accredited museum in the AFL, (find more information here).

🟡 It wasn't until 1943 that Hawthorn became ‘the Hawks’.
