+===== The Origin of the "Hawks" Name =====
+The team name "Hawks" comes from Black Hawk, a Native American leader of the Sauk tribe. When the franchise was based in the Tri-Cities (Moline, Rock Island, and Davenport), it was named the Tri-Cities Blackhawks in honor of Black Hawk’s legacy. The name was later shortened to Hawks when the team moved to Milwaukee in 1951.[([[https://teamnameorigin.com/nba/nickname/atlanta-hawks|teamnameorigin]])]
