Skyhawk (mascot)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Skyhawk is the name of one of the former mascots for the Atlanta Hawks professional basketball team in the NBA. He is an anthropomorphic hawk wearing basketball shorts, a nylon body suit and mask, and wrestling boots. During a break in action in every game he performed acrobatic slam dunks with the aid of a small trampoline. Skyhawk ceased appearing during the 2013–14 Atlanta Hawks season after he tore his ACL during a mid-game show at a timeout break.

On February 21, 2019, the Hawks announced that their NBA G League affiliate would be named the College Park Skyhawks in reference to the former mascot.[1]
