History

The Hawks are one of only two NBL clubs to have competed in every season since the league's inception in 1979 without relocating to another city (the other being the Brisbane Bullets). The club was originally known as the Illawarra Hawks, the name referring to the Illawarra region rather than specifically its major urban centre Wollongong. The name change took place after the 1998 season; the team also adopted a new logo and moved to the Wollongong Entertainment Centre. The Brisbane Bullets are a professional basketball team competing in Australias National Basketball League. ... The Illawarra is the name given to a coastal region of New South Wales immediately south of Sydney. ...
