The Atlanta Hawks are celebrating the 50th anniversary of their first season in Atlanta this upcoming basketball season.

“This fall we begin a year-long celebration of our 50th anniversary, a celebration that includes community events, fan favourites, and great new throwback uniforms,” Atlanta Hawks CEO Steve Koonin said at the event announcing this earlier tonight. “When the Hawks moved to Atlanta they had powder blue and red uniforms they proudly wore, this year we’re bringing them back in style and in class.”

In honor of the 50th anniversary, the Hawks are bringing back the original powder blue road uniforms with HAWKS arched across the front of the jersey.

“We’re bringing it back, old-school, new colors,” Hawks power forward John Collins said modeling the new throwback unis. “I don’t know if I like the baby blue, I went to Wake (Forest) and all.”

ASSOCIATION

The Association uniforms pays tribute to the geography of Memphis, with the Mississippi River anchoring the City on one side. The long flowing lines that fall down the side of the jerseys and wrap around the shorts are reminiscent of the intersection of road, rail, river, and runways, taking its line forms from the evolved inline wordmark.

ICON

The "Beale Street Blue" draws your attention to the collar with the oversized bear logo on the left side of the shorts paying tribute to the first season in Vancouver and Memphis. On the belt and across the chest of the Icon Edition has the newly-designed inline type pulled from the neon signs found on Beale Street.

STATEMENT

The new Statement Edition unis feature the "Beale Street Blue" along with the iconic inline type and blue collars in honor of Memphis entertainment and culture.

"As with the Association & Icon Editions, this uniform creates an asymmetrical silhouette and utilizes the oversized bear icon on the left side of the short for strength and weight. The asymmetry is created by utilizing a pattern of the shipping container mark through the collar, belt and right short hem, similar to the Pacific Northwest trim used in Vancouver in 1995/96. This pattern is further highlighted by the use of Grizzlies gold accents along each piece." - Grizzlies

Moving into our new home today ☘️

📍 Auerbach Center at @newbalance World Headquarters pic.twitter.com/FJHFqDobEf

— Boston Celtics (@celtics) June 19, 2018

The Celtics have just become the "leader in the NBA’s arms race for practice facility supremacy" with the opening of their new facility coined the, Red Auerbach Center at New Balance World Headquarters. The name pays tribute to the "patriarch of the organization who led the Celtics to their first 16 world championships"

The 70-000 square foot facility has everything the team, coaching staff and front office staff could ever need without having to step foot outside of the building. Two Parquet basketball courts stand as the center point of the building. The building is also equipped with an expansive training room accessible right off the court, state of the art pool room; inclusive of cold tub, hot tub and multi-level pool, massage room, and nap room for recovery. 

When it's go time, players get ready in their brand new locker room, where their fully equipped lockers form a circle around the Celtics iconic Green Shamrock. Once they exit the locker room, players can head to the designated theatre style film room. On the opposite side, players will find their weight room and training facility. One level up, overlooking the court "is the cardio space, which features multiple stationary bikes, treadmills and other cardio equipment. Behind the cardio equipment – and overlooking both the courts and Interstate 90 – are Boston’s 17 championship banners, as well as one more empty banner that hangs as a motivating factor"

When it's time to unwind, players can head upstairs to the billiards room to play a game of pool on their customized Celtics logo table, watch TV or enjoy a bite to eat in their own restaurant that is full equipped to handle made to order meals. 

The rest of the building is considered "mixed-use space for press conferences or events, a broadcast studio, a sizable media room, expanded offices and open office space for staff, and multiple auxiliary locker rooms."
