The Atlanta Hawks are a professional basketball team from the United States that was founded in 1946 as Buffalo Bisons, which was later changed to Tri-Cities Blackhawks in the first season. The Hawks compete in the National Basketball Association (NBA) as an Eastern Conference Southeast Division member.

The team used to play in the National Basketball League (NBL) and became part of the NBA after the 1949 merger of the NBA and the Basketball Association of America (BAA). The team was known as Milwaukee Hawks in 1951 and eventually changed to Atlanta Hawks in 1968 when the team moved to Atlanta. 

The Hawks qualified for 1957, 1958, 1960, and 1961 NBA finals and they faced the Boston Celtics in all of them but only managed to lift the trophy in 1958. Here, we look at their sponsors.
