The Atlanta Hawks were one of the worst franchises in the NBA when the last decade begun. Entering with their usual Red, Black, Gold color scheme, but by the end of the decade the Hawks were in their 3rd consecutive playoffs and 2nd staright reaching the 2nd round. This of course came during the "do what everyone else is doing" jersey update leading to a red, white, and blue color scheme. The team had no reason to join the Sixers,Clippers,Pistons,and Cavaliers wearing the "RWB" color scheme, let alone the countless other teams wearing blue. So why not take it back a little?
