I am so tired of people saying we were “taking over” Hawthorn. “Taking over” does not mean surrendering your mascot for the other one. Having yellow added and having a massive Hawk head covering most of your jumper.
You have no idea what a “take over” is. You want to see one? Look at St George Illawarra. When they “merged” they kept the exact same jumper, logo, with the ONLY differences were red added to the bottom of the sleeves (which was already a St George colour) and the words Illawarra added to the name and on the bottom of the logo. THAT was a takeover. Make no mistake, we were MERGING, not taking over.
