Tas Govt buys Hawks' naming rights

The Tasmanian Premier Paul Lennon says the Hawthorn Football Club will be known as the Tassie Hawks from next season.

The Tasmanian Government has announced a five-year deal to become the club's official naming rights sponsor.

The Mr Lennon says $3 million-a-year deal has bought Tasmania naming rights and blanket promotion at all Hawthorn home matches at the MCG.

As expected, four games a year will be played at York Park in Launceston with at least two against other Melbourne-based clubs.

Mr Lennon says the money will not come from tourism funding but cannot be more specific about the budgetary arrangements.

Hawthorn's vice-president Martin Ralston says the deal means the Tasmanian Government will be providing about a quarter of the club's revenue.

...The new deal comes on top of existing naming rights sponsor HSBC agreeing to remain with the club as its principal partner. A Tasmanian logo will now appear on the front of the Hawthorn jumper, while the HSBC logo will appear on the back.....

yeah - Hawks didn't need to do this - they have been travelling nicely since 96'. I mean "Tassie' is worse than "Western"

What is the general feeling about this amongst Hawks fans?

I hate it.

Some Hawks fans earlier before the announcement thought it was a good idea though, I'd like to know what they think now
