Hawthorn began in 1902 as a junior club.Yep, they are the footballing equivalent of a Black Hole.
The longest premiership drought in history speaks volumes for this serial non entity (1873 - 1966).
Closely followed by the Hawthorn Hotel/Riversdale/Booroondara/Hawthorn Rovers mustard coated shitmen. (1873 - 1961)![]()
Clubs formed between 1873 and 1901 had nothing to do with us. But once again Mario, you're not dealing in facts.
Also, the early hawks didn't wear the current (and much loved) Brown and gold, they wore terrible colours like blue and white (originally with a suspenders, which were removed by most players) and black with red sash (shudder!) So, yeah we had a long drought, 1902-1961, but since then we've done alright. You also had a fair drought going between 1919-1975.
