Red Cedar: Union of Hawks

Forced into a new crest, Year 1 Champs rebrand

Whence does the Red Hawk fly if time goes by in the age of gravity?

Forever will the Red Hawk soar like kites in the West Michigan wind. From the western shores of Muskegon Lake to the skies above West Muskegon Ave, the Union of Hawks ascend above the Red Cedar of the Grand Valley.

The Red Hawks of Force have rebranded as the Red Cedar: Union of Hawks, per league sources.

While most of the original Hawks found nests away from the League, some continually migrated between on court and off court during season 2. Newcomer Daniel Bk, the Hawks MVP who played every game last year, joined Year 1 returnees Cake and I’ll Will as the team went through serious roster turnover.

On the crest:

  • five hawks represent the team on the floor
  • the trees, hoop and arrow symbolize the flight of M-46 (Muskegon, Cedar Springs, Grand Rapids)
  • the white trophy is the 2020-21 Championship
  • (Big) Red Cedar (Springs) Union (GR) = HAWKS

 

The Hawks will move on from their former logo.
