Team 230 has often been asked where we got our name, a.k.a. "What the heck is a gaelhawk?" The Gaelhawks name comes from a combination of the high school mascot, the
Gael, and a well-known product from our originating and continuing primary sponsor Sikorsky Aircraft, the Black
Hawk helicopter.
Gael + Hawk = GaelHawks!
I think the sponsor tie-in is a good one that is maybe not seen as often. We also use the school colors of orange and black. The combination of those colors and "Gael" as part of our name definitely help make us part of the school's team community. Of course, our tshirt cannon at the pep rallies helps too.
