Were also called the Mustard Pots.

Hawthorn used to be brown with a gold V, then in 1933 changed to gold with a brown V to reflect the 'Mustard Pots' moniker.

That year they recruited Fred Phillips from St.Kilda to be captain-coach after he'd finished top ten in the previous two Brownlows. However Phillips died aged 27 the week before the season kicked off after dye from the new jumper leaked into a cut on his arm and poisoned his blood. Bit of a marketing disaster...

The following year they reverted to the previous jumper.

I thought Laffey would be the odd one out.

SHocking introduces new rules to to disadvantage the team that keeps knocking his old club out of finals and then guess what, goes back to his old club as the CEO. If that's not a coincidence I don't know what is.
