The instantly recognisable blue and white colours of The Hawks were agreed upon by the original members for several reasons, the first being that blue is the colour of blue jays, blueberries, the sky and therefore the ocean, and the planet Neptune. Blue is also the primary flag colour of many strong modern countries, such as Israel, Greece, and Somalia. But the biggest reason Blue was chosen was that it has a wavelength of roughly 440–490 nm, which pleased then captain, [[Michael Read]]. When asked about the secondary colour, white, Michael Read explained that "white is the superior colour, racially" and that "there was little choice involved".
