1) Your first look at players wearing the new uniforms
The Hawks' first game in the brand new uniforms will be Oct. 7 against the Cavaliers in Cincinnati. Another well-known item of note for that game: It's a rematch of the Eastern Conference Finals.
2) Fans in south Georgia will be close
Atlanta's second preseason game is against the Pelicans in Jacksonville, just 30 miles from the Georgia border. Hawks fans who live in south Georgia may not be able to make it to Philips Arena routinely, but this is a nice option to see the team in person.
