The club underwent a name change in 1907 to Verde esperanza y no pierde, before finally adopting its current name on November 1, 1908. This change was formalized in a meeting where José Laguna was appointed as the first president. The club's colors and emblem, featuring a balloon, were inspired by Argentine aviation pioneer Jorge Newbery, who granted permission for the use of the balloon emblem, symbolizing the club's aspirations and connection to aviation history.

The club quickly established itself in Argentine football, and by 1910, it had gained recognition, with Newbery being named a protector member of the club. This period marked the beginning of Huracán's journey in competitive football, setting the stage for future successes.

Honours and Achievements

These accomplishments reflect the club's resilience and ability to compete at various levels of Argentine football, contributing to its legacy as a significant sports institution in Buenos Aires.

Likewise, the balloon emblem was a homage to Argentine aviation-pioneer Jorge Newbery's, which had been brought from France and first piloted by Newbery in 1909. The club asked Newbery for permission to use the balloon, which Newbery replied saying "I gave my most complete approval to the request, hoping that the team will honor the balloon that crossed three countries (Argentina, Uruguay and Brazil) in a unique trip". When Huracán reached the first division, the managers sent a letter to Jorge Newbery that said: "Huracán has kept its promise, promoting three divisions, as your balloon crossed three republiques before, so your wish was accomplished" In 1910, Jorge Newbery was named "protector member" of the club. That same year Huracán played in the Liga 43, where 43 clubs from second and fourth divisions took part of the championship. Huracán played its first matches in a field located in Cachi and…
