The SANFL now fields a club known as

The Port Magpies Site, though it acknowledges the duplicity of the two clubs History, ALSO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE PORT ADELAIDE FOOTBALL CLUB "ADDED" Teal and Silver to its colours "PRIOR" to moving to the A.F.L. The Magpies still share the history of Port Adelaide. It is a unique duplicity.
