help Port Adelaide Power FAQ
Why does Port Adelaide wear teal in the AFL instead of its traditional black and white stripes?
Port added teal and silver when it entered the AFL in 1997 because Collingwood already used black-and-white vertical stripes. The club still wears its historic black-and-white prison-bar design on selected occasions when league approval permits.
When did Port Adelaide win its first AFL premiership?
Port won the 2004 AFL Grand Final by defeating the Brisbane Lions. Mark Williams coached the side, and Warren Tredrea captained it.
What is the Never Tear Us Apart tradition at Port Adelaide games?
Supporters sing INXS's Never Tear Us Apart before home matches at Adelaide Oval. The ritual became prominent after Port moved its AFL home games to the redeveloped ground in 2014.
Are Port Adelaide Power and the Port Adelaide Magpies the same club?
They share the Port Adelaide Football Club identity and history, but the names distinguish competition teams. Power is the AFL side, while Magpies is associated with Port Adelaide's SANFL team and its older black-and-white tradition.
