Origins

Cygnet began as Lovett Football Club in 1906, and changed its name to Cygnet in the 1910s.[1]
The Magpies were a member of the Huon Football Association from 1906-1997 when the league disbanded and they joined the SFL in 1998.[2]
Upon entry in the SFL they changed from their longtime Black & White playing strip and Magpie emblem, adopting a Port Adelaide playing strip (black, white and teal) and called themselves 'The Port'.

gollark: Eliminate all intellectual property law?
gollark: I should probably have remembered this, but apparently an important part of GIF was patented for a while, and also bits of MP3, H.264 and H.265.
gollark: Correction: yes and apparently the law is just ambiguous.
gollark: Correction: they have not, apparently.
