The West Augusta Football Club adopted the purple and white colours for its uniform and was admitted to the Port Augusta Football Association on 3 April 1915 .

The choice of purple and white as the club's colours was initially suggested by West Side school teacher Mr. Sydney Mills, a Christian Brothers Old Collegian, who prevailed upon those present at the first meeting to adopt the colours of his old school in Adelaide.

Club song

We're a happy team at Westies.
We're the mighty fighting hawks.
We love our club and we play to win.
Riding the bumps with a grin at Westies.
Come what may you'll find us striving.
Team work is the thing that talks.
All for one and one for all.
Is the way we play at Westies.
We are the mighty fighting hawks.

gollark: I assume it's mostly just because it's a more recent issue, and possibly because it's smaller in scope and easier to deal with one than the others.
gollark: That works as a fully general counterargument for literally every problem except the worst one(s) that exist at some time.
gollark: I'm not sure how "some subgroup may end up able to shift the balance of sports rather a lot" is the same problem as "there exist many stupid people in America".
gollark: That seems like just another variation on the "other problems exist, so ignore this potential one" argument.
gollark: Those seem like oddly nuanced protest signs.
