Jumper

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 on a motion by Mr. T. Hallo. 

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.
