The club colours were decided as chocolate and blue (the State colours of the time) and the jumper design was alternate chocolate and blue stripes.[9] and continued in the Glenelg District Football Association and remained in that competition throughout its name changes until it folded at the end of 1986, then known as the Southern Metropolitan Football League. In 1987 the club merged with Greek Football Club to form the Greek Camden Football Club.[10] This merger would last until 1993 when the club split back into Greek and Camden, with Camden forming a new merger with the Plympton High Old Scholars Football Club to form the PHOS Camden Football Club.[11]
