The final selected team was announced at the Foundation Day Derby Ball on 2 June 2007. It also involved the commissioning of a jumper to commemorate the team which consisted of the colours of the two Fremantle WAFL teams. The sleeveless jumper is predominantly white with red trimming around the neck and sleeve lines and two blue thin hoops around the stomach region with a Titan holding a shield in the left hand and sword in the right.
