Traditions of The Club
The motto of the Club is "Out of the darkness, through the fire and into the light", and this is reflected in the uniform of the Club, which consists of a black, red and gold horizontal stripes, with gold always on top. These are same colours as the Australian I Zingari Cricket Club, with whom the Club maintains a close relationship.
The Adelaide Rowing Club has developed its own traditions for naming boats. All single sculls, double sculls and coxless pairs are named after Australian rivers. All coxed fours and coxed quad sculls are named Hunter. All coxless fours and coxless quad sculls are named Adelaide and similarly, the Club's coxed eights are named I'Zingari in honour of the Club's original name. These boats then have roman numerals affixed after their names to denote how many boats have acquired that name.

Famous quotes containing the words traditions of the, traditions of, traditions and/or club:
“And all the great traditions of the Past
They saw reflected in the coming time.
And thus forever with reverted look
The mystic volume of the world they read,
Spelling it backward, like a Hebrew book,
Till life became a Legend of the Dead.”
—Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1809–1882)
“I think a Person who is thus terrifyed [sic] with the Imagination of Ghosts and Spectres much more reasonable, than one who contrary to the Reports of all Historians sacred and profane, ancient and modern, and to the Traditions of all Nations, thinks the Appearance of Spirits fabulous and groundless.”
—Joseph Addison (1672–1719)
“... the more we recruit from immigrants who bring no personal traditions with them, the more America is going to ignore the things of the spirit. No one whose consuming desire is either for food or for motor-cars is going to care about culture, or even know what it is.”
—Katharine Fullerton Gerould (1879–1944)
“Please accept my resignation. I don’t care to belong to any club that will have me as a member.”
—Groucho Marx (1895–1977)
