The club unifies both men and women under one name,{{cite web |url=https://www.hockeyone.com.au |title=Hockey One – WHAT'S THE CONCEPT? |publisher=hockeyone.com.au |accessdate=18 April 2019 }} unlike South Australia's former representation in the Australian Hockey League as the SA Hotshots (men) and SA Suns (women).{{cite web |url=https://hockeyaustralia.altiusrt.com/teams/1331 |title=SA Hotshots |publisher=hockeyaustralia.altiusrt.com |accessdate=17 April 2019 }}{{cite web |url=https://hockeyaustralia.altiusrt.com/teams/1339 |title=SA Suns |publisher=hockeyaustralia.altiusrt.com |accessdate=17 April 2019 }}

Adelaide Fire will compete for the first time in the inaugural season of Hockey One, which will be contested from late September through to mid November 2019.

History

Adelaide Fire, along with six other teams, was founded on 17 April 2019 as part of Hockey Australia's development of hockey.{{cite web |url=http://hockey.org.au/News/a-new-era-begins-hockey-one-is-here |title=A New Era Begins – Hockey One Is Here! |publisher=Hockey Australia |accessdate=18 April 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190417082255/http://hockey.org.au/News/a-new-era-begins-hockey-one-is-here |archive-date=17 April 2019 |url-status=dead }} The establishment of the club however, was not met without challenges. It was feared Hockey SA would not enter Hockey One due to financial restraints, however after a public fundraiser the entry quota was met.{{cite web |url=http://www.hockeysa.com.au/News-Events/donate-to-the-our-project-on-the-australian-sports-foundation |title=Donate to the our project on the Australian Sports Foundation |publisher=Hockey SA |accessdate=18 April 2019 }}

The club name of the Fire is a natural progression and combination of the former club names – the Hotshots and the Suns.

Uniform

The club colours are a modern take on traditional SA colours, the yellow, now replaced with white provides a cleaner, modern feel to the uniforms.
