Colours and Identity
The St Mayzee Saints drew inspiration from Kane May's favourite AFL team St Kilda when creating the uniform set for the club. St Mayzee Saints cricket club wore a black guernsey with red, black and white tri-panels as their home uniform. From Trifecta 6 to Trifecta 14 the St Mayzee Saints cricket club wore a white guernsey with red white and black tri-panels stylised into a cross as their away uniform. As of Trifecta 15 the St Mayzee Saints cricket club have worn a newly designed white uniform that has drawn inspiration from skipper Kane May's Indigenous background. The uniform is a red, white, and black stripped guernsey with Indigenous swirl patterns all throughout the design. The new white uniform as of Trifecta 15 has been worn as the clubs home uniform, with the original black uniform becoming the clubs away uniform. The Saints will also introduce a new alternative yellow kit to incorporate all three Indigenous colours to the team uniform. The new yellow uniform will be first worn at Trifecta 16.

Home Ground
While the Saints training and headquarters is at the St Mayzee Oval in Elizabeth East, home Trifecta Cups are played at the Mayzee Park in Angle Vale. The ground has hosted one Trifecta Cup to date, where the Saints were victorious.

Rivalries

The St Mayzee Saints also have a growing rivalry with the JRose Panthers who days before Trifecta 11 announced they were not fans of the St Mayzee Saints.
