Bit surprised any AFC fan group isn’t pouncing on something Knighty to keep in with Foleys Black Knights moniker.
All I’ve seen so far is splinter groups pushing their own little exclusive circles. You need something the wider fandom. Not to pick on The Port particularly, but who is going to jump at the chance to sign up for that? Ex Wharfies maybe? There is just no relation to the club.
Branding is powerful. Come up with something that will tie back to the club somehow and have meaning.

Friday Knights. - that’s when you drum up the excitement to get fans keyed for Saturday’s game
One Knight. - could call the fan zone One Knight Stand. And implies unity.
The Armoury - knight related and implies both attack and defence.

I have seen a reference to the "Black Squires" for the Reserves side, the equivalent of the WeeNix. These two teams are guaranteed to play each other once a season in the National League and I'd foresee one or two extra games between them might be arranged for Dec/Jan/Feb.
The analogy could be extended to "The Peasants" and "The Serfs" for the supporters
Not to mention The Faery Queens
Ps On a Sth Island roadie atm and would you believe it saw a hardback (Folio edition) history of the mythical Black Knights in a Murchison 2nd hand shop. $25 a step too far.
