who defends the colours of

Explanation:
Portacolori = Chi partecipa a una gara sportiva per conto di una società o scuderia | (est.) L'atleta più rappresentativo di una squadra

Here I would use:
XXX, who defended the colours of the reborn XXX house
(he won that race)

eg. The 458 Italia GT Endurance, that will defend the colours of Ferrari against Porsche 997, Corvette C6.R, and BMW M3 made its first shakedown at Fiorano.
