Club Social y Deportivo Colo-Colo is a Chilean football club. It has won a record number of national cups (27) and is the only Chilean team to have won the Copa Libertadores de América (1991). The team uses a white shirt, black shorts and white socks, and is known as the "Albos" (snow whites), "Cacique", "El Indio" and "Eterno Campeón" (eternal champion). After the death of David Arellano a founding father, black was added to the top of the emblem on a white shirt as a tribute. In a dual sign the name of the stadium was also dedicated to him as a living memory. Colo-Colo plays in the Chilean commune of Macul located within Santiago.

[edit] History

The team started when eleven players from Magallanes split out of their club: the Arellano brothers, David and Francisco; Juan Quiñones (who designed the team uniform and colors); Luis Contreras (who came up with the name); Rubén and Nicolás Arroyo; Clemente Acuña; Guillermo Garcés; Rubén Sepúlveda; Eduardo Stavelton; and Luis Mancilla. All of them founded the Team in April 19 in 1925. kopko0ko-i9o-io0-0

Colo-Colo has had good squads throughout its history, playing in two Copa Libertadores finals. In 1991 they won the Cup, under the commands of Mirko Jozic. In 2005 the club was turned into a joint stock company ("sociedad anónima") managed by Blanco y Negro S.A. (Black and White A.S., in reference to the team colors), and was put on the Santiago Stock Exchange.

[edit] Copa Libertadores victory

The most memorable day in Colo-Colo's history was on June 5, 1991, when it won the Copa Libertadores de América. Colo-Colo played the final against Olimpia Asunción.

The Mapuche cacique, Colo-Colo, is a symbol of heroic courage, bravery, and wisdom who fought, never surrendered, and never lost to the Spaniards during the Arauco War. The team colors (white and black) show the philosophy of the founders: "The white shirt stands as a symbol of purity of principles and intentions and the black of the pants shows the determination to always fight loyally for the victory." And there is a Black Bar Above the badge in memory of David Arellano's death, for having founded one of the most important teams in Chile.
