About

Club Social y Deportivo Colo-Colo, founded on 19 April 1925 (1925), is based in Macul, Santiago and competes in the Chilean Primera División, a fact central to its identity and collector appeal; Walkouts presents signed football shirts and match-issued pieces that trace that competitive history.

The club, founded by David Arellano, has played at the Estadio Monumental David Arellano since 1989 and is widely regarded as Chile’s most successful side, boasting 34 Primera División titles and a landmark continental triumph, the 1991 Copa Libertadores. The IFFHS also ranks the club at 135, a useful contextual metric for collectors tracking international recognition.

Anniversary releases are an important strand for collectors. The club marked its ninety-year milestone in 2015 with commemorative details that are now sought after, particularly in limited runs and framed releases tied to club ceremonies and centenary-style events.

Season and match magnets shape demand: shirts linked to the 1991 Copa Libertadores campaign remain pivotal, while the 2015 domestic celebration and later campaigns provide provenance and visible wear patterns that help distinguish match-worn examples from retail issues. Collectors value specific game provenance and photographic evidence from those runs.

Away kit rarities attract focused attention. The 1997 black away strip, associated with an important Supercopa run and notable continental away results, is a clear example of a colourway that commands collector interest, often represented by distinctive crest patches and unique trim that differ from domestic variants; the 1997 black away, Supercopa line is particularly prized.

Signed retail demand is strong alongside match-worn interest. Official fanshop shirts, earlier limited-run retailer editions and player-issue variants are explicitly collected, not only match-worn garments, and provenance is established through packaging, region-specific labels and photographic corroboration, typically supported by a COA to confirm signature authenticity and origin.

For specialists the combination of on-field seasons and structured provenance defines a lot of the market: examples tied to the 1991 Copa Libertadores, the 2006 Apertura resurgence and the 2015 title campaigns are repeatedly referenced in catalogs and framed displays, and collectors often cross-check match lists, stadium reports from Estadio Monumental David Arellano and derby appearances such as the Superclásico when assessing significance; Walkouts lists authenticated and signed shirts from these seasons and offers Free worldwide shipping.
