About

Querétaro Fútbol Club, also known as Gallos Blancos de Querétaro, is a Mexican professional club based in Santiago de Querétaro that competes in Liga MX, and was founded on 1 January 1950. Walkouts lists signed shirts and memorabilia tied to the club’s identity, from fanshop retail editions to player-signed framed shirts that reflect both local pride and the brief star moments that punctuate the club’s history.

The club began as one of the founding members of the Segunda División and later operated under the name Gallos Blancos UAQ during an extended spell in the 1980s. That Gallos Blancos UAQ identity remains a key reference for collectors, with period shirts and replica runs being tracked for provenance and styling that differs from modern retail releases.

Querétaro’s palette is traditionally blue, black and white and the rooster mascot is central to the badge and shirt motifs. The squad has drawn international attention through players such as Ronaldinho and Antonio Valencia, whose appearances generate demand for both match-issued and signed retail shirts among supporters and regional collectors alike.

Post-1970 anniversary releases for Querétaro are not comprehensively listed in the supplied sources, but collectors often look for club retrospectives and limited print anniversary reissues when they do appear. When an anniversary run is documented it is typically tied to a seasonal milestone or a club-branded retrospective, and verified provenance is essential for those pieces to interest serious fans.

Shirts tied to specific periods are chased for narrative reasons; the club’s founding season and later identity changes are particularly relevant, and items from the Gallos Blancos UAQ years carry era-specific badges and sponsors that tell a clear story. Early retail runs and region-specific releases from the decade when the club used alternate names are often sought for their rarity and distinct designs.

Away shirts remain popular with collectors because of the club’s colourway, in particular white variants that contrast with home blue kits; an iconic away look described as white with black and blue trim is frequently cited by sellers and private consignors when highlighting provenance for decisive cup and away fixtures. Fanshop shirts, limited retail runs and player-issue variants are all collected, with attention paid to early runs and production differences rather than only match-worn pieces.

Collectors value clear authentication and paperwork, and items that include COA from a credible chain of custody are consistently more desirable. Focused searches for the 1950 founding season and the 1981 to 1989 Gallos Blancos UAQ era, along with signed retail editions tied to appearances by Ronaldinho or Antonio Valencia, form the backbone of many Querétaro shirt catalogues; Walkouts supports listings with condition notes and Free worldwide shipping.
