KDY CEO Enrique Vilouta: Colón’s old management had kit irregularities | OneFootball

The brand owner dressing the Sabalero spoke on ADN by Radio Gol 96.7, hosted by Darío Pignata, and broke the silence. He talked about the controversy of the design contest, the relationship with the new management, and the criticisms of the current model.

In an in-depth conversation with the ADN team, Enrique Vilouta, the visible face of the KDY brand, analyzed the current state of Colón's apparel. At a time when the team is leading and undefeated, the fan excitement is also reflected in the official stores.

The Controversy of the "Flash Contest"

One of the hottest topics of the interview was the design contest launched under the previous management, which caused a stir on social media. Vilouta clarified why the winning model did not make it to the fields literally.

"We participated in the design from the industrial side, but the aesthetics are defined by associates who are fans, because the club's DNA is needed," he explained. Regarding the contest, he pointed out that it was a "flash" initiative by the outgoing committee that lacked clear foundations: "What the fan proposes cannot be literally so due to pattern and suitable fabric issues. Moreover, the communication was diluted by the chaos the club was experiencing in September and the electoral process."

However, he revealed that the current jersey is indeed inspired by that design: "If you look at the sides, they have the zigzag of the winning drawing. The only difference is that the trim is black and not white, because there is always friction when white touches red on Colón's main jersey."

Criticism of Godano's Management and the New Era with Alonso

Vilouta did not hide his dissatisfaction with the handling of the previous management, describing it as "sloppiness and suspicious irregularity" that the club put 1,500 old jerseys on sale at ridiculous prices while coexisting with the current supplier.

In contrast, he highlighted the relationship with the current leadership of Víctor Godano and José Alonso: "I talk to Alonso twice a month. We are working in a different way. The committee is doing a very good job dressing all amateur football and considering the other disciplines of the club."

The Minimalist Design and Fan Reaction

Asked about the alternative white jersey, which drew attention for its simplicity, the CEO of KDY defended the choice: "It's a minimalist design that relies on the quality of the fabric. It's a very nice material, and we wanted that to stand out."

Regarding the constant criticism on social media, Vilouta was pragmatic:
