Colón unveil shirt paying tribute to Brigadier López | OneFootball

In the context of the 240th anniversary of the birth of Brigadier General Estanislao López, Colón recently unveiled a special jersey in tribute to one of the most significant figures in the history of Santa Fe.

The initiative was developed in collaboration between the club and the brand responsible for the apparel, creating a commemorative model that aims to highlight the provincial identity and the legacy of the federal leader. The presentation was held alongside the Government of the Province of Santa Fe and was officially announced through the institution's social media.

Present at the event were the Sabalero president, José Alonso, and the governor of the province, Maximiliano Pullaro, who supported the launch of the new jersey. The design pays tribute to the figure of Brigadier López, a key political and military leader in the consolidation of Santa Fe's autonomy in the 19th century, and reinforces the historical bond between the club and the provincial identity.

The statement from Colón

«On the eve of a profoundly significant date for the history of Santa Fe, our institution held an institutional meeting filled with meaning and belonging, during which a commemorative jersey was presented as a symbol of living memory and commitment to our roots. The tribute holds special meaning for our history because the figure of Brigadier General Estanislao López is not just part of the books: it is the essence of our home, the Estadio Brigadier General Estanislao López, a place where the history of Santa Fe beats every day to the rhythm of its people.

For the Sabalero people, López is not a distant figure; he is a flag, a territory, and an identity that is defended with the same passion with which every jersey is defended. The event allowed us to reaffirm the ties between the institution and the Government of the Province of Santa Fe, in a meeting with Governor Maximiliano Pullaro, highlighting the value of sports as a space for meeting, social construction, and cultural expression of our province.

From Club Atlético Colón, we thank the willingness and constant support, celebrating these instances that value our roots and strengthen the bond between the history of Santa Fe and its people, who find in this club a daily way to keep it alive».
