In 2012, Adidas equipped Universidad de Chile with a yellow alternate jersey, which—it was said at the time—was special ...because it commemorated winning the Copa Sudamericana. Now, the German brand is once again adding this color to the student team's kits, a color that divides fans. The design "evokes the alternate model used between 2012 and 2014; this jersey revives a look that quickly earned a place in the hearts of fans in 2025," states the brand, because during that period, the U won a national tournament (Apertura 2012) and a Copa Chile (2012-13).
