The club's badge represents [[Mapuche]] chieftain [[Colocolo (tribal chief)|Colo Colo]], an important Wall Mapu member who fought in the [[Arauco War]] against the [[Spanish empire]] (1536–1818).<ref name="Colocolo">{{cite web |date = 19 April 2012 |url = http://www.elamaule.cl/noticia/deporte/87anoscolocolo-conoce-quien-fue-el-cacique-colo-colo |title = Historia del mapuche Colocolo |publisher = El Maule |access-date = 10 April 2013 |archive-date = 22 September 2013 |archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20130922160244/http://www.elamaule.cl/noticia/deporte/87anoscolocolo-conoce-quien-fue-el-cacique-colo-colo |url-status = live }}</ref> On 19 April 1925, when the club was established, Luis Contreras – one of the players that founded the club – defined the team's badge, in representation of the chief and the country's indigenous people.

Throughout its history, Colo-Colo's uniform has been a white shirt and black shorts. The uniform was originally designed by Juan Quiñones following the recommendations of [[David Arellano]].

In 1927, after Arellano's death while playing against Real Unión Deportiva (currently [[Real Valladolid]]), it was decided then that the badge will wear a black horizontal band over it forever, to represent the institution's eternal mourning.

The team's away kits have varied through its history, from green between 1927 and the mid-1970s and to red from 1975 to 1988.
