In 1926 David Arellano managed to be the scorer of the "Copa América" and on a tour to Europe, Arellano himself made known to the world the acrobatic "Chilena" as recounted by the writer Eduardo Galeano, one more year in 1927 playing in Valladolid , the captain received a blow that caused peritonitis causing his death, that is why the club wears a mourning on its shield.

Arellano and the group of rebels never suspected that the club would stand out for its popular roots and would become the largest in the country, its sporting successes are not minor: 32 national championships, 12 Chile Cup, 3 international titles, the only one that has never descended, among other achievements, and it is that pages would be missing to tell their achievements and highlight their players, capture the joy and carnival that it generates especially in the popular class.

¡ Vámonos Quiñones ! Arengaba David Arellano a Juan Quiñones para formar un nuevo club, que diera mayores oportunidades a los jóvenes y que profesionalizara el futbol, así fue como “Los Rebeldes” abandonaron la reunión del club Magallanes y se fueron al Bar “El Quitapenas” a formar un nuevo club, lo bautizaron como “Colo-Colo” en honor a la lucha del cacique Mapuche y sus colores, el blanco por la pureza y nobleza del club y el negro por la sobriedad y seriedad del nuevo proyecto con fecha de fundación un 19 de Abril de 1925.

En 1926 David Arellano logra ser el goleador de la “Copa América” y en una gira a Europa el propio Arellano da a conocer al mundo la acrobática “Chilena” tal como lo relata el escritor Eduardo Galeano, un año más en 1927 jugando en Valladolid, el capitán recibió un golpe que le ocasionó una peritonitis causándole la muerte, es por esto que el club porta un luto sobre su escudo.

Arellano y el grupo de rebeldes nunca sospecharon que el club destacara por su arraigo popular y llegara a ser el más grande del país, sus éxitos deportivos no son menores: 32 campeonatos nacionales, 12 Copa Chile, 3 títulos internacionales, el único que nunca ha descendido, entre otros logros, y es que faltarían páginas para contar sus logros y destacar a sus jugadores, plasmar la alegría y el carnaval que genera especialmente en la clase popular.
