Club Universitario was founded in 1924 as a sports club for the students of Rosario's four universities existing by then. The colors adopted were related to the representative color of each university, therefore they were red (Medical school), green (Engineering), blue (Law) and yellow (Economics), according to the act of foundation of the club. Nevertheless, sports teams of Universitario de Rosario have worn black and blue colors as their representative colors. [1]
