The shield of the Chilean Soccer Federation was changed after Chile played the World Cup in South Africa in 2010. At the same time, the Chile’s jerseys changed their brand of sportswear from Brooks to Puma. What this shield shows is the star of the Chilean flag, with their respective colors. It was taken in Marcelo Bielsa's farewell match, when the Chile’s national team played against Uruguay’s, in which Chile won by 2 goals to 0. I like this shield, for its simplicity, elegance and the colors palette used, it also brings me very fond memories, since several myths were demolished such as to practice a sport only talent is needed, which is false. Bielsa, with that Chilean team, showed that with effort, work, perseverance, and accepting defeat as a learning process, they serve to achieve sporting achievements by supplementing talent. In addition, the successes of the Chilean team have been the prelude for society to demand changes for a better and fairer country.
