The Club Deportivo Guadalajara (Guadalajara Sports Club), a.k.a. "Chivas Rayadas" is one or perhaps the most famous football club in Mexico and is broadly known abroad (United States of America, Central and South America, and so on). Despite the thousands of home-made flags, the Club has an official one displayed at the building see of the Club in the City of Guadalajara. It is a horizontal bicolor red over white with a blue triangle in the hoist. Overall the flag is placed the Club's emblem, that in turn in a circular white-red striped shield surrounded by a blue ring with the Club's name: Club Deportivo Guadalajara A. C. in white; a kind of crest is made by the Guadalajara (State of Jalisco) coat of arms; bellow the achievement appears ten blue (some times white) five-pointed stars for the leage championships won by the Club.

The are also two banners enjoy of certain officiality, those are the standard (broadly used on burial ceremonies) and the pennant (Banderín) employed in every single Guadalajara domestic and international matches. Both of them follow the same pattern of the flag but with the blue triagle at the top. It is remarkable that the pennant has the red stripe on the viewer's left.
