The club's logo/shield is at the left hoist side of the flag, while near the right fly end there is a black map of a "Greater Palestine" (which includes the state of Israel). Along the top there is a long black-&-white checkered image that resembles a black-&-white checkered Palestinian-keffiyeh headscarf. The club's name is also shown below its logo/emblem. The logo incorporates the 4 colors of the national Palestinian flag: white, green, red & black.

"Club Deportivo Palestino S.A.D.P." is a professional football (soccer) club based in the city of Santiago, Chile. The club was founded by a group of Palestinians on 8 August 1920; the name of the club reflects the origin in Chile's Palestinian community. The "1" in the numbers on the team's jerseys were shaped like a map of Palestine, until Chile's top soccer league penalized the club in January 2014.

The referenced "Funambulist" article states: "Palestino was founded in 1916, a year before the Balfour Declaration, when the British government decided to support the establishment of a Jewish homeland in Palestine: the first political stone in the creation of the State of Israel. They played in amateurism with a team formed mostly by Arab players ...". Mostly means not all, i.e. there must also have been Jewish players. That's what "Palestine" meant at those times: the homeland of Jewish and Arab inhabitants of what is today Israel and Jordan (later Jordan was separated and given to the Hashemites). The stipulated exclusive Arab-Palestine roots which are being expressed today by the flag and the club is unfounded (I don't comment here the "Palestine map", which is "showing its original boundaries before 1948, that is before the existence of the State of Israel", since we are required not to talk about politics here).
