Based on partial or low-quality photos.

The home shirt in which Olimpia won the first league championship in their history in 1912. It already featured the white design with a black band across the chest, which the club had debuted in 1909 at the Torneo Olímpico Nacional; before that, the team wore black. The idea came from founder William Paats, who was inspired by a white cup with a black band that reminded him of the Netherlands, and had the shirts made there.
