The first uniform was a white jersey with white shorts. Their first coach was the Governor of Chiquimula, Colonel Guadalupe López Ochoa who got new uniforms: a white a blue stripes jersey with white shorts.
[edit] The Name
Many of the footballers had their headquarters in the Roxi barbershop, owned by Carlos Enrique Morales Hernández aka Quique. One night in a player's meeting, one customer who came from El Salvador told them about an argentinian movie was showing in that country, Pelota de Trapo (Ball Rag). The movie was about a group of kids who plays with the name of Sacachispas. He suggested naming that way the Chiquimula football team. That led to the name of the current Club Social y Deportivo Sacachispas.
