Usage Note

Rojiblanco is a compound color adjective formed from rojo (red) and blanco (white), used almost exclusively in sports to describe teams whose colors are red and white — most famously Atlético de Madrid and several other clubs. It contrasts with rojinegro (red-and-black) and blanquiazul (white-and-blue). The feminine form is rojiblanca and it agrees in number like any adjective.

Examples

"El equipo rojiblanco ganó el partido."

Natural Translation

The red-and-white team won the match.
