Inter Milan, the other club of San Siro
Inter was born from a split with AC Milan, over a question of openness to foreign players. Its full name, Football Club Internazionale Milano, says exactly that: a club that aimed to be international from its foundation, while its neighbour remained more local.
The trophy cabinet counts about twenty Scudetti and three Champions Leagues, including the treble achieved under José Mourinho, which is unique for an Italian club. The Inter of Grande Inter in the sixties, under Helenio Herrera, remains another peak in its history.
San Siro, officially the Giuseppe Meazza Stadium, is shared with AC Milan. Its seventy-five thousand seats and spiral architecture make it one of the most impressive stadiums in Europe, and the derby della Madonnina one of the most intense fixtures on the continent.
The black and blue of the nerazzurri
Inter's home shirt is vertically striped in black and blue, earning it the nickname nerazzurri. The choice of these colours goes back to the founding of the club: black for the night, blue for the sky.
The circular badge, with the club's initials intertwined, is one of the most elegant in European football. It has undergone several modernisations but remains true to this original design, and collections often feature it as a pattern.
Home, away, third: which one to choose?
The home shirt is the black and blue striped one, which the vast majority of supporters buy, and it remains identifiable for decades afterwards.
The away shirt is traditionally white, often with black and blue details. It's the one that's easiest to wear away from the stadium.
The third takes the most liberties in design and is produced in smaller quantities. It's the one that becomes sought after once it's sold out.
Supporter version or player version?
The supporter version has a straight cut, looser fit, made of breathable yet soft material. This is the one you wear at the stadium and on the street, and it's the default choice if you're unsure.
The player version, known as authentic, reflects the on-pitch kit: a body-hugging cut, technical fabric, and different finishes. It is noticeably more fitted, to the point where it's common to go up a size, sometimes two.
What size Inter shirt should I get?
In the supporter version, your usual t-shirt size is usually fine, with enough room to wear a layer underneath.
In the player version, expect to go up at least one size, as these shirts are cut closer to the body.
For kids, the junior size charts follow age and height in centimetres rather than adult sizes.
The printing: name, number, and badges
The official Serie A printing has its own typography, different from that used in the Champions League. This distinguishes an official customisation from an approximation.
A personalised shirt cannot be exchanged, so the size should be checked before ordering. And a player's name is a long-term bet, which leads some supporters to keep a plain shirt.
The other Serie A clubs
The Italian league is rich in historic clubs, and each has its page:
- The Milan AC, the neighbour of San Siro and the opponent in the derby della Madonnina.
- The Juventus, the most successful club in Italy and the rival in the Italian derby.
- The AS Roma and Lazio Rome, the two clubs of the capital.
- Naples, Atalanta Bergamo, Fiorentina, Torino, Bologna, Udinese, Cagliari, Hellas Verona, and Sampdoria complete the selection.
The other clubs page covers the rest of the league, while the Serie A page gathers them all.
