When was Inter Milan's away jersey first used?

This jersey is indeed somewhat similar to the flag of England, but here, it represents another meaning - the red cross pattern on a white background is actually the symbol of Milan, Italy. In the eleventh century AD, there was a bloody war between the nobility and the common people in Milan: at that time, the nobility held the red cross coat of arms, while the common people held the white shield. In 1045 AD, when the war ended and peace returned to the city of Milan, these two symbolic emblems were combined into one, becoming the symbol of the Milan Autonomous Region and a memory of history. In the early part of the last century, when Inter Milan first founded the team (the team was still called "Ambrosiana"), they used similar jerseys.

In fact, last summer, Inter Milan printed this city emblem on the back and neck of their new jerseys. At that time, Italy was investigating the phone scandal, and their city rival AC Milan was likely to be relegated. Therefore, many Italian Inter Milan fans understood the meaning of this logo early: there is only one team in the city of Milan! However, looking back at history, we can find that the mark of the red cross on a white background can also be found on AC Milan: not only do they have a similar pattern on their team emblem; moreover, they also used this white background during the club’s centenary celebration in 1999. The red cross emblem on the bottom is embroidered on the left side of the chest of the home jersey. It seems that the struggle between the two teams in Milan City is also evident in the expressiveness of the jerseys.

In addition, behind this "cross" is the memory of the first Crusade conducted by the Lombard army in 1095. In Italy, the most famous "Crusaders" are undoubtedly Parma. When the club was first established in 1913, their team uniforms were white with a black cross on the base. Although after entering the 1980s, in order to adapt to the changing trend, Parma added a black cross on the jersey. They have made a series of reforms that deviate from tradition, but in recent years, they have returned to the original style, and even the sponsor logo is "not allowed" to be echoed. The club's official explanation is "to make football purer."

Let’s talk about Inter Milan’s new season away jersey. Although this design is bold enough, it is a pity that the first batch of this jersey launched in the world had two huge errors: First, the club was founded on March 9, 1908. Inter Milan has March 8, 1908 printed on the lower corner of this jersey; secondly, the spelling of "Blue and Black" in Italian has changed from the standard "NERAZZURRO" to "NERAZZURO", missing an "R" . It’s really not decent for such a joke to appear on the occasion of the club’s centenary celebration. Although Nike has stated that it hopes to recycle the wrong version of the jersey to make up for its mistakes, this “fake” has been sold out in Italy...
