Italian football club Inter Milan is one of the most popular clubs in Europe. Founded in 1908 and based in Milan, Inter Milan has won 33 domestic trophies in total.

Over the club’s history, the club have won 19 league titles, 8 Coppa Italias and three Champions League trophies.

Their home ground is the San Siro Stadium which has a capacity of 80,018 spectators after undergoing renovations during the 2015/16 season.

Many things have changed over the course of the club’s history, including the team’s kit. Inter Milan has a rich history of kit changes and sponsorships, ranging from Puma to Nike.

The team’s logo has also gone through many variations over the years too and has recently been changed yet again in 2021.

Over the years they have had many different styles that have been very popular with their fans, one of which being their striped uniforms. In this article, let’s look at how Inter Milan’s kit has evolved throughout the years.

An Iconic Italian Football Team

Inter Milan, or simply known as ‘Inter’, is known as one of the best teams in Italy and they are second on the list of champions for the Serie A, behind Juventus.

Having won the 2020-21 season and being so high on the champions list, Inter Milan proves to be a great football team for fans around the world to bet on.

If fans want to back Inter as their favourite team in the 2022-23 season, then they can take a look at a variety of their games to bet on via the LeoVegas Sportsbook right now.

Although they were the defending champions last season, the club missed out on the 2021-22 Serie A title to AC Milan.

Even though they performed really well last season, having won the Coppa Italia and Supercoppa, the team are still looking ahead for an even better performance in 2023.

Denzel Dumfries, wingback for Inter, recently said he was optimistic about the rest of the current season and hopes that they can regroup during the World cup to come back stronger.

Looking to the past, one of the iconic moments in the club’s history was when they won the Scudetto in 1989 where their classic blue and black stripes became known.

Since then they have won numerous trophies including the UEFA Cup in 1991.

Their Mourinho era catapulted them into the spotlight where they won the UEFA Champions League in 2010 and the UEFA Super Cup in the same year.

Following this, Inter released a special one-off kit, showing their Champions League and Club World Cup victories.

Kit Changes Throughout The Years

It’s important to note that Inter Milan’s kits have changed significantly over the years. In 1928, their first kit resembled those of other football teams at the time; it was made up of a red design with a white cross in the centre.

The following year saw some changes to this design: red and white were replaced by black and blue. And so began a long history of black-and-blue jerseys for Inter.

In 1981, Inter Milan became one of many European football clubs to sign on sponsors (specifically Inno-hit). This marked an important shift in kit design across football.

These new sponsorships required more space on players’ shirts than any previous sponsor had previously required before.

As such, stripe widths varied wildly throughout this period—from thick blocks to pinstripes and various shades of blue.

Most Popular Styles For Their Football Kit

The most popular kit of all time is the black and blue kit. This kit has been worn by Inter Milan since the 1920s and is still their home kit to this day.

Blockier stripes have been the most popular throughout their time as a club, with the 2000s introducing brighter shades of dark blue. The away kits have always featured a white background with various detailing.

Kit Sponsors & Suppliers Over The Years

Nike currently manufactures the Inter Milan kit, having taken over from Umbro in 1998. Since then, they have been responsible for producing several different designs continuing the iconic black and blue third kit.

The Italian giants’ first-ever kit supplier was Puma who supplied their kits between 1979 and 1982, while they also dealt with Mecsport (1982-1986), Le Coq Sportif (1986-1988) and Uhlsport (1988-1991).

Home Vs Away Kits: Paying Homage To Their Roots

The Inter Milan kit is generally divided up into 3: the home kits, away kits and third kits. The home kits are usually black with thin blue stripes, while the away kits are white.

These distinctions have been consistent throughout their history, and sometimes with only minor modifications to details. The third kit appeared in the 90s and has featured bright yellow.

For Inter’s 22/23 kit, Nike have created impressive clothing for all three kits, sticking to highlighting the club’s history and identity.

The new home kit of course embraces the classic striped shirts from 1908 in dark blue and black, with shorts and socks in the same colours to match.

For this season, Nike opted to use bright yellow for their third kit. However, while this colour is a striking difference to the home colours and design, it isn’t the first time Inter have worn yellow.

This year the entire third kit is in bright yellow as the colour has a significant link to Inter’s identity.

To signify welcoming players from all around the world, this season’s Inter away kit features a detailed world map design.

Quite the statement piece, the kit is made up of a strong white base colour with light aqua world map on the shirt which celebrates the team’s international presence
