To coincide with the club’s new-look badge, Inter Milan have unveiled an extremely garish fourth shirt, the first to feature the side’s latest branding.
The drop was met with mixed reviews, comprising of a mismatch of geometric patters, colours and stripes – all of which have featured on shirts from previous seasons.
The new shirt comes as part of the I M Collection, which celebrates the club’s values of inclusiveness and brotherhood.
“The aesthetics of the new kit is inspired by the visionary attitude of one of the club’s founders, the futurist artist Giorgio Muggiani, and recalls a vocation for inclusion, the same one that has always made Milan the most “international” city in Italy and guides Inter and Nike Football to make a difference every day, on and off the pitch, to bring about positive change not only in football but in sport in general.” The club website reads.
However, there could be an issue.
Calcio e Finanza (via Football Italia) warn that Serie A rules generally restrict teams to no more than three distinct colours featuring on their shirts.
Inter’s fourth shirt of course, features black, yellow, blue and white, leaving question marks over whether they’ll actually be able to don it on the field.
They do however also highlight that should the club submit a formal request to the governing body, they could still be allowed to wear it. You’d think they must be fairly confident they can do so, given they’ve gone ahead and officially released the strip.
The new shirt is available to buy now on the Nike website, and will be available to use on FIFA 21 Ultimate Team from April 10.
