Next season will mark the 20th year of partnership between Inter Milan and Nike. To celebrate the landmark year the new home shirt combines elements from two fan favourites of the past: the initial Nike kit of 1998/99 and the hugely popular 2010/11 kit.
The thick black and blue Nerazzurri stripes return, with a gold Swoosh and crest outline as a nod to the 98/99 strip. The 2010/11 shirt, which the team wore as reigning champions of Italy and Europe, used distorted vertical stripes to create a serpent-like effect that invoked Il Biscione, a grass snake and powerful Milanese symbol intrinsic to local identity.
During Nike's term at the club, Inter Milan have won 5 domestic titles, 4 domestic cups, 1 European title, and 1 world club trophy. For the new season, Il Biscione is back and clean black and blue stripes gradually adopt a subtle snakeskin graphic as they run down the jersey. Smart, very smart.
