Today we’re here to talk about Inter Milan’s third kit, a jersey that many of you will no doubt have already seen, as it draws inspiration from a kit from the past, featuring colours that saw Inter rise to greatness. It’s a jersey that Inter fans remember fondly, as it brings back memories of joy and victories. Inter’s third kit is a tribute to the Inter side of a few years ago, and today we’ll be taking a closer look at it together.
As we’ve mentioned so far, the third kit reminds us very much of the one from the ’98 season, when Ronaldo Nazario and his team-mates lifted the UEFA Cup. In fact, we can see many details that are practically identical. Indeed, we find the same colours – albeit in different shades – the same designs and the same philosophy: to keep Inter’s name at the very top.
The jersey features a rather muted colour scheme, with alternating grey and black horizontal stripes. The sleeves also feature a small blue stripe, ensuring the club’s signature colour is not missing. The classic Pirelli sponsor logo appears in gold, a shade that complements the design perfectly and makes this jersey stand out a little more.
Let’s move on to the kit that Fonseca’s players will be wearing: a much more striking and bold design, but one that pays homage to Roma’s 1998–99 kit. The main colour is black, a very intense shade that shares the limelight with an almost neon orange found on the Roma crest, the Nike logo, the shoulders and part of the V-neck.
In addition, the club’s sponsor’s logo appears in white, but the most interesting detail is on the side. If you look closely, you’ll see a colour combination that has become a classic for the American brand: the famous Safari colourway, which we first saw on shoes and later on the Mercurial boots worn by Ronaldo.
