Official Inter Milan Shirts with player name badges. Inter's favorite Nerazzurri colors were chosen to counteract the colors of the city rival AC Milan and represent the day and night sky. However. in the 20s. the club was forced to abandon its colors. as the fascist party of Italy believed that the name Inter did not reflect local values. The club was renamed after the patron saint of the city and received new white Shirts with a red cross modeled on the flag of the city. After the Second World War. the name and colors were restored. The colors of Inter's Auswärt Shirts are often white or yellow. but in the year of its centenary. the Red Cross returned to the ck as an Auswärt jersey.
