Official Inter Milan jerseys 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. since the fascist party of Italy considered that the name Inter did not reflect the local values. The club was renamed after the patron saint of the city and received new white jerseys 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 jerseys are often white or yellow. but in the year of its centenary. the Red Cross returned to the ck as an Auswärt jersey.
