The 2018-19 season marks the 20th year of partnership between FC Internazionale Milano and Nike. To celebrate, the club’s new home kit combines elements from two fan favorites of the past: the initial Nike kit of 1998-99 and the hugely popular 2010-11 kit.

The club’s original Nike kit was a quintessential Inter shirt, with thick black and blue Nerazzurri stripes augmented by a gold Swoosh and gold outline around the club crest. 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.
