In what will be welcome news for kit enthusiasts and Nerazzurri supporters alike, Inter Milan are set to bring back one of the most beloved emblems in club history. Footy Headlines can exclusively leak that Nike will reintroduce the iconic 1979-1988 crest for the club's 2027-28 away kit.
Inter 27-28 Away Kit
This picture shows the colors and crest planned for the Nike Inter 27-28 away shirt.
The Nike Inter 27-28 away jersey will continue the club's long-standing tradition of utilizing white as the primary base color.
Accent details across the kit will feature "Lyon Blue" - a vivid royal shade that Nike has regularly featured in recent Nerazzurri collections, applied to the logos, trim, and accompanying graphics.
The defining feature of the shirt will be the return of the legendary 1979–88 crest. Unlike the club's traditional circular monogram, this shield design features a white backdrop crossed by diagonal black and blue stripes, crowned by a gold star and a stylized white snake (il Biscione).
First introduced ahead of the 1979-80 campaign, the badge brought immediate luck as Inter captured their twelfth Scudetto that same season.
The revival comes at a fitting milestone, as the 2027-28 campaign coincides with the 120th anniversary of the club's foundation in 1908.
While recent kits have occasionally incorporated snake-inspired patterns and graphics, the authentic 1979-88 shield has not appeared on an official Inter match jersey since the classic Misura-sponsored shirts of the late 1980s.
