“The jersey is like a roadmap of Inter’s recent history,” Pete Hoppins, Nike Football Apparel Senior Design Director, told the club’s official website.
“We picked out 10 designs from the past 20 years and some are synonymous with great victories while others are fan favourites.
“The real challenge was to get all these different striped patterns to work cohesively and it will be great to see the players wearing it in such a huge match.”
“It’s a jersey that stirs the memory. Each different pattern makes you think of favourite players, important matches and special seasons.
“We are proud of our relationship with Inter and this shirt is a great way of showing that.”
The Nerazzurri have also announced that ‘a vaporknit match-level version’ of the kit has been produced, limited to 1908 units to ‘honour’ their founding year.
