Serie A will ban the latest Inter special kit?
When colors and design go beyond the rules
April 14th, 2021
The special kit of Inter Milan made by Nike represented the debut of the new logo on the last jersey that will have Pirelli as main sponsor. Debut that was denied the jersey in the match against Cagliari by the League. The Serie A Secretariat received Inter's request last week but the result was negative because the shirt does not comply with the various points of article 2 of the document "Rules of game uniforms".
"Except in the case in which the social colors are more than three, no element (shirt, shorts and socks) of the uniform worn by the players of the movement can contain more than three colors, without considering the colors used for the writings (number, name of the player, sponsor, etc.). If three colors are used, one must be clearly dominant on the surface of the shirt, shorts and socks and the other colors must be clearly secondary colors. the colors used are only two, one of these must be clearly dominant on the surface of the sock itself and the second appear as an unequivocally secondary color".
Although paragraph 3 of the same article allows teams to have a fourth color only "for small purely decorative elements", Inter Milan uses white, blue, black and yellow and none of these are used in a reduced way. pure decorative purpose. The fourth Inter Milan shirt of the 2020-21 season, therefore, could never take the field except on the goalkeepers' shirt - where the constraints on colors are less stringent. It had already been launched on FIFA in early April, showing it to the gaming world a week earlier than the official presentation.
Even if Inter Milan did not violate government or federal laws, the special kit could already be part of the long series of banned kits.
