Inter Milan reveal new badge to mark 113th birthday
The new Inter badge is a simplified and predominantly white update on the classic design
Inter Milan have unveiled a new badge to mark their 113th birthday, to mixed reviews on social media.
The new badge is a scaled-back version of the old design, with the gold central plate the most notable absentee in the new design. Black and blue have been retained around the outer edges of the badge, which is now predominantly white.

Alongside colour changes, the lettering has also seen simplified. Inter's "IMFC" acronym has now been reduced to just "IM". The move has been criticised by fans of the club on social media - with the decision likened to Juventus' controversial badge rethink in 2017.
INTER NEWS Inter Milan and Pirelli to split after 26 years

The move comes as part of sweeping changes at Inter, who also announced earlier in the season that they would no longer wear Pirelli on their shirts. The tyre manufacturer had been a sponsor of the Serie A side since 1995.

FourFourTwo was launched in 1994 on the back of a World Cup that England hadn’t even qualified for. It was an act of madness… but it somehow worked out. Our mission is to offer our intelligent, international audience access to the game’s biggest names, insightful analysis... and a bit of a giggle. We unashamedly love this game and we hope that our coverage reflects that.
