For the 2014 2015 season, Inter Milan and Nike shirked tradition for an innovative twist on the official Internazionale home jersey. Instead of boasting the familiar blue and black striping that had defined the Inter Milan home jersey for many years, the 2014 2015 home kit was a primarily black jersey, with slight blue pinstripes giving a nod to the club's older designs. This year, after a rough run for the Inter Milan football club in 2014 2015, Nike is going back to basics with the launch of the Inter Milan home kit 2015 - 2016.

The 2015 2016 home jersey design is a return to the traditional home kit style that Internazionale soccer fans remember so fondly. The shirt features broad stripes of radiant blue and dark black, with a polo shirt collar and V-neck design that balance comfort and style in equal measure.

Celebrating a Milestone

When Nike launched the new Inter Milan home shirt 2015 2016 in late May, many wondered why the kit manufacturer and club had chosen this year to return to the traditional home jersey design of Internazionale's past. Were they trying to distance themselves as much as possible from the disappointments of 2014 2015, a soccer season that ended with Inter in eighth place on the Serie A table?

As it turns out, Nike and Internazionale took a back-to-basics approach with the 2015 2016 home jersey as a way to pay tribute to a major milestone in the football club's history. The shirt is designed in honor of Inter's victory at the 1990 1991 UEFA Cup-a triumph that will celebrate its 25th anniversary with the upcoming football season.

The 1990 1991 UEFA Cup (now known, of course, as the Europa League) was a major milestone for Internazionale. Coming into that tournament, the Black and Blues hadn't won a continental football tournament since claiming the European Cup (the Champions League) twice in a row in 1964 and 1965.

The long draught came to an end with the 1990 1991 UEFA Cup, which Inter Milan won by beating Italian rivals AS Roma in a two-leg final. The victory heralded a new era of continental success for the Black and Blues, who saw two more UEFA Cup titles (in 1994 and 1998) before the decade was over.

Virtually every aspect of the Inter Milan home shirt 2015 2016-from the striping pattern to the blue and black polo collar-is designed after the 1990 1991 Inter Milan home kit. Undoubtedly, Internazionale would like to replicate the success of the 1990 1991 season. After all, the football club has only won one continental tournament since the turn of the century: the 2009 2010 Champions League, which they claimed by beating Bayern Munich in the finals.

A New Font Style

If there is one hallmark of the 2015 2016 Internazionale home jersey that differs from the 1990 1991 kit, it's the typeface. The font on the back of the soccer shirt, both for jersey numbers and player names, is distinctly more modern than anything we've seen on an Inter Milan kit in the past-an indication that, while the Black and Blues are surely hoping to replicate the success of their 1990s era, they are also looking forward.

The jersey numbers look particularly striking with the new Inter Milan home shirt 2015 2016. The ends of each number are angular and pointed, while the curves of the numbers are rounded and loose. The numbers are rendered in a bold white design, but each number is also redrawn on the inside with thinner blue lines, for a unique and eye-catching aesthetic.

Clearly, Nike worked hard this year to create an impressive design, and the result might be the most immediately striking Internazionale home kit we've seen yet.
