Whether it is the origin of Inter Milan's team building or the complicated relationship between the two sides using a stadium, the feud between the two teams keeps cutting, and the reasons are still chaotic.
In the last issue, we told the story of Argentina's centennial derby, Boca Juniors and riverbed jerseys. For details, see →, the secret hidden in the jersey-South American powerhouse, the jersey is casual. In this issue, we will talk about the story of Milan jerseys.
The origin of the club
1899 12 16 A group of fans gathered in the room of Dunaward Hotel to set up a sports club-Milan Cricket and Football Club. Founder: Alfred Edwards. After a hundred years of ups and downs, AC Milan has developed into one of the greatest teams in the world today. In order to distinguish it from Inter Milan, another football club in Milan, it is generally called AC Milan, or simply called Milan. The traditional uniform of AC Milan is a jersey with red and black stripes, so it is often nicknamed "Rossoneri" (Italian meaning "Rossoneri").
Even if the sky is dark, the sun will shine on the San Siro.
San siro stadium. This stadium was built in 1926, which is much younger than AC Milan, which was founded in 1899, and Inter Milan, which was split in 1908. This stadium is located in the San Siro area of Milan, so it can be called "San Siro". It comes from Pirelli, a businessman, a loyal fan of AC Milan and a gift from fans to their home team.
However, the Milan official who owns the stadium named it "Meazza Stadium" after Giuseppe Meazza, the core striker who won the Italian World Cup twice in 1930s. Interestingly, this great striker made his career debut at Inter Milan, and after playing for more than ten years, he played for AC Milan for two years. Therefore, from the official to the fans, Inter Milan is more keen to call this stadium the Meazza Stadium, while AC Milan fans have always called it the San Siro Stadium.
Red and black devil
In Italy, fans call Milan the Rossoneri, Rosso means red in Italian, neri means black, so Milan's nickname is the Rossoneri. Red and black uniforms became Milan uniforms in the early 20th century. Under the idea of Herbort Kolping, the captain and founder of Milan Cricket and Football Club at that time, the uniform became the traditional uniform of Milan, which is still in use today.
As a giant deeply loved by fans, AC Milan naturally has many nicknames. In addition to the well-known Rossoneri, AC Milan also has nicknames such as the Rossoneri devil. Isn't that surprising? So how did the title of "devil" come from?
"Red is the color of the devil, while black exudes terror." This sentence comes from Hubert Kipling, one of the founders of Milan. The red and black colors of AC Milan are not randomly selected, and red represents the passion of the players; And black represents the opponent's fear when facing AC Milan. Therefore, AC Milan chose red and black jerseys at the beginning of its establishment. Explaining the design of the jersey, he said: "Our color is red, because we are demons; Our color is so black that every opponent is afraid. "
AC Milan really got its own red and black "devil" title, and since its establishment, it has become a fearsome team in the European arena. "We are the devil's team, so our colors will be red, which represents the flame, and black, which scares our opponents." Gilpin's red and black design created a legendary red and black empire and became an eternal classic in the history of European club jerseys.
Historical classic shirt
As an important force in the world football map, the red and black jerseys have become the symbol of Milan and witnessed the glorious history of the team. Some of the classic jerseys have also become part of the legend of Milan together with those legendary players who have been famous for thousands of years.
1987- 1992, with Berlusconi in Milan, the advertisement on the chest of the jersey became Mediolanum. In the Milan team at that time, there were three Dutch people with superior strength: Rijkaard, Gullit and Van Basten. The Three Musketeers helped Milan coach Sacchi win his first Champions League trophy and the first Italian Super Cup. The Italian tricolor flag on the left chest of the shirt is the best proof that the Rossoneri won the Serie A championship in the 87/88 season.
During this period, AC Milan, with three swordsmen in front and reinforced concrete defense behind, won two Serie A trophies, two Champions League trophies and two European Super Cups, sweeping the European continent.
In terms of personal honor, this stage is also the golden age when Milan players rule the world. 1987, Gullit, wearing a red and black shirt, defeated Futre and won the Golden Globe Award; 1988, the "Dutch Three Musketeers" headed by Van Basten won the top three Golden Globes. From 65438 to 0989, Milan players continued to occupy the top three of the Golden Globe Awards (Van Basten, baresi, Rijkaard); 1992, Van Basten won the Golden Globe Award three times.
1992- 1994, the coffee brand Mota became the sponsor of Milan's chest advertisement. At this stage, Milan continued the glory of previous years, achieved three consecutive Serie A titles, and defeated Barcelona's "Dream Team" led by cruyff 4-0 in the Champions League final of 1994, and won the fifth Champions League trophy in the club's history.
Judging from the 1994/95 season, the combination of lottery and Opel is undoubtedly the classic combination of Milan jerseys in the hearts of the old Rossoneri. In the summer before the start of the 1995/96 season, the Rossoneri welcomed two superstars: george weah, who later became Liberian President, and roberto baggio, the idol of thousands of fans. These two men and savicevic formed Milan's horrible frontcourt trident. Milan also took the lead in the league this season and finally won the Serie A championship. George weah also won the World Footballer of the Year at the end of 1995.
1998/99 At the beginning of the season, the combination of Adidas and Opel was not only the witness of Milan ruling Europe at the turn of the century, but also the eternal memory of Milan fans. This jersey has left too many historical classic moments. In the 2002/03 season, Shevchenko's winning penalty beat Juventus six times to win the Champions League. In the 2004/05 season, Rui Costa and Materazzi watched fireworks together in the "Fireworks Derby" of the Champions League quarter-finals, which made Milan fans, especially those with a long history, never forget the match between Adidas and Opel.
In terms of personal honor, during this period, in 2004, "Ukrainian nuclear warhead" Shevchenko won the Golden Globe Award for his outstanding performance last season.
Since the 2006/07 season, bwin has replaced Opel, which carries countless fans' fond memories, as the new chest sponsor of Milan jerseys. This jersey is fortunate to accompany our prince of San Siro, Kaka, in his golden years. His perfect performance in the 2006/07 season helped him win the 2007 Golden Globe Award and the World Player of the Year, becoming the last player to win this honor before the arrival of the Mero era.
In the 2006/07 season, the Rossoneri soldiers wore this jersey to the final in Athens, Europe. Super Pi Bo scored twice, which helped Milan to revenge Liverpool and reach the top of Europe for the seventh time. After that, Milan won the Italian Super Cup and the World Club Cup in succession, creating another brilliant red and black era.
20 10/ 1 1 At the beginning of the season, Milan, which bid farewell to the bwin era, ushered in a brand-new chest advertising sponsor-Emirates Airlines. The jersey also changed its previous style and became a thick stripe design. 2010/1/season, under the leadership of allegri, the Rossoneri with Ibrahimovic, Pirlo, Ronaldinho and Pato won the Serie A championship by 6 points. At the championship celebration, Kevin Prince Boateng paid tribute to Michael Jackson's dance, which has been a topic of discussion among Milan fans for many years.
After winning the Serie A championship, Milan also won the Italian Super Cup and the 20 16 Italian Super Cup.
The origin of the club
Shortly after the establishment of Milan Football and Cricket Club, the increasingly tense atmosphere in the club reflected the political differences in Italy at that time.
The rise of democracy in Italy has influenced the organization of football system in this country. 1908, the Italian Football Association established two leagues: the league champions allowed foreign players to participate, but the Italian champions did not.
This situation makes gilpin (Herbert Kilpin, the founder of the club) feel sad, and also makes the Italian and Swiss players in the club extremely dissatisfied with the team being too British and snobbish. They left the team angrily and set up Inter Milan Football Club on their own. 1908 On March 9th, Inter Milan Football Club was established. This is also the meaning of the word "international". As a matter of fact, the first captain of Inter Milan was Swiss Ernst Mankert. The representative colors of the club are gold, black and blue.
1908, 44 veteran Rossoneri left AC Milan club to set up Inter Milan due to objections.
Inter Milan has injected the principle of internationalism, so their team also includes some Swiss players. And there are fewer restrictions on who can represent them and who can't, so it is not surprising that they have achieved greater success than Milan.
This separation is not only supported by intellectuals and proletariat to a great extent, but also inspired by the artist Giorgio Mugiani. Inter Milan is regarded as an "elite club". Although the early Milan derby was filled with the atmosphere of political differences, it was eventually eroded with the passage of time.
Snake essence
At the beginning of the establishment of Inter Milan, the artist Mu Ghianni designed the original blue and black stripe pattern of the team uniform, which is the basic pattern of the team uniform that is still in use today. The color of the jersey chosen by the team reflects the romantic tendency. Black represents the night, and blue represents the sea. It can also be said that blue is seawater, which is used to extinguish the red flame.
Enemies in the same city, same beliefs
As the two giants of Italian football, the derby between Milan and Inter Milan has always been one of the most anticipated matches in Serie A. Since then, the passion of red and black and the persistence of blue and black have been tumbling in the original blue water of Apennine Peninsula.
Even the city's sworn enemies used the same element in their jerseys-St. George's Cross.
The most important elements of the Milan emblem are the coat of arms and the Red Cross. The castle above was conceived by Fort Sforzesko. The Red Cross is also a historical imprint of religious and crusader members. The asymmetrical laurel and oak below symbolize wisdom and strength.
As for the Red Cross on a white background, some people say it has something to do with England. Milan was originally founded by several British people, and the Red Cross on a white background represents England. But in fact, the Red Cross on a white background is called "St George's Cross". St George was a Roman officer who was born in the third century A.D. and was killed defending Christians. Later, many places in Europe used the symbol of St. George as the city emblem.
1 1 century, a bloody war between nobles and civilians took place in Milan. In this war, nobles held the Red Cross shield and civilians held Bai Dun. By the end of the war in A.D. 1045, Milan was in a state of peace, and these two symbols were combined into one and became the symbol of Milan Autonomous Region.
In the home uniforms of 20 14- 15 and 20 15- 16, in order to emphasize the importance of tradition, Adidas put the St. George's Cross emblem representing Milan on the chest of the jersey. In fact, the club wore this badge on its jerseys from its establishment to the 1940s, and so did the jerseys of Milan Club's centenary birthday.
Coincidentally, on May 27th, 2007, Inter Milan and Nike jointly launched the new season away uniforms. The big red cross embroidered on the front of this white jersey is the symbol of Milan. The team emblem is embroidered with "1908-2008" on one side, with the words "Centennial Inter Milan" printed on the bottom and a five-pointed star representing the champion directly above. Shorts are black.
In fact, the jerseys of the centennial celebration of Inter Milan in 2007 caused great controversy, and the Turks also sued them to UEFA, thinking that the jerseys reminded them of the bloody history of the Crusades. However, what annoys Inter Milan people even more is that the production of jerseys is not strict. There are two mistakes in the first batch of celebration jerseys in the world. First, the date of the establishment of the team on the jersey was wrong (March 9 was written as March 8), and then the Italian word Nerazzurro, which means blue and black, was written as Nerazzurro. Those jerseys that were sold before they could be recycled finally became "treasures".
The new away jersey also brought good luck to Inter Milan. On May 27th, 2007, Italian time, the final round of Serie A ended. Inter Milan beat Turin 3-0 at home, setting a new Serie A record of 97 points and 30 wins.
The eternal Milan derby
The Milan derby is not just a regular game in the league: it is a tradition and the most attractive attraction in sports. At the same time, it is also a unique and complicated game, which shows the foundation of the two clubs and many differences since their establishment.
Different from other derbies in the world, there is no difference in political or religious beliefs between Milan and Derby. This confrontation is purely athletic and stems from a strong desire for honor.
Sheva 14, the king of Milan Derby, scored a goal, and icardi, the new generation, also created a feat of five consecutive kills in Milan Derby. Milan, with the title of fashion capital, has diverted two unspeakable feelings of a city, including the love and killing of baresi brothers, and even the gentle Kaka is at odds with Veron; Materazzi and Rui Costa enjoyed the fireworks-like life, but it seems that it was a lifetime ago that Paolo Maldini and Sanetti appreciated each other.
Today, the Milan duo have been away from their brilliant stage for nearly 10 years. Manchester derby and Madrid derby overshadowed Milan derby in attention, but no one can deny that the city won 10 champions league. In the soil of Renaissance, the confrontation between Snake Elves and Azar defined the extreme romance on the top of Milan Cathedral for a long time.
Yes, no city can have two teams like this. They were full of origins from the beginning, and they confronted each other for a century. They compete with each other and promote each other. They engrave the names of giants with honor and tell the story of time with inside information. From this point of view, no matter how long time has passed, the Milan derby will occupy a place in the hearts of fans.
This is the whole secret of this jersey. Which team's jerseys do you want to see in the next issue? Welcome to tell us in the comments section!
