Explained: Inter Milan's yellow kit choice for Champions League final vs PSG
The 2025 UEFA Champions League final, held on May 31, 2025, at the Allianz Arena in Munich, Germany, marks a historic clash between Inter Milan and Paris Saint-Germain (PSG). As the match kicks off, fans have noticed an unusual sight: Inter Milan, the Nerazzurri, are donning their vibrant yellow third kit instead of their iconic black-and-blue stripes. This article explores the reasons behind Inter's unique kit choice for this monumental match. UEFA Kit Regulations In the UEFA Champions League, kit selections are governed by strict regulations to ensure visual clarity for players, referees, and spectators. For the 2025 final, PSG were designated as the 'home' team based on the UEFA tournament bracket, determined months earlier during the draw process. As the home side, PSG have the priority to wear their traditional home kit, featuring navy blue shorts and shirts with a central red and white stripe. Inter's classic black-and-blue striped home kit, a symbol of the club's identity, was deemed too similar in color to PSG's home strip, risking a visual clash on the pitch. UEFA rules prohibit such conflicts, requiring the away team—Inter, in this case—to select an alternative kit that provides clear distinction. Why the Third Kit Over the Second? Inter had two options to avoid the clash: their second kit (typically white with blue details) or their third kit (a striking golden yellow design with black accents). Surprisingly, Inter opted for the third kit, a decision that has sparked curiosity among fans. While the white second kit could have sufficed, reports indicate that the choice of the yellow third kit was unanimously supported by the players themselves, possibly influenced by superstition and past success. This season, Inter wore the golden yellow third kit twice in the Champions League, securing victories both times: a 1-0 win against Sparta Prague in the league phase in January and a 2-0 triumph over Feyenoord in the Round of 16. This winning streak in the yellow kit may have fueled a sense of confidence, leading Inter to embrace it for the final.
