Inter have opted to wear their striking yellow third kit for the Champions League final against Paris Saint-Germain on Saturday night.
The Serie A club are famous for their black and blue striped home shirt they’ve worn for decades.
But with PSG named as the home team for Saturday’s final in Munich, Inter are unable to wear their home strip due to a kit clash with the French champions.
Inter have a white away shirt which they have worn on three occasions in the Champions League this season.
The first ended in a 1-0 defeat to Bayer Leverkusen in December and for their next away game in Europe, Inter switched to their third yellow kit and went on to secure a 1-0 win against Sparta Prague.
Inter continued this for the knockout stage as they wore the yellow strip for their 2-0 win away to Feyenoord in the last-16 stage.
The Italian club wore their home shirt away to Bayern Munich in the quarter final but for the away leg of their semi-final against Barcelona which ended in a thrilling 3-3 draw, Inter opted to revert back to their white away kit.

Why Inter are wearing their third yellow kit for the Champions League final?
Inter were given the choice of wearing their white away shirt or their yellow third strip for the Champions League final by UEFA.
The Serie A runners-up did not give an official reason for their decision but they have won both of their games in their yellow third kit in the Champions League this season.
When asked about the decision to wear the third kit for the final, Inter midfielder Nicolo Barella dismissed suggestions that there was any superstition involved.
‘We had a chat, there were a number of options on the table and we went for the yellow shirt,’ Barella said.
‘Nothing more than that, it’s a shirt that we like and so we hope that this jersey can help us as well in this final.’

Inter also released a statement on their choice of kit for the final which read: ‘Ahead of the big game, UEFA has declared the kits that the two teams will wear: PSG, who are officially the home side, as established in the tournament brackets months ago, will play in their traditional Home Kit which is blue, red and white, the same colours that represent Paris.
‘More specifically, Luis Enrique’s side will wear the blue shirt with a red line running through the centre, with blue shorts and socks, and white details all through the kits. The goalkeeper will be dressed in all-green.
‘Inter, the official away side, will play in this season’s Third Kit. Simone Inzaghi’s boys will therefore wear the yellow kit with a design based on symbols referring to the city of Milan, all in black. This will be the kit for the ten outfield players: the Inter goalkeeper, however, will wear an all-orange kit.
‘The tones that have represented the colour of the Clubs’ third kit for many years are very much back for the 2024/25 season. During this year’s Champions League, the Nerazzurri have worn this kit in their away game against Sparta Prague on Matchday 7 of the Legaue Phase (0-1, Lautaro) and in our win against Feyenoord in Rotterdam in the first leg of the Round of 16 (0-2, Thuram, Lautaro).
‘Inter will wear yellow shorts and socks to match the shirt. The small new detail that will be added will be the special writing above the club’s logo, referring to the extraordinary occasion that the kit is being used for: FINAL MUNICH 2025 – Munich Football Arena 31 May – Paris Saint-Germain VS FC Internazionale Milano.’
