What's that circle above the Nike swoosh on Inter Milan's jersey?

^Picture of it^

Its a green dot surrounded by a white ring, surrounded by a red ring. I just want to know, because the kit with the circle isn't available on the Nike online store; just the Inter store.What's that circle above the Nike swoosh on Inter Milan's jersey?The circle is a badge given to Inter for winning the Coppa Italia (the play-offs). On the gear, there is also the Italy coat-of-arms badge which was given to them because they won the italian League, and in a few weeks another badge might also be added: the silver FIFA coat-of-arms, for winning the Club World Cup.



Edit: I've looked on the Inter store, and in the product description it said (it was written in Italian, nd in red at the bottom) that the team kits with the winners' badges will be sent to stores after the 1st of September. Maybe that's why they weren't available in the Nike store.



Hope this helps :-)What's that circle above the Nike swoosh on Inter Milan's jersey?It's called the "coccarda tricolore" (tri-colored cockade) and is worn on the shirt of the team that is the current holder of the Coppa Italia (Italian Cup).

It's similar to the "scudetto" patch that is worn by the defending Serie A champions.

Inter Milan's 2010/11 shirts display both patches since they won both tournaments last season (2009/10).
