One of the names of the Italian Championship. Do not forget that the symbol of Series "A" is considered to be "Scudetto" or "small shield". This is a small badge worn by the players of the winning team of the last Championship draw. This badge was first worn by the team on 02/07/1920. This friendly game was played by nationalists representing a small region seeking to join Italy and the team of the city of Fiume.
Until that day, the Savoy shield was embroidered on the players' shirts. The poet D'Annunzio suggested replacing this symbol with a more relevant one for that time. He replaced some characters. In particular, now on the shield we see the signs and colors of a united Italy. Oddly enough, but in our time this sign (Scudetto) is of great importance.
Why was the project of the poet D'Annunzio accepted? The fact is that he was a real, passionate football fan. He was not only sick, but also played for the Pescara club.
The Scudetto shield became the symbol of Serie A in 1924. The Federation has decided that this particular badge will be worn by the team that won the last Championship. That is, it is the reigning champion. The first to put on the shield were the players of the Genoa team. The event took place in the first round of the 1925/26 season.
Over time, stars began to appear over the Scudetto. Each means ten Italian Cups won. The leader in this indicator is Juventus. It was this club that won the first gold star in the history of Serie A.
