ileSanSiro, how come Milan’s team emblem is a devil’s head? The oval shield shape is the traditional method of European clubs. The left side of the shield is the red and black stripe of Milan’s uniform, symbolizing that the club will always be strong. The team emblem The top is the three English letters "ACM", which is the English abbreviation of AC Milan. These are correct. The number 1899 below represents the founding time of Milan on December 16, 1899. The red cross pattern on the white background on the right side of the shield is the emblem of the Milan Autonomous Region. This must be traced back to the 11th century AD. There was a bloody war between the nobles and the common people in the city of Milan. In this war, the nobles held the red cross coat of arms, while the common people held the white shield. By 1045 AD After the war ended and Milan was at peace, the two emblems merged into one and became the symbol of the Milan Autonomous Region. The cross on the coat of arms of Milan now commemorates the history of the Lombard army's First Crusade in 1095. The first of this army to reach the Holy Land were Ottone Visconti, the masters of Invorio and Oleggio Castello, and the ancestors of the Visconti family that would become the territory of Milan 300 years later. Five years later, when the Lombard army returned to Milan, the city chose the cross as the theme of the city's emblem to commemorate the bravery of its knights in this holy war. Later, the red cross on a white background became the team emblem of AC Milan. The star on the top means that a star is added to the team emblem for every ten Serie A championships won. AC Milan won the championship in 17 years and there will be one star.
