Inter are the only team in Italy to have competed in the top tier throughout the club's history. The club wears blue and black stripes, which gives the origin of their Nerazzurri nickname. Inter enjoy one of the biggest fan bases in Italy. Inter has several principal rivalries, most obviously arch-rivals AC Milan. The rivalry is especially heated due to the fact that Inter broke off from AC Milan. Inter was seen as the club of the bourgeoisie (nicknamed bauscia, a Milanese term meaning "braggart"), whereas AC Milan was the working-class' team Current squad
