AC Milan use the English spelling because they were formed by an English man. Inter used the Italian spelling because they were primarily formed by an Italian.
They get peeved because it's part of their heritage, which I get. Only in English-speaking countries do they use Milan; in Italy, it's Miano although rarely used.
Similar to why they dislike their stadium being called the San Siro as it's the Giuseppe Meazza. History and heritage mean a lot to most fans.
Anyway, I've always liked Inter due to the blue.
I’ve always found it intriguing how much influence the English had on European football, the majority of teams had English managers as their first, and we’ll Milan, Barca incorporate the St. George’s cross on their badges.
Genoa, are even named to incorporate an additional “C” as they’re Cricket & Football Club.
You’re spot on about Milan. In England we have a weird habit of including the city after, namely Sporting CP (Lisbon), Internazionale (Inter Milan), AZ (Alkmaar)… it’s quite common.
