Scudetto Patch

The scudetto (Italian for: "little shield") is a decoration worn by Italian sports clubs that won the annual championship of their respective sport in the previous season. The scudetto was created in the 1920s to honour the winner of the national association football league (in 1929 rebranded as Serie A) and the first team to wear it was Genoa C.F.C. in 1924. Later, it was adopted by the teams of other sports.

The word scudetto is also used the indicate the Serie A trophy; "winning the scudetto" is a synonym of "winning Serie A."
