Many people think that the red cross in Milan logo is St. George's cross, but it is wrong. The red cross is St. Ambrose's cross. He is a popular patron saint of the city of Milan. The red cross on Inter away shirt is St. Ambrose's cross as AC Milan. For many years, Milan's badge was simply the Flag of Milan, which was originally the flag of Saint Ambrose.
Many Patronages of Saint George exist around the world, including Genoa, England. Some people insist that the cross is St. Georger's cross because the club was founded by British expatriates. It's wrong.
"Historians believe that the St George's Cross was adopted from the flag of Genoa, where origins date back to 1096. The Genoese flag was adopted from the personal flag of St. Ambrose, the Fourth Century Bishop of Milan who was a key figure in the development of Christianity in the West. St. Ambrose's cross had become a symbol of Milan, then the wider areas of Northern Italy."
