In Italian, scudetto means “little shield”. This term comes from the word “scudo” which means shield or symbol. The shield-shaped emblem in green, white and red is only worn by the club that won the Italian Serie A in the previous season.
In the season after they become champions, the teams are welcome to wear the badge on their uniform. For example, Juventus, who are the champions of the Italian League in the 2019-2020 Serie A season, have the right to put the Scudetto symbol on their uniforms for the following season, namely the 2020-2021 season.
However, because Juventus is the winner of 9 Italian League titles for the last 9 consecutive seasons, it is called scudetti or the plural form of scudetto. Meanwhile, for Inter Milan, which has just won the Italian League competition for the 2020-2021 season, it is called winning the scudetto.

This symbol was used was in 1924 when Genoa won its 9th championship title and decided to add a little shield to their shirt as to reward and celebrate themselves as champions.
