Why does AC Milan still wear the Badge of Honor? A source of pride, a good omen or an aesthetic element?

The Badge of Honor (BoH) was introduced at the beginning of the 2000-01 Champions League to celebrate clubs that have an original copy of the Big Ears Cup on their wall - a recognition that only goes to those who win at least five Champions League or wins three in a row. Only six teams fall into this category: Real Madrid (13 CL, 5 consecutive), Bayern Munich (6 CL, 3 consecutive), Liverpool (6 CL), Ajax (4 CL but 3 consecutive), Barcelona (5 CL) and of course AC Milan (7 CL). The Rossoneri successes of the years 1969, 1989, 1990, 1994, 2003 and 2007 guarantee the BoF to Milan, which however uses it everywhere. Unlike their highly decorated colleagues, the Milanese club plays all the games without distinction with the patch on the left sleeve: Serie A, Europa League and Coppa Italia.

Interpretations of Milan's choice are different: there are those who argue that the patch motivates players to give their best; there are those who believe that aesthetically the badge gives the shirt a greater value; there are those who think it is only a good omen, dreaming of magical nights in Europe again. The truth is that there is no real explanation for a mysterious choice by a company that is proud and proud of its achievements.
