Mornin' lads. This thread is meant to be a showcase of the kits I've done in the past and I'll update it as I go on making new kits. Please don't use this thread as a request thread, there is a specific thread for that in the forum, where your request will be addressed by any of our beloved community kitmakers. Still, if you want something made specifically by me, you can always DM me and make requests over there. As a sidenote, I'll only be posting the kits made with the "Yellow Images" (paid) templates, these are very realistic looking, swaggy kits. Note: Unless specified, the kits are fantasy made, not a re-creation.

The Hummel PDX Football Club jerseys have been officially approved by the team, here's a pic of the shirt in a Hummel rack at a league event. They're looking for a sponsor and get the shirt out.

Lads, I just spent a whopping 70 USD to buy a new much detailed 1.2 GB (9k resolution) template with embossed logos and shit. So I'm reaaaaaally up for making new kits, please if anyone has a request, please send me a DM or post it on the requests thread. I'm currently making a TeBe Berlin kit for my save, I'll post it here once I finish it.

HO-LY-SHIT they look pretty!!!! I'm still not gonna say the 70 bucks price was worth it, specially as it took almost 2-3 hours to make this kitset, hijacking almost all of my computer's resources which means that I'll probably need to buy a new one and update my photoshop license as well. But boy, the amount of detail they have is batshit crazy, be prepared for a Football Manager Now version of "Zoom and Enhance" (if anyone gets the reference I'll buy them a pint). Ok, they look pretty, but I could've done something similar with the previous 15 USD templates, at least from this far. I applied a nice texture to both kits, (something with which I've been experimenting before getting the new template), but apart from that, they look kinda slick, different from the ones before. More on that below. The logos are embossed into the main layer of the kit, within a separate smart object to configure it. They have several effects layers to make them as if they were pressed onto the kit and texturised, rather than just "stamped". Each of those pictures is way reduced in size, click here, here and here to go to a full res pic. Detail for the logos on the away kit, as the Mini logo looks way better in purple than in white as you can't really see much of the texture on the white colouring, maybe a darker shade of white will help, but that's for the next kit. Full-res here and here. As I said this template is flerken amazing (no pint for that reference, too easy), so please if anyone wants something made, dm me. Cheers!

Absolutely love the Flamengo home and AS Roma away kits! Out of curiosity, how much time does it cost you to make these?

If you have a request lemme know and we'll talk 'bout it. Normally, they take anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour per kit aprox, if the away kit is just a colour reversed kit obviously less. It depends on whether I need to learn how to do something on photoshop and also I'm a bit details-obsessed so when I don't like how something turns out to be I can spend a lot of time in that very detail.

Cheers! I tend to lose interest in saves way too quickly for it to be worth your while though, haha! Currently I'm only a bit over a season into my Leeds United save, but I'm already contemplating starting with Corinthians since I've never had a save in Brazil and it's my girlfriend's favourite team.

I've only just found this thread and as others have said before, the kits are incredible.
As a Forest fan, the re-creations in the first post are brilliant.

Once I'm done with my Volendam save, whenever that is, I think Sicula Leonzio are my next destination. And the away kit is rather nice.
On a different aspect of the kits, what do you do to ensure the game assigns them to the correct team?

Hey mate, hadn't seen this. SORRY!! I'm a bit swamped with work and I haven't been able to do much kits as I use most of my free time playing FM haha. I'll sneak in your request though as I made some NEC kits tonight and turned out fucking awesome which fueled me with enthusiasm to do more. I'll send you a PM when I'm ready to work on the kits for the details. Regarding your second question, this is done via config files. If you want to, I can send the config file alongside the kits I'll make for you when I do in order for them to show in the game. Now, for the unveiling the new Champions League kits for NEC Nijmegen (I didn't add the UCL logo though, shit...)

No worries, I'm getting quite into my Volendam save so the Sicula Leonzio one won't be starting imminently. It's very kind of you to agree to do this for me!
Your NEC kits are very nice, if I were a NEC fan in your FM universe I'd be about €100 poorer after buying both.

chaodck your kits are very good and I love you But I also hate you for it. Love you too bud. Sports templates released a new texture that supposedly allows you to add the embossed and/or embroidered effect to any logo you have, which will mean two things for my kits, first it'll allow me to finally have textured logos in the sleeves patches (now textured logos only appear in the front of the shirt), but also to put textured logos in other templates like the yellow images ones which will allow me to use more shapes than this one I always use. It might be time to take out the credit card again

Time to get spending I do like my yellow images one that I use currently, and I can't quite bring myself to spend on the sportstemplates ones, but I'd like some new shapes soon.

Thanks Rob! I've started investigating new techniques to try and apply to the kits. I've learnt a lot as of lately and hopefully the new kits to come show the leap in quality haha.

So, as I said in my previous post, I've learned a few new techniques to work on Photoshop, mainly converting things to "smart objects" and editing them from within the interface. This, plus buying a new logos template (black friday ftw), allowed me to edit the templates I've been buying to a new level, editing the shapes adding new lines and of course making sponsors look even more realistic, with a "heat press" effect rather than being printed onto the shirt. I've only made two sets of kits, and they take far longer to make than before (each logo needs to be done anew, and editing the shapes is quite time consuming as well), obviously a La U kit and a kit for my upcoming Argentinos Juniors save. Basic La U, home and away kits. I made a bit of a pattern design on the background, combining the U from the logo and the owl from the emblem. I also made a ton of research to find the correct labels that go on the bottom of true authentic match-worn (not replicas) Adidas kits. Argentinos Juniors kits, both an homage to Diego Maradona. In the first, classic Argentinos colours, with a background optical illusion pattern with a stencil of Maradona and diagonal lines. The away kit is black, due to the mourning of the idol, with golden accents (Maradona was called "El Pibe de Oro" roughly translated to "Golden Kid") and instead of the sponsor on the left sleeve, another big drawing of Maradona.

A bit of a spoiler, but I'm starting a new save and thus decided to spend a whole quaranteened Saturday evening (while watching Wrestlemania), doing a new set of kits for it. Definetely I'm not taking requests as my computer is running this photoshop way too slow. So yeah, new save, in Germany on an obscure team that once gifted the world Gerd Müller.

Sweet Jesus, those are beautiful Chaodck. Might be worth looking at some of the free alternatives to photoshop? But I'm guessing those might not be an option if they don't open the .psd files that the shirt templates need? Also, as an aside, I was so glad to have fans back for Mania, even if the show itself wasn't amazing.
