Title: **Team Uniforms, Jerseys and Caps Discussion**
Post by: mikezone13 on July 31, 2013, 09:05:46 pm
Hey fellow GMs, I'm bit of an amateur graphics tinkerer, and having noticed that many here aren't making use of the uniforms in game (just using the generic ones) I thought I'd offer up my services to make some uniforms.

Just post below with the sort of ideas you would like and how you would like the colours (and what colours). e.g. pinstripes, solid colour uniform etc.

I've got some good templates from the guys at the OOTP forums that can make some pretty decent jerseys and caps.

I will offer my services as well to lighten the load. I can get you logos like Mike's New Jersey A's one too if you want. Post away.

I would greatly appreciate help from either of you putting together a pinstripe uniform!

Here you go... I've gone for a subtle grey and blue pinstripe, thoughts?

If you don't mind... could you drop the Bear logo and the multi toned shoulders on the jersey? I like the Colorado how it is and the tan double wide stripes on the white jersey. Also for the hat... maybe drop the C for the Bear logo?

So effectively a plain white jersey but with the tan piping?

Easy done.

You will find the traditional look in most of what I do too. I like that about baseball. Nothing too flashy for the American pastime.

OK, I've got a more modern style with this one, similar vein to the first go at Colorado - it is 2013 after all ;)

The 'stripes' aren't pinstripes, they're just a texture as you're see in the team picture.

If you need any changes let me know.

Just let me know colours and a rough style you're looking for and I can whip something out pretty quickly.

No rush but you do excellent work so can't wait to see what you come up with

Here's some ideas I like for logos. You could use the color schemes in these two rather than the forrest green
A combo of the 1st two (Like Danger across the center of the 1st) would be fantastic.

Here's 4 different options - to be honest I'm not really overly pleased with any of them, but you might be ;)

If you like any of these, or want some tweaks to one of them let me know and I'll either tweak or post the files here for Matt to put in the game.

Honestly I like sets 3 and 4 as a home and away set.

Do you think 4 would look far less gaudy if it were maroon jerseys instead of Gold? I don't know If that hard to change, but If you can get that fourth one with Maroon jersey and gold writing with maybe a white hat? No rush, and I like this concept for sure?. Gold is a hard color to work with.

Thanks man! I was gonna ask how the maroon jersey would've come out with striping, but dark colors and pin stripes don't go well.

Sure, should I then remove the logo from the arm so that it's not in two places?

I do like something on the arm though, can I put the letters there?

I've sent these to Matt for inclusion next season, my view is if you're happy Troy, then I'm happy - the sleeve logo stays :)

OK guys - Matt asked me to whip up some quick uniforms for the existing teams that didn't have custom uniforms. I've based these off what was already in game with just a bit of "styling".

If you don't have any comments/requested changes Matt will include these in game for the start of the regular season. Also, you don't have to use these, if you prefer the in-game generated uniforms that's fine too, just post here or let Matt know.

California and Illinois - I didn't make uniforms for these teams for this year as they are either relocating or being rebranded for 2017

The one in the picture I posted is correct (it's the one on the reports) but the one in the team photos above is wrong, it's the old one.  They are similar but different if you look close enough.
