Design your own eL kit competition...

Using the very handy website above. Discovered this a few days ago, some great things you can do with it. Was thinking of running a competition for the best eL kit design, we got people to vote for their favourite alternative design... maybe run a competition for their own team and/or a team of their own choice/home or away.... takes a while to download and get used to the layer system in Photoshop, but let me know what ye think...

[jebus]

good idea, wouldn't be a bad one for a club looking to generate interest either, they could run a competition to design their clubs away kit

[Pauro 76]

Crystal Palace did that recently, and the retro blue and red sash on a white shirt won it.... think Middlesboro did too, but they share a kit sponsor Errea, so that may be why...

[Dunny]

Great idea, deffo up for it. Downloading templates as we speak.

[Pauro 76]

Lovely stuff! I may even do a Dundalk sample one this evening to give an idea....

Dundalk new kit and Sligo new kit as shown!

[Dunny]

Thats brilliant.

Was actually looking at the same template earlier, takes a bit of getting used to.

All those layers mess with the head after a while! Im trying to find a way of swapping collars with different shirts too. Didnt bother with Puma templates, they're all sh!te!

Bohs away

[Pauro 76]

Good effort! I'll work on a few tonight. it's harder to do company logos for eL teams though. Most of them are just typefaces that PC users might not have, and/or low res images....

Mock up here of a plausible Hummel kit for us - Beamish are being bought by Heineken and The Evening Echo are less like sponsors than enemies :D

Very impressive! Working on a few LTFC away kits..

[GavinZac]

Matching away and third kits for the above, might pop these into football manager about 2010 :)

Also, just to note that mine were done with Gnu Image Manipulation Program (wonderfully, GIMP) rather than some yucky trial version of photoshop - GIMP is a free full featured alternative to photoshop available from www.gimp.org

[Longfordian]

Bring out the GIMP indeed.

A few more City makey-uppys, this time produced by slave labour out sourcers for Nike. Not all of them very nice - but I think the "one shoulder" white one is nice, reminiscent of our early 90s adidas kits.

Sorry for flooding, but there's a 3-images-per-post rule which seems a little silly in today's broadband world.

all look good, although personally I'd rather the shirts without the "rebel army" faded in behind the kit-makers name.

Downloading gimpiness as we speak.

Nice one mate! Excellent CCFC kits by the way.

Just to note that GIMP handles layers slightly differently (it doesn't use folders) so most of the time when you open a template set, every layer is visible. This is an annoyance but in the grand scheme of things pretty insignificant given that you're saving yourself €800 off photoshop. In GIMP for these templates the tools you'll be looking to use most are "Colorize" and "Hue & Saturation". These do what they say on the tin! Colorize sweeps the entire layer (i.e. template bit) with a colour and H&S allows you to fiddle with the colours a little more accurately and, importantly, lets you "colourize" very dark/black colours to anything else.

I've been a bit bored and have done another 6 or 7 jersies so i'll post them in one bunch instead of flood posting:

I like the longford ones, the half-boca, half-river plate one the best :D

Some nice work there!

The Bray one still isn't working for me Derek. Their 3rd jersey works but the home and away still have their old sponsors on them. The Finn Harps away kit is green and not yellow as well.

Have to get messing about with this kit thingy too.
