I played around a little with noise and I did notice a difference. As for the Indians uniform, I didn't really love it, but I still wanted to keep it just so I could see if I am getting better down the road or not. I will admit also that the black on that uniform looks pretty fake.

I am actually re-creating 30 high school teams for each of my owner's Alma Maters in my new OOTP9 league and these first two just happened to be similar in color.

Again, thanks a lot for the pointers and I will post some more soon. I did re-design the Indians uniform and made one new one as well. I am pasting them all together below.

Saranac Chiefs


Southern Choctaw Indians


Confederation Cardinals
The shading on your Cardinals uniform is more restrained - and looks better than the other two. Good job.

Go to the following link and check out my post# 20 at the bottom of page 1. The first link listed there is to SimCentral where you can download most of my uniform templates and you can also download a sample Paint.net file of a uniform design to see how all the layers are used.

The second link will steer you to a large number of links where I deal with uniform design. Hopefully this will prove useful to you.

Good luck in your future efforts. If you have any additional questions (or designs) please post them.
