You misspelled Traverse City Beach Bums

Oops. Missed and 'e'. Looks like you knew what I was going for.

Thank goodness, i was tired of yank-me pinstripes.

(Yank-me is a nickname for the yankees used by me and my friends, we don't like the yankees.)

I like the pirates one especially.

EDIT: You best be making a Toledo Mud Hens Jersey

Just made the Mud Hens Jersey and cap this morning. Hope you like it.

Completely off the subject, I noticed your Utah high-school work! AWESOME. I went to Park City, and I think it is awesome to see Judge, West, East, Copper Hills, etc...Awesome!

Athletics17 · 08-02-2009, 09:23 PM

Sweet! I went to West High. I am working on getting a lot more of those teams in as I expand my high school feeder leagues. Thanks.

Nice work. The only thing I'd suggest is some shading to simulate wrinkles and shadows. Search in the old OOTP 9 graphics forum for several different options or let me know and I can post some here.

Athletics17 · 08-02-2009, 09:33 PM

Thanks, for the suggestion. i found some shadowing with some of the jersey templates by deft and no pepper. Some of the newer one that I am doing have the shadows. If you have a chance I would love to see some of yours. You do some great work.

Thanks. I think you hit the nail on the head when you said "I am trying to get better with every one I do." The more you do, the better the results. I thought my first jerseys were pretty good but I look at them now...and see lots of room for improvement.

One other suggestion - don't make jerseys 100% black - make them very dark gray. They look better that way because a photo of black cloth does not look completely black. I find its hard to get the black ones to look good though.

Here are some of mine but I need to post some of my newer uniforms especially my caps. For my KBL jerseys, I was aiming for a 50s look so I don't have many jerseys that are colored. My next league will have more variety I think.

I've been making some jerseys for toddgregory so you can look in that post as well. Some of them still need some tweaking. Sometimes, at least for me, they look OK when you make them but afterwords just don't seem quite right.

muted79 · 08-03-2009, 10:49 PM

agreed: re black jerseys, also textures and shading do not show up when jerseys are black whereas they will show with dark greys.

Athletics17 · 08-04-2009, 04:17 PM

Sweet! I appreciate the tips. I am getting ready to do a bunch of them over already. I can see a big difference from the first ones i have done to the most recent. Thanks.
