Starting to make my own jerseys and caps

Malleus Dei · 06-16-2010, 01:45 AM

I've always made or modified logos, but today I took the big plunge and got
Paint Shop Pro, the PSP templates for OOTP, a copy of Bassman's tutorial, and a bunch of fonts. Custom jerseys and ballcaps here I come!

Welcome to the club. Feel free to ask questions and post your uniforms. I'm glad a few people have used my tutorial. Micropterus58 aka Bassman58.

I am going to get into this too MD. I have been navigating toward fictional play lately and am going to try to create some original uniforms.

Now this ought to be interesting.

Mal, If you need any help, tips, etc. feel free to ask

silvam14 · 06-16-2010, 10:15 PM

Cant wait to see them Mal!

Scary. Beware of jerseys with explosions and guns and flaming skulls on them ahead.

cotton or polyester, cause you know cotton is a natural fiber?

MD, congrats and have fun!

I really want to try and get into the jersey/uniform creation thing. But first I have to get back to just doing team logos. It's been a long time since I created a team logo...

Ditto. I made everything for a 16-team league + 2 levels minors + some feeders before X came out and I had a blast. Of course, since I spent 2 months on the graphics and setup, I only played two seasons. But still....

The templates are a BIG lifesaver. Not enough thanks can be given to those that make them available. Also, finding good free fonts can be harder than it seems.

I'm waiting for the 'Playing with Ratings and Standard FaceGen Unis is for Sissies!' thread...

Thanks for the support! So far this isn't as hard as I thought it would be.

You know what I think of everytime I see the A-Team trailer? How cool it would be to see your avatar one day have Liam Neeson on it. Messed up, I know. I have issues. LOL

If you're using layers, it's pretty easy to do. Working from scratch, I could usually do a uni in just 30-40 minutes.

Yes, you are messed up and have issues. But I still like you.

Some years ago I tired to change my avatar back to the badger I used to use. My God, you would have thought I had peed on the flag from the PM's and emails I got demanding that I change it right back. One guy actually wrote to me that changing my avatar had made him cry.

So, no, I'm not changing it again. You're stuck with it.

I haven't graduated to scratch yet, but making them with layers is definitely not rocket science.

Eh.. Just wouldn't be the same IMO...

Malleus Dei · 06-19-2010, 02:05 AM

I actually look a bit like Peppard but nothing at all like the new guy.
