I just got the demo and was finally able to see what these looked like in game and I wasn't pleased with most of the jerseys... the text was way too small. So I revamped most of them. Here are the new ones. Use whichever you like, obviously.

Just a note: These were stretched to make them bigger. No matter how hard I tried most of them were left with "stretching residue." I looked at them in game and, because they shrink to fit, I couldn't even notice it. But these are for you and yours, so, please, try them in game and see what you think. Unfortunately you were my "test" league. I can redo any or all of them if you'd like. I'm still learning.

Wow! good stuff!

Cephas, I have found that the bolder the better when it comes to text on jerseys. It can also help to elongate the text from top to bottom (not too much though) to make the text look bigger on the shirt!

Really good stuff though. I have used quite a few of these on my own league!

Great looking text. I'm sure these will provide excellent results.

Starting to experiment myself a little last night, I noticed that with some fonts it actually seems to improve the depth of the jersey name if the first and last letters are one size smaller than the body, giving the appearance that it actually moves closer to the body near the arms. It doesn't seem to work for all of them, some it makes worse, but something to think about. I'm a slow plodder with these kinds of things, but thought I'd add what I found nonetheless. Leave it to you gurus to decide if helps in any given case.

Hmm, Haven't tried that but I will today. I do like the effect that havingthe first and last letters a few points bigger than the middle like this one.

But like you said eg, it works great with some fonts and not so good with most. One of these days I'm going to go through 1001freefonts.com and grab every bolded font I can. It will help with the Variety!

Good effort here ceph! What are the fonts you are using for Carolina, Chicago, and Indiana?

PerfectMisnomer · 04-02-2007, 03:52 PM

I'll fool around with these over the next day or two and let you know the results, thanks.

Yeah, I'm just now figuring this out. I'll be adding a two more teams soon and that's what I did, elongate. Unfortunately I didn't realize how small some text looks until I actually plugged them into the game. I was so proud of my work and then SMACK! humility strikes again.

Phil. 4:13 is one of my favorite verses. It has strengthened me many, many times.
