Macron
I've decided I'll post a collection of kits in whatever new template I make just like I used to do in the early days of the blog. To start here is the Macron template I used to make the Aston Villa home shirt on a few other teams.

Barcelona
The stripes on the home shirt have 'Més que un club' running down them.

Some More Kappa...
Just noticed I had never posted these up so here you go, nothing special just a lot of different colour combinations from my 'Kappa' design for teams who played in Kappa at the time of making them.
Don't worry I do have more new designs to show off soon but I'll use these as a gap filler for now.

Racing Santander, Arminia Bielefeld
Right so I got bored with just making the shirts, well not bored but their wasn't really anything to them was their? So I have slightly adjusted the and picked things from my older shirt templates, the socks are a completely new addition though as I thought all my previous ones looked quite pish.
May I just say I am really quite pleased with this design, I had been thinking about it for quite a while and then when I made it I thought it came out looking really good. To show it off properly I needed to pick a team which used three colours on their home strip, so Santander was quite ideal using white-green-black and also Bielefeld using pretty much the same but blue instead of green.
The main concept was the cross over at the back of the collar, umbro have already used a similar notion on it's kits and leisure wear a few years ago with it's 'X-static' but they never really incorporated an actual X shape into their shirts so in my mind it is still original.
As you know lines wrapping themselves around shirts in an interesting way is pretty much what I am into when designing and this is no different, I have also mixed this in with a healthy dose of spikes (sounds like bondage :S) something I also like to include quite a bit of in my designs. I think what actually makes this on of my best designs is that it is adaptable to any sort of shirt whether it contains stripes, hoops, different colour shoulders or whatever.
Enough of my BS though onto the strips themselves. Santander seem to be the perpetual bottom half of the table team in La Liga with only a few top half finishes in their 41 seasons of top flight football. The team have never really harboured any world class players either, which may be a reason behind this but they have had Yossi Benayoun, which is good enough for me :D
That wasn't really about the kit was it? Well now it is. I have used all of Santander's three main colours on this home kit, three colours which fit very well together in my opinion and make me think that they are part of a long footballing history, I really can't explain what I mean properly, just I think that the colours would be well suited to a black and white photo in a newspaper of a player with exuberant hair stood with hands on hips looking serious. The 'castle' on the shirt is the Torro del Oro which features on both Cantabrian and Santander's coat of arms which (apparantly) symbolizes regional power. The collar itself is a plain wrap over collar but with two different colours that wrap around into a mesh design on the actual shirt. The shorts also incorporate this X design but the socks are a bit more traditional looking, I did toy with making the socks into the same style but it just looked too much when I tried it.
The away does away with the different coloured shoulders that featured on the home kit and replaces with a black number but has a trim of green and white which again uses the X design to a good effect I think. The font is a pretty plain one, I forget the name of it, but I jazzed it up by slicing through it, I maybe could have personalised it a bit more but I was quite happy with this look.
Arminia Bielefeld are a recently relegated team from the North Rhine-Westphalia region of Germany. Who, like Santander, have never really won anything except from 2nd division titles, so they are possibly the perfect accompaniment for them. I have been quite a fan of Bielefeld's bold usage of both white and black on top of royal blue on the shirt, and especially the usage of a chest band. I tried to reinvent this with my design, using the bridge featured in their 'Stadtwappen' city coat of arms. I am still undecided as to whether this works or not so your comments will help here. I have again opted for differing colour shoulders, not that my template isn't versatile or anything :P
On the away kit I went with an orange colour that they have worn before with black as the trim colour but I have tried it with white and the chest band again, I was to lazy to change it really.
And a visitor from the Maldives!!! Thank you very much indeed.

Kappa
Hello my fine blog viewing public, hope you're all well. I'm just settling down having a well earned frosty beer, and thought now be a good time to make another update.
So now I introduce you to my Kappa collection. I thought this time I should make a more detailed looking template rather than my first two Kappa kits I made, something more technical looking but like with my Nike and Adidas templates I wanted to make something which fit Kappa as a company.
As I am sure you know, Kappa like to recycle previous templates and modify them slightly to give a whole new effect, no? Well you should do to be reading something like this. Anyway, that's exactly what I have tried to do. The template in question again is from around the 2003/2005 period, a golden time for kits in my opinion, although I can only remember it being used with two teams, Auxerre and Real Betis, maybe it was used on Italy too but I'm unsure of that.
As with all Kappa kits I have tried to make the seems look like they're that inside out sort, you know what I mean right. I have also given the the kits an off center look, something which I am quite fond of looks wise, well for the most part I have. As you can see Botafogo is symetrical and so is Valencia apart from the shorts. When designing South American team kits I tend to make them a bit different from the original template as that also seems to be the norm when it comes to that.
Anyway, I have a whole stockpile of Kappa teams that I made so if you would like to see any, just post a request in the comments section and I'll post it right up for you.

Old 3D Kits
Hello all, I thought I would spice things up a little and chuck in something you've probably not seen before and something I haven't seen in quite some time too, it's my 3D FIFA shirts I told you about before!
All these kits were made in Photoshop to start with then modelled in OEdit which basically uses EA's 3D model for their games and displays them without having to enter into the game itself.
So I'll keep this short and just show you what I was doing nearly 4 years ago! I can't believe it has been that long at all.

Valencia CF
Here is one I am quite proud of, I can't saw it's entirely original but I have adapted it to my needs. I was largely inspired by the look of music posters for the way I have displayed this trying to use a human model to display the kit.
The kit itself is a rather simple one with not many design features, just like my previous Dortmund kit. This contains a plain V-neck collar with a bit of orange piping features, which also can be found on both the shorts and socks as orange has been found on many previous modern Valencia kits. One of which is one of my favourite shirts of all time, that being the one to the left.
As you can see I have given the shirt black sleeves also like my favourite Valencia shirt. I pretty much just took this and slapped a couple of different logos on it. I did try it with a Toyota logo too, to give it a 'retro' look, but then opted for a more modern looking Valencia Experience logo only to find out they are now going to be using Unibet as their main sponsor for the new season.
From the criticism I have received for this design, which was all mainly positive, was just that the socks let it down. Again I was attempting to bring back the essence of that 03/05 kit or whenever it is from again, which had the word 'Valencia' coming from the top of the sock and down the calf, so I just tried reversing it and hoping it would work.
