Soccer Club Kits, Vol. 1

Jeremy Nelson5 said:Solid kits, but that first one makes me think more of Jamaica than South Africa... at least that was my first thought before I realized whose kit it actually was. Anyway, they look good—I’m leaning towards the Northern Irish ones since I've always been a fan of those thin stripes.

🤣🤣 good thing I didn't add the "whites" yet

Here’s a little more of my daydreaming going on:

What kind of software are you guys using for this??

I'm just messing around in Adobe Photoshop CS5.

Another Irish visiting crew

Why is Cibalia wearing yellow? 🤷

The jersey looks killer, honestly, but those numbers... they’re just a total disaster.

mellowowl38, come on—design a few jerseys for Hajduk Split in that little workshop of yours, don't be a jerk. 😁

Sean Lee6 said:Why is Cibalia wearing yellow? 🤷

Probably because they're the visiting team. Honestly, there's this chronic lack of imagination when it comes to kits here in America—it’s just a sea of blue jerseys. Look, I get it, you shouldn't change the home kits every five minutes, though some really could (like that San Francisco design I posted earlier; why wouldn't they have orange kits when that's the color of the fans, the city, and the local brand? Plus, we have way too much blue going on). But the away kits? That's where it gets even stupider. Most clubs that have blue home kits just switch to white for away games, and those with white homes just go with blue or red. Where's the guts? Why wouldn't Inter Milan try out a green away kit, especially since they'd only be wearing it against an Istria-equivalent team anyway? The only clubs showing any actual bravery in this department are Dinamo Chicago and Varteks, which puts them closer to following global trends.
If you actually look at it, most American clubs just flip their home and away colors—Slaven Belupo, New York City, Chicago, Istria, San Diego, Miami... I put together a set of home and away kits for San Francisco, Seattle, Chicago, and San Diego; maybe the rest of the league should take notes.

I didn't even realize it was a number! 🙏

It’s not really about the number... anyway. sponsor 🙂

And what would you even want for Hajduk? The shirt has to be pure white because if there’s even one speck of color on it, it’s trash. Blue shorts, blue socks... damn. I couldn't even get a simple stripe right like they have on the Seattle kit without everyone crucifying me over who designed it. 😁

Here's a quick mockup, just for you:



Since this was a rush job, just ignore the fact that the jersey is way brighter than the shorts and socks—just imagine they all match perfectly 🤣

Alright, let me rephrase that: The jersey looks killer, but everything except the sponsor... it basically just looks like a damn number.

😁

hahaha 🤣 Stop talking about Hajduk Split 🤣

We've got Umbro anyway ☕

😁

Look, you have to remember that the sponsor on the jersey only shows up during the presentations. Once the actual official games start, it’s gone... just like how it was with AT&T on the green jersey back in the day.

This jersey from Ireland is truly wonderful, featuring 😍😍

Like I told you, 🤣

The real issue is that you can't nail those gorgeous kits—like that one from Ireland—without it looking off. Right now, the away kit I put together is kind of a mess 😁, but just imagine if we did a home kit that was totally tailored by Umbro... something like the England national team look but with a red and blue collar instead of white. It would be an absolute banger.

honestly, it looks way too aggressive for me.

Anyway, since we're talking about the English, I was watching them play against the Buggers the other night and the color of their shorts is 🙏 some kind of blue, like a deep navy 🤷. Our blue just irritates me.

I'm going to find that jersey. 😁
