Heyo, all! The name's Sy! I'm from Colours-of-Football, and I enjoy making kits. My kits come in MS Paint format, and you might like them, you might not, but, hey, don't be too shy to drop a line on how you're liking (or disliking) my stuff; a lil' C&C ain't hurt nobody! So, to begin, I'll start with my most recent stuff; a little "project" I'm conducting on the USA's Men National Team!

(EDIT)Put in some more on the bar on the home kit:

Hmm, good seeing my fellow COFers Tom and Elete gettin' some feedback!

As for me, here're my other recent ones:

Kyoto Sanga FC home: i194.photobucket.com/albums/z235/duttybird/VamosSanga.png
Cuba home: i194.photobucket.com/albums/z235/duttybird/Cuba-5.png
Plymouth Argyle, with argyle: i194.photobucket.com/albums/z235/duttybird/Argyle.png
New York Cosmos, if they returned to the MLS:

Yeah all your designs are really good. Do they already look like that or is uploading them as png compressing them too much? The designs are great but the blockiness lets them down.

Are they all in the gallery too or was there a problem with png's or something?

Whenever I place the kits on the forum, they get compressed as well. I don't think I can place them in the gallery, neither, since .png doesn't seem to be the way to go here.....

I love the Cosmos kit.
I would absolutely use that for my team kit (for my U7 youth team)

Haha, thanks SouthJersey!

Sy, where can I get templates. I think I want to try my hand.

never mind found the templates

Ah, I was about to say, I'd recommend you try these ones; They each have a different collar, and they're straight-forward!

As for me, here's my current work; the Kashima Antlers of the J. League; I'll show the backside on a later date!

You need to post this one!

For the rest of you, I did the back, thats why it says my name, the rest was Sy...
I think the original Paint version looks better than the PS one, but its a hard thing to translate into Corel Draw rite?

I'm not peeved we lost that; the best design won.....

Hmm, current crap here:
Club Deportivo los Millionarios home kit with adidas.

Sanfrecce Hiroshima home kit. More to come, I promish!

Yo, y'all! Here's a home and away kit for the Urawa Red Diamonds of the J. League:

i194.photobucket.com/albums/z235/duttybird/Urawa-J.png

The away has a nameplate and numbers because that one was used in a contest the other day. C&C is most deffo welcome!

how do you get the nike ticks and the sponsers on it?

heres my attempt at the leaked liverpool away kit.
no way near as good as yours sy!.

Heres my attempt at the eaked Manchester United home kit. I have left the sponser as AIG because I don't know who the new one will be. I used a picture off historical football kits and edited it.

Head straight to colours-of-football.com, and use one of the kits there, if you want to know how to get logos and stuff. I'm flattered by what you've done so far, you just need some more experience at it. Adidas' famous three stripes are simple; all you have to do is mimic the outline on the kit.

Thanks for the tips sy!
Heres my attempt at a fantasy Valencia away kit.

where did you get the template for the poland kit? I can't find national kits on colours-of-footbal.com

Hmm, I would suggest that you would have to start from scratch, and cover over the logos, like a copy-paste sorta job. It would be better off that you would work like that, instead of adding on stuff to something that's already done.

The international kits can be found here, though they're the kits used in World Cup 2006:
www.soccerphile.com/soccerphile/wc2006/groups/index.html

Oh yeah, almost forgot, LOL! These are the home kits for the Euro 2008 tourney: www.soccerphile.com/soccerphile/euro2008...ups-teams/index.html

The template that was used for the Poland kit is here:

(Of course, different collar.)

Two more things:
1. When you're done, save your stuff as a .png file. Never forget that, they look better that way.

2. I think it's time for you to make your own thread, LOL! Try expermenting with curves and shapes, and try to look at other kits as a design inspiration, too.

I'm back at DF, to show my most recent finished kit, for a created team league at COF, my Newark Industrials home kit, including alternate white shorts!

And also, a WIP, my Racing Club de France set, though you can only see the home kit as a WIP so far, and it's with a twist; Ligue 1 stuff!



I'll try my best for that Sevilla contest!

The Newark one is pretty nice, like the detailing on the captain's armband and the overall design is pretty innovative too.

You already know I have a soft spot for RCdP and this kit is shaping up very positively. Allez les Pingouins!

Ah, and I'm back again. I'm still working on the RCF kits, but I'm currently caught in a conundrum....."Should I stay classy and old-school, or go modern? Or Hell, do both versions?"

After that, I'll be focusing straight on my MLS re-design project from a couple of months ago.

Give me a shout if you'd want me to make any changes to the upcoming project!

Well if we're having votes I'd go for modern, be nice to see modern versions of Tampa and Cosmos kits.

As for changes all looks pretty much how I'd do it. The only thing that shouts to me as being a little weird is Dallas as manufactured by Nike, I know the Burn had it, but just strikes me as being not right. I must just be too used to FC Dallas being Adidas by now though.

Although the rest look fine, I'm just a bit weird like that.
