User Submissions to the Database
For a number of reasons I haven't made it possible in the past to add your own jerseys to the database, but as it is impossible for me to keep up with requests and in general make all the jerseys on planet earth you can now get your own creations added to the database.The first batch that I received, created by Remy, were 75 jerseys for the Universite Laval (Quebec) football team. All submissions can be found in their own section via the button you see above. They are still shown via searches and will work with all of the widgets available here. The only difference being that ID numbers begin with the letter U.
If you are interested in having your creations added you can do a couple of different things. If you've already made some using either a template similar to those used for the site or your own you can simply send them to me an e-mail using a .zip file. Or if you are interested in making them using the same templates used here you can contact me and I can give you more information. There is an old template and PDF tutorial (that needs to be updated) via the Tutorials link found on the first page of the site, if you are just interested in learning the basic techniques.
Basic Information
The files all have to be 158 px wide BY 131 px high. They must be saved as .png's with transparency using "Save For Web" or similar to keep the sizes down.
I can't post anything that involves coprighted materials, so no logos that are distinguishable and no obvious ads or sponsors.
I'd highly reccommend using Adobe Illustrator for these, you will achieve much better results with crisper lines etc., Photoshop and other non-vector image programs will work, however I don't have any templates available for them.
If you aren't sure about the files you are sending send an example first.
I can't post everything. The key to the database is that it represents reality (albeit in a abstract way). The jerseys need to be accurate and I reccommend using real images to work from. Number and letter fonts should also be as close to those actually used as possible. Try and make your images the best you can.
Besides college teams I am only posting proffessional leagues. No high school or similar teams.
All submissions need to be verified and checked before I can post them, so it can take some time before they appear.
Images remain your own and you can freely offer them on your own site and keep your own list etc. Keep local backup copies and any original templates that you use.
Basically, if you have any questions, just contact me and I'll help as best I can.
