Jersey Design is where your club stops being a name and starts looking like a football club. Your kit is what players wear in rendered matches, so it is the most visible thing you own after your badge.

The kit locks during tournaments

This is the rule that surprises people: jersey design is locked while your club is active in a tournament. You cannot change colours, patterns or textures mid-competition. Clubs must look the same at the end of a tournament as they did at the start, so design your kit before you enter one.

Options

What you can change

The design controls

  • ColoursOptional
    Set as hex codes. Invalid values are rejected, so use the picker or a proper #rrggbb code.
  • PatternOptional
    Chosen from the available jersey patterns. Anything not on that list is refused.
  • Custom textureOptional
    Upload your own artwork if the built-in patterns are not enough.

Until you save your own kit colours, the design falls back to your club's primary and secondary colours. That means setting your club colours properly on the Overview tab already gives you a coherent kit before you touch this tab at all.

Advice

Designing something that works

Things worth getting right

  • Make your home and away kits genuinely different. Two similar kits look wrong when you face a club in comparable colours.
  • Keep contrast high between shirt and shorts — kits are seen small and in motion.
  • Match the kit to your club colours and badge. A club whose badge, banner and kit agree looks established.
  • Finish the kit before entering a tournament, because you will not be able to touch it once you have.
FAQ

Common questions

The editor will not let me save anything.+
Your club is almost certainly active in a tournament, which locks the jersey entirely. It unlocks when the competition concludes.
My colour was rejected.+
Colours must be valid hex codes such as #1a2b3c. Anything the platform cannot read as a colour is refused rather than silently ignored.
My kit shows colours I never chose.+
Before you save a kit, it falls back to your club's primary and secondary colours from the Overview tab.
Does the kit affect performance?+
No. It is entirely visual — but it is the visual most people will actually see.
