Favorite Concepts Using the New Uniform Template?
 

Obviously, there are some wonderful concepts in the style of the OOTP 22 and previous jersey format, but I'm looking for some team kits to start a league in OOTP25/26 that properly shows off all the 3D graphics advancements that have been made over the past few years.

I feel like the output of jerseys on this forum has slowed since the new format was introduced. Do you think there is a reason for that?

What are you favorite examples of the new uniform style?

Not sure the slowdown on this forum is related a lot to the new uniforms templates. I think interest in OOTP is not as much as it used to be. We have lost a lot of our community in the last few years. We have lost a lot of graphics designers that used to be very active on this forum.

The advent of the wonderful new software programs has allowed a lot of people to do their own jerseys and uniforms. They don't post requests like they used to. In the active good old days Golden Days, we had about about 20 very active logo and jersey creators. It is very likely they got burned out and gradually left the forum.

I personally would like to get the new uniform templates for my Islandian Pro Alliance, but it would involve creating new unis for 64 teams. I don't think I would be able to get the few current graphic designers to take on such a massive project and I don't blame them. That would be way too much work.

The solution would be for me to learn the wonderful new eriqjaffe software programs on this forum and do my own work. I should also use silvam's tutorial and learn how to create unis using the new templates.

I can use the old justafan's wonderful software, but it is not geared for the new templates. It still works well for me in 3D animation because I don't use the "zoom" mode. My unis still look fine in the old style templates using the 3D animation.

I think people make logos with AI instead of asking for them. I have to ask for requests.

Has the AI ever learned how to spell the city names properly in creating logos?

When it first came out, it was great except for the city spelling.

With me I learned how to make my own logos and uniforms so that's why I don't ask for people to make them as often like I did before. With the logos I don't use AI much, I just edit existing logos most of the time.

The Microsoft Bing one and ChatGPT has gotten better of late. I have not updated to the latest MidJourney but I tend to stick to images there - not every logo needs (or do I want) words.

I think the tools to make the unis are just so good, people make them and use them and don't think to post them. If those people are reading this maybe they'll start a thread & ask for people to post their favorites so some of that personal niftiness can be shared. Oh wait, that's literally what this thread is... well, here's hoping people post their fictional or alternative creations in the new format here for others to enjoy. Even if no one asked :)

Good post. Thank you.

I have made a lot of my recent logos and jerseys updates for my Islandian Pro Alliance teams because I didn't get a lot of response to my requests here on the forum.
(Except for hurricanekevin, No Pepper and range_20)

However, no one ever seemed to be impressed with by graphic skills when I would post my IPA updated logos and jerseys for a couple of folks here on the forum.
So I never thought of posting them.

I'm trying, man! The JPBO in my signature, the KBO updates I've made, Project Tedium to make Guardians fauxbacks...

I wonder if the Great Redaction of all the unlicensed leagues that occurred with 23 cooled off some of the enthusiasm for modding. Fictional stuff doesn't get as much interest as bringing real clubs into the game, especially [LEAGUE REDACTED].

I do have a plan for an NHL baseball league conversion if I can ever get off my duff.

Not sure if you had seen these or not. I did the primary home and away in the old style and then did a third, throwback style jersey in the new format.

I did, and I'm going to try to avoid copying your stuff directly when I do mine.

I appreciate all you're doing--it's a lot of work. The problem I have is that I want a fictional American league to pair with yours! I've made quickstarts in the past of Daniel Saline's USBL using Golem64's logos. I think I'm going to do it again but with some assets from other members of the community and really go big with it.

The problem is that I'm going to use the pre-23 template because there's just not enough from 23 and beyond to my liking for all the concepts to match. That's kind of the impetus of this post for me, to find more of them.

There's some great ballparks on the 3D Models page I need to use, too.
