-Request a collar logo. I use one of the side logos but i would like to have both my side logos free. And it would be easier to position.
-More sleeve stripe options? Something like from the Steelers jersey.
-edit: When using curved text, sometimes the letters are too spaced out resulting in letters being too small in order to fit. is it possible to adjust that?

I can't thank you enough for these utilities! And yes, this definitely needs stickied!
While you're waiting for this one, I discovered that, if you have PowerPoint 2013, you can create your own jersey text PNG file with much more flexibility than the Creator currently allows.
  • Open a blank sheet, insert a text box and write out the jersey text.
  • Customize the text with fonting, point size, boldness, character spacing, etc. Handle this by calling out the box under Home/Font, clicking the little arrow in the bottom right. Included is Character Spacing.
  • To curve the text, select the text and go to Drawing Tools/Format, select Text Effects/Transform/Follow Path. Resize the adjustable formatting box that surrounds the text left-to-right and up-and-down, for the level of curviness you want. (Careful how small you want to make the curve--if you go too far, you will render the logo upside down.)
  • Open and use Windows's Snipping Tool to create a PNG file of the text, by clicking New and then manually selecting a box area around the text. (Or use any other screen capture program, e.g., Snagit, you might have.)
  • Once captured, press CTRL+C within snipping tool to copy, then go back to the document and CTRL+V to paste it there. The PNG of the jersey text is now back in your PPT document.
  • Double click anywhere on the PNG area to open Picture Tools/Format, and select Remove Background.
  • Pay close attention here: Make sure the entire text is inside the box-within-the-box by adjusting it. The background to be removed will turn magenta, but some letters will also be darker than others. The darker letters will be left behind and the lighter letters will be removed. But you can select "Mark Areas to Keep" from the ribbon and manually touch each lighter letter to make them dark and thus leave them behind as well. Then select Keep Changes under Picture Tools/Format/Background Removal. This will remove the background.
  • Right click on the revised PNG and Save as Picture from context menu to save to a disk or hard drive.
  • Open Jersey Creator, select Logo Source/Image, select Add Image, navigate to wherever use saved the PNG file, and double click the file to add it to the uniform.
  • Season to taste.
That should do it for you.
