Template:Football kit

[edit] [purge] Template documentation

This template can be used to display small approximations of a football (or rugby) kit in an article.

Usage

Note this is best used as a sub-template of an infobox such as {{Infobox Football club}} or {{Infobox National football team}}. See those templates for usage details.

To insert a standalone instance of a football kit on a page, use {{Football kit box}}.

You may specify the optional parameter "filetype" to use a different image format than the default PNG. Setting "filetype = svg" will use SVG files instead. However, you must first ensure that all of the images you want to use exist in a SVG format. Currently, most images only exist as PNG files and will not work with the SVG setting.

Example

Principal

{{Football kit
|alt        = Jersey with blue and white vertical stripes, blue shorts, and blue socks
|pattern_la = _white_stripes
|pattern_b  = _white_stripes
|pattern_ra = _white_stripes
|pattern_sh = 
|pattern_so = 
|leftarm    = 1F24B4
|body       = FFFFFF
|rightarm   = 1F24B4
|shorts     = 1F24B4
|socks      = 1F24B4
|title      = Principal
}}

The |alt= parameter is for visually impaired readers; see Wikipedia:Alternative text for images. The |pattern_ra= parameter is the pattern modifier for the right arm, e.g. "_white_stripes" would change the right arm to kit_right_arm_white_stripes.png.

Creating a new pattern

To create a new pattern template follow the examples below. When you have created a new pattern please add it to the list below. Do not create patterns for minor details on a kit, the template is for showing basic team colours. It is not supposed to be an accurate drawing of the kit.

How to name your file

• Start with Kit_body_ / Kit_right_arm_ / Kit_left_arm_ as required, and end with .png (lower case).
• Never use the word transparent in your file. All files should have one transparent colour.
• Multiple vertical lines are called colourstripes.
• Single vertical lines are called colourvertical.
• Multiple horizontal lines are called colourhoops.
• Single horizontal lines are called colourhorizontal.
• Halves are called colourhalf.
• Sashes are called colourrightsash (/) or colourleftsash (\).

Make sure to include {{Football kit template}} on the image description page.
