Template talk:Football kit

The purpose of a football kit template is to show the look, feel, and design of an association football (or rugby) kit for both identification and historical purposes. For the most complete listing of templates available for use, see the Football kit templates category on Wikimedia Commons. Also, generic templates are available at Template:Football kit/pattern list.

Specification

Usage

The most common usage is as a sub-template of an infobox such as {{Infobox football club}}, {{Infobox football club season}}, or {{Infobox national football team}} in use on an article relating to a football club or an article relating to a club's season. In some instances, particularly in articles relating to noteworthy and high profile matches, the template can be used in a standalone instance by using {{Football kit box}}.

Example

This template uses patterns (saved as partially transparent images on Commons) to cover solid blocks of color and render a complete kit. In the example below, the sleeves and shorts are dark red covered with white pattern, the body is white covered with red pattern, and the socks are white without pattern.

Principal

{{Football kit
| alt        = Football kit (white jersey with two broad, red,no vertical stripes; red shorts with side-stripes; and white socks).\
| | pattern_sh = _adidaswhite
| pattern_so = 
| leftarm    = D80000
| body       = FFFFFF
| rightarm   = D80000
| shorts     = D80000
| socks      = FFFFFF
| title      = Principal
}}

Parameters

For the available patterns, see Template:Football kit/pattern list.

The parameters for this template are as follows:

Note: arm patterns are identified as left and right from the reader's point of view (as opposed to the shirt-wearer's point of view).

Parameter	Description
alt	alternative text for screen readers; see Wikipedia:Alternative text for images
pattern_la	pattern modifier for left arm
pattern_b	pattern modifier for body
pattern_ra	pattern modifier for right arm
pattern_sh	pattern modifier for shorts
pattern_so	pattern modifier for socks
leftarm	color modifier for left arm
body	color modifier for body
rightarm	color modifier for right arm
shorts	color modifier for shorts
socks	color modifier for socks
title	title that appears under the template as rendered

If |socks=none, the template does not output the kit socks.

You may specify the optional parameter |filetype= to use a different image format than the default PNG. For example, setting "filetype = svg" will direct the template to SVG files. When using this optional parameter, you must ensure that all of the images you want to use exist in the format that you select. Currently, most images only exist as PNG files and will not work with the SVG setting.

Best practice

Whenever possible—for clubs of any stature—existing patterns should be used to render this template. Clubs that play in the highest level of competition within their country's league system (Premier League, La Liga, Serie A, MLS, etc.), however, may have an increased need for club and season specific templates to commensurate with the depth of information available for top flight clubs.

For any template change, attention should be paid to implement across Wikipedia sites worldwide. In particular, the English, Dutch, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, and Spanish sites should be updated anytime a template is changed or added. Additionally, when updating a club template for the current season, make sure to update both the "main" article for that club as well as the "current season" article for that club. Take extra caution when editing existing templates, many times multiple clubs will use the same template and an edit that works for one of the clubs may not work for another.

Creating and naming a new pattern

If you determine that a new pattern is necessary, use your image editor to create a new pattern including any details necessary to render the kit accurately. Templates for higher profile clubs should generally include more detail than those for lower profile clubs. For top flight clubs, the emphasis is on historical accuracy and season specific identification. For lower level clubs, the emphasis is on using generic templates and accurate representations of team colors.

Please follow the following rules for designing new patterns:

• Club badges, sponsor logos, and manufacturer logos should never be included.
• Every pattern must include a transparent field.
• Never include the word "transparent" in any file name.
• Each pattern must start with one of the following, as required:
  • Kit_left_arm_
  • Kit_body_
  • Kit_right_arm_
  • Kit_shorts_
  • Kit_socks_
• Each pattern must end with .png or .svg (lower case).

Generic patterns

If you feel that the pattern that you are adding could be used for other clubs and is not specific to a particular club, you are creating a generic pattern.

Naming convention for the Kit_body_ patterns are described as follows:

• Multiple vertical lines are called stripes.
• Single vertical lines are called vertical.
• Multiple horizontal lines are called hoops.
• Single horizontal lines are called horizontal.
• Halves are called righthalf (where the pattern color is on the right as viewed) or lefthalf (where the pattern color is on the left as viewed).
• Sashes are called rightsash (/) or leftsash (\).

When creating generic Kit_body_ patterns, use the "«color»«pattern identifier»" naming structure, where:

• «color» is a word that clearly describes the color of the details added by your pattern.
• «pattern identifier» is a word that clearly describes the style of the details added by your pattern.

For example, the body template used in the example above is named Kit_body_redgradiantstripes.png.

Alternatively, for generic Kit_body_ patterns, use the "«pattern identifier»on«color»" naming structure, where:

• «pattern identifier» is a word that clearly describes the style of the details added by your pattern.
• «color» is a word that clearly describes the color of the body of your pattern.

For example, the left sleeve template used in the example above is named Kit_left_arm_shouldersonwhite.png.

For sleeves, shorts, and socks patterns, use a description best fits the design you are creating, while taking into account the guidelines above for naming the body patterns.

Club-specific patterns

If you feel that the pattern that you are adding could generally not be used by another club, you are creating a club-specific pattern. Please note that in many cases, the Kit_body_ pattern will be the only part that is necessary to customize (sleeves, shorts, and socks are frequently generic).

When creating club-specific patterns, use the «team identifier»«season identifier»«kit identifier» naming structure, where:

• «team identifier» is a word that clearly indicates the club for which the pattern was originally designed for.
• «season identifier» is a number that identifies the season for which the pattern was originally designed for (i.e. "1011" for most clubs or "2010" for MLS clubs).
• «kit identifier» is the letter h, a, or t to identify whether the pattern is for a home, away, or third kit.

For example, the body of the 2010/11 home kit for Wigan Athletic F.C. should be named Kit_body_wigan1011h.png.

Uploading a pattern

Once your pattern has been created, upload the file to Wikimedia Commons and categorize your new pattern as appropriate. Do not place a pattern into both a category and the parent category (e.g., categorize the pattern in 'Football kit body/crosses', not in both 'Football kit body/crosses' and 'Football kit templates'). Each pattern should be assigned to a single category.

Internet Explorer Problems

As most of the world uses IE, shouldn't the problem with transparencies be fixed, as with IE, the strips turn grey as IE doesn't support 8-bit transparency. Maybe there should be a concerted effort to make the standard template strips accessible to the largest number of people? --Bob 17:04, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

I believe this problem has been solved in IE7. I also found the following website that describes a Javascript fix for IE 5.5-6: [1], which sounds interesting, and something that conceivably could be integrated into wikimedia (?!), but definitely outside the scope of discussion about this template. Are there particularly problematic elements (e.g., shirts which are widely used and whose transparencies do not work)? If it does not hurt the intended appearance of the strip, I think it would be acceptable to modify the file(s) so that it/they work for the greatest number of users. Rolando 16:17, 23 November 2006 (UTC)

Added basketball kit

I added a {{basketball kit}} which can use all the body patterns here (no arms, of course). It seems to work on FF2 but have not tried it with other browsers. If you have some familiarity with basketball, some artistic ability, and find the basketball jersey I created (Image:Kit body basketball.png) horrible, please make a better one. The template is in use in a couple of random places. Rolando 04:52, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

I made an improvement to the basketball shirt. Also added {{American football uniform}}. Rolando 07:25, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

Is there an option, in English Wikipedia, to put a picture of body kit, like in Polish Wikipedia? Ex. http://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lech_Pozna%C5%84 or http://pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zawisza_Bydgoszcz_%28pi%C5%82ka_no%C5%BCna%29 ђ

This image should be transparent in quadrants 2&3, not infilled with white. I've uploaded a corrected file to Wikipedia Commons and requested that they replace the existing file. Wiggy! 13:33, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

This is a problem with the transparency settings. See above for the discussion regarding this. It is not confined to just this image, but to many using this template. --Bob 23:14, 19 January 2007 (UTC)

Okay. Thanks. That was the only one I was having trouble with and it's been replaced so should be good now (I hope). Wiggy! 03:27, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

That English team from Wigan

There isn't a pattern that looks like Wigan Athletic's real kit. Can someone make one? I'm not logged in.

The one currently in use seems close enough to me ChrisTheDude 14:32, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

No, it doesn't. The white sides are OK, but we need a kit that has shoulders that go far down and meet the sides.

It does seem fine to me as well. The purpose of the kit template isn't to be an exact copy of the kit, but only to give the reader a rough image on how it looks". The one used in the article does that just fine. – Elisson • T • C • 16:58, 6 February 2007 Template:Wigan home07

The English national team

Could somebody please make the English kit? There isn't a pattern for the home [2] or the away [3] kit. There are some non-symmetrical horizontal stripes on the home shirt. The away shirt is plain red, but there are some designs on the shorts. Bluedevil04 12:34, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

Too minor details to be included, IMHO. – Elisson • T • C • 12:54, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

Yes, but they are present on the Spanish version. [4] Bluedevil04 2:40, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

Yes, but this is not the Spanish Wikipedia. Another Wikipedia doing something doesn't mean we should do the same. The general opinion (here on the English Wikipedia) is that we should not include very minor details on the kits. – Elisson • T • C • 15:44, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

frusterated

ive uploaded 2 custom kits but i cant figure out how to use them

File:Whitecapskithome.png HOME File:Whitecapskitaway.png AWAY

i want to put them on the Vancouver Whitecaps article —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Morbital (talk • contribs) 23:10, 13 February 2007 (UTC).

The first problem with the images above is that they are named incorrectly. Rather than Whitecapskithome.png, the name should be Kit_body_whitecapskithome.png and the template parameter should be _whitecapskithome.

That being said, editors here tend to dislike minute details on jerseys/kits/uniforms/etc. I edited Vancouver Whitecaps to use simpler, standard kit patterns. Take a look. Cheers. Rolando 06:13, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

It would probably look somewhat better. The last ones will probably appear as SVG sometime. — Kagee 02:14, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

To any admin: please read above conversation and if you agree, replace the pngs with SVGs. Thankyou and happy editing! :-)  Atyndall93 | talk  10:30, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

I would really like the ability to have both svg and png, if possible, you should be able to use both png and svg in the same kit so to speak. ← chandler 10:44, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

Yeah...that's going to take a whole lot of work to convert all of those images. I changed the template code for you so you can now use "|filetype = svg" to use all .svg files. After you find a way to convert the images, you can discuss setting svg as the default and use "|filetype = png" to specifically use png instead. You might consider asking on Wikipedia:Bot requests to see if anyone can automatically convert all of these images for you, because that would be a quite long and painful process to convert them all by hand. --CapitalR (talk) 17:54, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

The problem with SVG is that the arms have one 50% transparent black pixel that sticks up ← chandler 22:25, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

That seems to be a problem with the images themselves that could probably be easily remedied, plus, I can't see it easily on my 1024x768 monitor.  Atyndall93 | talk  23:23, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

 Done I went a head and fixed it myself ← chandler 00:36, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

The German/Italian Wikipedia have for some time been using HTML-code, which places blank SVG images on top of the existing PNG images, making the kits look much more smooth. The german version of the code seems to have fixed the most visually known errors cased by MSIE/WIE's somewhat "different" interpretation of the exiting wiki-code - such as including horizontal lines and not displaying certain corners/areas (1-2 pixels) of the football kit. Danish Wikipedia have had the same problem (because we used a copy of the english version of the template) until I recently replaced the entire code with the german version without any problems (just remember to adjust things like local things like "Bild" to "Image"). You should consider making the same switch.

Also could some administrator please add the following interwiki-links: [[da:Skabelon:Spilledragt]] [[de:Vorlage:Football kit]] [[es:Plantilla:Camisetas]] [[it:Template:Football kit]] [[pt:Predefinição:CamisaFutebol]] at the bottom of the template within the "noinclude" section? --Froztbyte (talk) 04:32, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

About adding svgs over them... wouldnt that create problems with custom collars? — chandler — 05:06, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

You could just add an extra condition to take care of those cases, where a specific body pattern was choosen. --Froztbyte (talk) 06:09, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

SVGs render as 24-bit PNGs which won't work properly in IE6 (unfortunately still used by a very large percentage of readers - the web company I work for still sees 20% of users on it), so they should probably be avoided. ed g2s • talk 13:54, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

Seattle Sounders FC jersey

Anyone want to take a shot at creating a the new jersey for Seattle Sounders FC. I can get a reasonable approximation with the following, but the blue side panel doesn't go all the way down the sides of the jersey, the blue striping continues down the sleeve as well, and the white striping doesn't go down all the way to the end of the sleeve either. See this link for a rather large mockup of the jersey.

Germany women´s national team
