Designing a football kit used to mean fighting a vector editor or paying a designer. With a kit designer app you can go from blank shirt to a finished, share-ready jersey in minutes. Here's the process good kit designers follow — and how to do each step in My Jersey, free.
Step 1: Start with two colours
Almost every iconic kit is built on two colours plus one accent — Arsenal's red and white, Boca's blue and gold. Pick your primary for the body and sleeves, and a secondary for collar, cuffs and trim. In My Jersey every part of the shirt — body, each sleeve, collar, cuffs, hem — has its own colour picker, so you can lock the palette in before touching a pattern.
Step 2: Layer your patterns
This is where a kit gets its identity. My Jersey ships 60+ patterns — stripes, hoops, halves, sashes, chevrons, pinstripes, checkerboard and premium designs like Aztec and Lightning — and, crucially, they layer. Stack a subtle pinstripe under a bold sash, reorder the layers, and recolour each one independently.
Step 3: Add the badge, brand and sponsor
Details make a design read as a real kit. Add a club badge (a real one, or design your own crest in the Badge Creator), a sportswear brand mark, and a sponsor — a logo, your own image, or plain text in a jersey font. Drag each one exactly where you want it and pinch to resize.
Step 4: Collar and finishing touches
Choose a round neck, v-neck or polo collar — the collar changes a kit's character more than people expect (polo = classic, v-neck = modern). Adjust the fold shading sliders until the shirt looks right.
Step 5: Name, number and export
Flip to the back, add a name and number in one of 30+ jersey fonts, then save. My Jersey exports high-quality images of the front and back — ready for the group chat, social media, or a printer.
