How to Create Graphics & Patterns with Kit Creator
Bozif's designs rarely disappoint.
Now, some very talented people are able to make their own graphics and patterns entirely on their own - it makes a lot of sense if you go into production or if you need a prime example of your work, but for sole concepts or crafting ideas, it is better to first use different techniques before bringing it to a production-ready vectorized format (if that is needed).
Most of the time, what I do is use a graphic or pattern from the internet and then edit it a bit. That usually consists of running it through the PES Master Monochrome Logo Maker, which is an online site that’s currently only available to Plus users - but there are other online alternatives that you can find by searching around.
1. Patterns Using Single Images & Logos
A simple yet elegant Real Madrid kit, created by Chris from Footy Headlines.
The most straightforward option to create patterns is to use the patterns already available in the tool and apply them to the kit. This is a simple method, and although I don't usually rely solely on it, it's a great way to get started.

You can also create a pattern using a monochrome club crest, for example. It creates a more modern look and is a regular feature of official kits as well, such as the current season Rostock third kit and the lovely Roma 19-20 third kit (which had to be altered for UEFA competitions as UEFA only allows one crest as an all-over pattern).
Combining different patterns to create bespoke and unique mashup designs is one of the best ways to get fantastic kits
2. Patterns Created by Overlaying Different Layers - Mask Feature
Chris created this Venezia design with Kit Creator - the team's official third kit will look similar.
One of the most creative ways to make patterns, which is also the easiest to get wrong, is combining multiple different patterns by using the Mask feature. However, this can be extremely confusing because it involves knowing where each pattern needs to be, making sure each pattern is masked to the right asset, and quite a few other things. So let's go straight to my favorite way.
3. Create Mashup Patterns Using Photo Editing Software & Wallpapers
One thing I often like to do is make my own mashup patterns that feature multiple references to the team that I’m making the kit for: for example, the above Bayern Munich kit I made includes retro Bayern logos, a lot of diamond details, and a Bavarian-style “FC Bayern” text at the top. This is all overlaid with a red and navy graphic.
Indeed, the gradient graphics of Bayern and Porto are actually quite simply a wallpaper designs I found on Google - remember that when making concept kits, you don’t have to do everything yourself. Google can be your best friend sometimes, as long as you always heavily change the things you get from it, because otherwise it’s basically plagiarism. Sometimes, to transform a simple kit into an imaginative one, all it takes is just a desktop wallpaper from Google masked over it. Yes, I know it’s a bit low-effort, but unless you’ve got the time and skills to make your own, all it really is is just adding some cool colours.
4. Use Real-Life Photos/Drawings
This Venezia concept was created by user dani.dsgn back in 2021 - he combined a beautiful drawing of Venezia with the team's famous colors, creating a lovely and very fitting kit for the Italian team.
Another option is using real-life graphics, which you can either edit out of pictures of real kits or find online - the user Kit Man Cal on X has an awesome Google Drive full of graphics and patterns from real, updated kits. Many users on the Kit Creator Showcase also allow remixing on their kits by opening the kit.
So, that’s all for this week’s article! Once again, I hope you found it helpful; I’ve got some more coming soon, which will help you advance even further in your kit-designing journey, and hopefully, soon, you’ll be creating some awesome and original designs!
If you have any questions for me, feel free to send them via Discord or the FIFA Kit Creator messaging system - or you can post them in the comments underneath this article and I’ll respond to them when I can!

The shirt features a rich red base with a subtle structural jacquard pattern across the fabric reflecting the glasshouse's intricate framework. It is framed by a navy blue polo collar and matching shoulder inserts, while the sleeve cuffs showcase a vibrant geometric diamond trim in the Reds' traditional red, blue, and yellow colors. The kit is finished with white sponsor logos and a silver star above the club crest.
Navy blue shorts and red socks complete the traditional full look of the Adelaide United 26-27 home strip, which is now available through the club's official online store and retail outlets.

The Phrae United 26-27 home kit sports vertical red and maroon stripes enhanced with dark green and gold trim, drawing inspiration from regional woven textile traditions. The away kit features a clean white base highlighted by striking indigo blue patterned panels across the front and shoulders, directly nodding to the province's celebrated tie-dye heritage. Completing the player range, the third kit comes in deep navy with subtle, repeating traditional micro-motifs, finished with bright sky blue accents along the collar and sleeve cuffs.

Footy Headlines can now leak 11 new pictures of the Adidas Inter Miami 2027 home kit. Although it is a fake, the design is identical to the real one.
The new Inter Miami 2027 home shirt features a pink gradient across its fabric, inspired by Miami's pink skies, complemented by matching pink Adidas stripes and a pink collar with black accents.
Al-Muharraq SC 26-27 Home & Away Kits Released
Bahraini powerhouse Al-Muharraq SC has unveiled its new home and away kits for the 26-27 season, once again crafted by Italian brand Macron. The new collection stays true to the club's heritage with refined, classic designs that incorporate traditional club colors and rich local symbolism.
The 26-27 home shirt arrives in the club's signature vibrant red, complemented by a white polo-style collar and thin white piping running down the sides. In contrast, the away jersey reverses the palette with a crisp white base accented by a red collar and matching trim. Both jerseys incorporate subtle tonal jacquard vertical stripes into the fabric, lending a classic touch to the modern performance material.
A standout detail on both shirts is the central chest graphic placed between the Macron Hero and the embroidered club crest. It features the silhouette of Muharraq alongside the founding year 1928 and the Arabic inscription "المحرق أمانة تتوارثها الأجيال" (Muharraq is a trust inherited across generations). Sponsors DHL and eazypay complete the look on the front.
CD Lugo 26-27 Home Kit Released
Spanish Primera Federación side CD Lugo and Puma have officially unveiled the club's new home kit for the 2026-27 season. Launched under the Galician campaign slogan "Cambia o trazo, non a identidade" (Change the stroke, not the identity), the design modernizes the club's historic look while maintaining its core identity.
The Puma CD Lugo 2026-27 home shirt features the traditional red-and-white vertical stripes, updated with a subtle gradient effect along the edges of the red stripes that gives the pattern a dynamic, softened feel. Red takes the primary focus across the top, covering the set-in sleeves and forming the front portion of the V-neck collar, which is accented by white trim along the collar and cuffs.
Moving away from previous blue accent trims, the new shirt adopts a cleaner red, white, and black palette. It is completed with the Puma cat logo on the chest, the club crest over the heart, and the familiar Estrella Galicia sponsor centered across the torso.
Nottingham Forest Announce Bally Bet Sleeve Sponsor Deal
Nottingham Forest have officially announced a two-season partnership with Bally’s Intralot, confirming them as the club's Official Sleeve Partner for the 26-27 and 27-28 campaigns.
As part of the agreement, the Bally Bet logo will appear on the sleeves of the men’s first-team shirts, while the Jackpotjoy branding will feature on the sleeves of the Nottingham Forest Women’s first team. The move follows Bally’s tenure as the club’s primary front-of-shirt sponsor during the 25-26 season.
With the Premier League’s ban on front-of-shirt gambling sponsorships coming into effect for the 26-27 season, Forest introduced Marex as their new front-of-shirt sponsor.
Shifting Bally's to the sleeve allows the club to extend their commercial partnership while adhering to the league's regulations, which continue to permit gambling brands on shirt sleeves.
Hull City Announce McVitie's as Sleeve Sponsor for 26-27 Season
Hull City has officially announced the return of iconic British biscuit brand McVitie's as the official sleeve sponsor across all first-team playing shirts throughout the 26-27 season. The deal marks a reunion between the Tigers and pladis-owned McVitie's, following an earlier partnership between the two during the 23-24 campaign.
The distinctive navy and gold McVitie's badge sits directly on the left sleeve above the cuff trim, complementing the club's 26-27 kit range produced by Oxen. Unfortunately, these colors do not fit.
