VictoriaGooner Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Hi everyone. I was wondering if someone could give me some advice with Inkscape. I am designing football/soccer kits and I was wondering how do you create both stripes and hoops. I have tried re-creating both but everytime either the endges are either too long or too short and it just looks like rectangles pasted overtop. I want them to look seamless. Is there any tutorials out there on creating stripes and hoops on football kits? How about current svg football kit templates with both hoops and stripes that can adapted? Assistance would be greatly appreciated! Cheers!The Clip tool should help you out: I took a look at the video on clipping but I use clipping for other reasons. I just don't see how to use clipping to create stripes and hoops on football kits. Maybe you can elaborateLay out the stripes or hoops as individual rectangles and make sure they overlap the outer edges of the jersey or shorts. Then you make a copy of the jersey or shorts and paste in place on top of the stripes or hoops. You select the top uni piece you just pasted as well as all of the stripes or hoops, then clip them. It should only show the stripes or hoops within the boundary of the uniform.Thanks for clarifying... I will try that when I start my next fantasy footy team kit.

GeauxColonels Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Here's an illustration of using the clip function to create hoops or stripes.1. Set up your template.2. Create your hoops/stripes and position them as you want them to look on the final product. Make sure they overlap the edges of the jersey template or the clip tool will not work.3. Copy and paste in place the jersey template stroke (outline) on top of the hoops/stripes. Select the outline and all of the hoops/stripes you wish to clip. Then select "Object>>Clip>>Set"4. Lastly, lower the hoop/stripe objects so that they are below the existing jersey outline, any logos and the illustrations of the seams and stitching.

VictoriaGooner Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Awesome thanks for the tutorial. You wouldn't happen to know how to use the gradient function with respect to football kits stripes/hoops/main body coloring like with the new Argentina home and away kits?

Pretty simple. First, you need to select all of the stripes/hoops and "union" them. This will create one object of separate stripes/hoops. You MAY need to do that before clipping them.

VictoriaGooner Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 How do you use the gradient tool? It never seems to work for me. I was trying to recreate the 2014 Argentina World Cup kit with the gradient wavy lines but can't even get close. How would I proceed once I "union" all the stripes/hoops?

GeauxColonels Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 I'm not familiar with the kits you're talking about, but you use the gradient as you would the fill too. Then you can edit it, add stops and modify the angle and direction of the gradient if needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a similar effect caused by striping of increasing/decreasing thicknesses. To mimick what they're doing on those jerseys, you'll need to create the individual lines.
