Tomcat, so you do jerseys? Obviously so. Both of what you have shared above are quite good. You have a talent for this. Do you know anyone who has tried to create a good Bianchi jersey? With that famous celeste colour, what some call Bianchi green, a very light lime green. Here are some examples though I did not see here on Bing the one I was most interested to find from about year 2002: https://www.bing....ORM=IQFRBA
Who wants the Bianchi challenge? For most of racing history in Italia, the most famous of many famous names.
--------------------------
It is jersey options like this very distinctive Bianchi light lime colour-scheme which ought to be more readily offered in the PCM original games. Often about 1/5 of the peleton looks the very same, so during gameplay in 3-D it is very difficult to easily view a pack of 85-90 riders and distinguish one's own riders or famous name riders on various teams.

Happily there are many custom DBs for different seasons with lot of teams

girogino, a little tip for Google search: type bianchi imagesize:455x313 in Image search and you'll see many Bianchi jerseys in PCM-2008 - PCM-2012 format. Surely in this manner you can find all created jerseys and for other teams you are interested in. For example: saeco imagesize:455x313Edited by tomcat9 on 05-06-2020 20:24
Tomcat, many thanks. Those Team Bianchi jerseys from year 2003 are quite good. I particularly like the one done by a forum member here named Rin. That's the famous celeste, perfectly done. People might forget, but that was Team Coast. Rather hastily Bianchi stepped in when Coast went belly up financially. With almost no real even half year of preparations, Bianchi and Jan Ullrich nearly won the Tour de France, only coming behind Lance Armstrong by only a minute or so. AND: Ullrich bested his former Deutsche Team Telekom teammate and drunk driving incident buddy, Alexandre Vinokourov. That was the 2003 TdF podium: 1. Armstrong 2. Ullrich 3. Vinokourov (still with Team Telekom). If Team Bianchi had pulled off that incredible victory, they would have been able to continue financially as a Grand Tour racing team sponsor. Sadly, it was not to be - no mention of what Mr. Armstrong was doing.... (Tyler Hamilton's book is very instructive about this time period.)
Edoardo Bianchi's Milano-based company (started in 1885!) has lots of fans everywhere, simply because the beating heart of the cyclisme mundo has a special place for the name Bianchi. Ask a good bikeshop repairman how much he enjoys being able to work on one....
Okay - no more history lessons Thanks for pointing out where one can begin to hunt and peck to find good, colourful, and HISTORIC team kit. Many thanks, once again, Tomcat. You're a good man.

Here are all Pro Tour teams logos of the Season 2005.
I tried to make them in the style of those old years so logos look similar to letterings on jerseys.
I made it for my own DB, but this pack may be also useful for DB creators for 2007 to 2014 PCM editions or for those players who would like slightly improve graphics in a DB they're playing now (for example Titan 05 DB for PCM 2007). Just rename all .tga files as necessary. List of the teams:
