Hello, the shirts ingame at the team selec turned purple only with this DB (roster update 2014), and NOT the expansion pack itself, which works fine.
I have tried everything, installing the DBs again, checking the right folders and such, also read about moving around the local file from the backup, no luck there either, please help. |

also ingame it's just some random white shirt. |

That means that the game can't find the shirt/minishirt files. So I'd check again about the installing directory. Can you post a screen of where you installed the files?
Also do you have the Real Name DB or the Expansion Pack? If it's the latter, did you install these minis and flags by yourself? Because the ones included in the Expansion Pack are different than that

With another database I have the same problem. I have all the shirts except one team which is a white shirt with some red striping on it? I'm not sure if this is a problem with the folders or an error with the design, still trying to sort it out.

Easier to explain, opened and followed expansion pack guide, afterwards the same with the roster update, installed in the my documents/pcm/mod/database i believe
everything but the shirts work |

You mean you installed the .cdb to the My Docs folder or all the files of the DB? The files should be installed to Program Files/Cyanide/PCM13 (or the Steam directory if you have the game by Steam). The .cdb file should be installed to the My Docs folder (but the .exe file will do that automatically, no need to worry about that).

Ok I understand about the minishirts file, but if this were the case wouldn't it affect all the teams and not just one.
The DB I'm talking about is Sali's 1996 and all the teams have shirts in-game except Once who are one of the main teams. The Once top instead of being yellow etc is just white with a bit of red. |

Sorry, I misread that it was only 1 shirt. If it's 1 shirt not working only and the rest seem fine, it's more likely that it's a bug of the DB indeed. Check in DYN_sponsor in the .cdb file the jersey_sz_abbreviation of Once; then take a look in Program Files/Cyanide/PCM13/3D/Cyclists/Cloth/Team to see if there is a folder with that name (the jersey_sz_abbreviation of Once). If there is, check if inside it there's the jersey file with the name [jersey_sz_abbreviation]_maillot, in .png format and 910x626.

Where do I look for the DYN.sponsor .cdnb file section, as I can't find this part?
The next part I have checked: Program Files/Cyanide/PCM13/3D/Cyclists/Cloth/Team
and the Once shirt is in a folder labelled onc96, inside the folder there are three pictures 1) Main picture labelled one96_maillot and is 910x626 and the other two pics are one96_transfert_ar 138x92 and one96_transfert_av 158x104.
One thing I've noticed, is that on the folder it is labelled onc96 and inside the folder it is labelled one96 (one has a c and the other an e) shouldn't they be the same?i |

Indeed that's what should be causing the problem. DYN_sponsor can be found by opening the .cdb file (located in My Docs/PCM13/Mod/Database) with an editor. But no need to do that, I've just checked in the 96 DB .cdb file and the files should be named "onc96". So the folder is named correctly, but the files inside it should be 'onc96_maillot' and 'onc96_transfert_ar/av' 
Is the minishirt bugged too? If yes, check in Program Files/Cyanide/PCM13/Gui/team_shirt if there's a file called 'onc96_minimaillot'.

Hooray I have success and Jalabert and team wearing Once shirts, even though I noticed the C and the E difference, I would never have solved this without your help, you really are a superstar, many thanks. |

You should install both updates to your main PCM-folder as described in the installation description. That's not "my documents/pcm/mod/database", but the folder where pcm.exe is located. |

then what should i do? i have both used the exe and installed that properly with the cdb in the right place, also manually just putting the cdb there, what else can i do? |

Re-install the DB and install it in the correct directory. You might also want to delete the extra files from the My Docs folder, it isn't essential but otherwise you'll have 10 GB of files just laying around
Btw, I'm still unsure if the Expansion Pack has been installed properly: when you go to the .2 races, are there some races with the route Plouay - Plouay? Do some teams like 4-72 Colombia have pink minishirts too?

As far as i can see there are no stages or races like that, but indeed the 4-72 is also pink. What now? I deleted EVERYTHING with CT2014roster update and installed it again with the .EXE, same problem, is it the expansion pack? but that seemed to work. |

These files come with the Expansion Pack, not the 2014 roster update. You have to re-install the Expansion Pack.
