Nice one.
Should be put in the articles section, I think, Crue. 
Sure. When it's done, it certainly deserves to be there |

Hopefully the final section on how to make a simple jersey:
The Sponsors.
First off, with sponsors, think and look at actually professional jerseys. Look at how big their sponsor logos are, and put in some consideration before you go ahead and put a minor sponsor plastered all the way across your jersey. Saying that, having small sponsor logos may be effective for a team with a lot of sponsors, but if your team has just the one big sponsor, then sure, use it quite a few times.
Ok, to start with, have your jersey up and running. I'm using a random one I made:
And then we need some sponsors. THink about whom you want, and where you want them before you start.
In this case, I'm going to be using Wiggle as a co-sponsor, and INet as a main one. This is as well as the usual clothing sponsors, bike, equipment, foods, etc.
With a bit of luck, you can find some sponsors online via google's picture search. (Wiggle logo for example). Some will need editing prior to use, and some won't. My Wiggle logo will not:
If when loaded up, the picture has those hatched boxes in the background, it means that there is no background to the picture, so you can rectangle box select the whole lot and copy paste it onto your jersey. Pasting will produce a new layer. Which is what you want for ease of editing.
If you, however, find a sponsor with background, or extra bits you don't want, then do the following!:
Open it up in Photoshop as usual:
Select the magic wand tool. This will enable you to select different parts of the logo as you wish. Look at my settings on the upper tool bar to get a rough idea of what to do. When all parts are selected, again copy/paste will surfice to get it onto the jersey.
As we can see, it's far too large for the jersey, and we'll need to change that.
Select the move tool. And on the upper toolbar the "transform controls", so that a tick appears in the little box.
This will create a box around your image, or the layer you are on's image. When you move the cursor close to the box surrounding the image (from the outside) the cursor will change into a double-ended arrow. If you click at that point, the upper toolbar will change into editing that image. We can change the size of the image here, or the slant, or the rotation.
As you can see, I decreased the size of the image to 30%, when happy click the "tick" on the right of the upper tool bar. This will change the controls back to how they were before entering transform control. Using the up/down/left/right arrow keys move the logo into the right place. Holding down "shift" will move the logo faster.
This can be done for multiple sponsors. I will update sooner or later on how to do more stuff when I can be arsed!

I've been playing around with this today - not created anything postable - but if I get into the management game I'll be creating a jersey of my own. 
Gotta say again, great post, rjc. |

It's somewhere easier, but the jerseys wouldn't look so nice. |

I don't have Paint.net so I can't just write a tutorial for it.

Find yourself an older version for cheaper then. Not a lot has changed in the basics of making a jersey with the older versions.

If you want only straight lines then paint.net is fine, however it doesn't have the ability to get much detail. Most of the tutorial still holds however.

Not that I'm a jersey maker or have any experience on this, but from what I've read, GIMP should also be a rather good program for making jerseys, |

GIMP has most of the functions Photoshop has, eg levels, channels, etc.
It's also FREE, FREE, FREE. |

No offence, but this is a question that's been answered c. 1000 times during the past week.
If you have a custom team, you need to put it in one of the C-folders in Program Files/Cyanide/PCM/CM_Textures/cycliste/team/cXX, e.g. c00. Save as 32bit TGA and call it c00_maillot. |

I've done that, but when I shall switch my custom team shirt in the editor, It ain't there, It's just the ordinary shirt who was there at the beginning. I've also made a 3-d shirt and putted it into the Gui/team_shirt. But when i shall switch shirt in the editor, I only find lots of dds-files. F.ex gce_minimaillot.dds.
Help me  |

The mini maillot can either be a dds or a tga file. Delete the dds one and yours will show up. |

Yes. Your file is a tga file. You need to delete the .dds one to make your .tga one show up. |
