I have numbers showing up on top of my shoulder pads on 3/4 of my custom created teams. Not sure what is going on. Any help would be highly appreciated.

Shoulder pad numbers are automatic if you don't have the "sleeve number" box checked. (See below.) If you want sleeve numbers, check the box. If you don't want either sleeve numbers nor shoulder pad numbers then check the sleeve number box and then include the tiny little pink box designated as u9 (circled below the team edit screen) in the home and away folders for the team in question.

Hey Old Coach, thanks for this info. I didn't know you could have a Uni with No Sleeve or Shoulder Pad numbers.

Thank you OldCoach. Appreciate the info.

Where do you get the pink u9 ?

I'll upload it to FBMAX.

I uploaded a folder to the FBMAX site this AM called Sample Items. It contains a subfolder with U9 bmp.

Thanks, Old Coach

I uploaded a file called "Sample Items" to FBMax this AM but I see that it has not yet been posted. I uploaded the folder again this evening. Hopefully it will be there soon. The folder also includes a hip pad template to add to the U3 jersey BMP. See below. Note the background is pink with the color code 255, 0, 255. Set that color as the background color on the U3 BMP and you paste the hip pads on as a transparent overlay.

Very nice work Old Coach. But I have only ever seen exposed Hip pads on Middle school Football Players. Is it common in Highschools in the South?

That's a relic of the 60's and 70's. Look at game film from those days and you see exposed hip pads.

The folder "Sample Items" that I sent to FBMAX is on that site. Click on the link that states "I have added a link for files that are unsorted". Look for Sample Items. The U9 bmp and some other useful things are in the zipped folder.

Thanks for your help Old Coach !
