A full set of default kits - front, back and goalkeeper, plus a set of narrower shirt numbers to fit the narrower SS kits and re-positioned shirt club badges to fit this style, along with shirt manufacturers and sponsors.

This pack only works in FM17 - it does not work in Football Manager 2018.
If you are looking for default kits for FM18 then please see this thread:
https://sortitoutsi.net/downloads/view/37502/fidneys-ss18-default-kits

NOTE - The club badges for the shirt front have NOT been made by me - these are the default badges from the game and I have just re-positioned them to sit in the right place on SS kits, and then added shirt manufacturers logo and sponsor. (There is an alternate set of just the re-positioned badges if you do not want to see the kit manufacturers or sponsors - simply swap them over).

Installation instructions for Windows PC's ONLY

***CARE - the file paths for the installed kits must be exactly as specified to avoid the SI "effect" appearing over the kits.
***CARE - the paths must be in lower case. If there are any capital letters the SI "effect/texture" will be superimposed over the kit.

1. Place the "FM17 SS Default Kits v1.7z" file into the following directory:-
C:\Users\YOUR NAME\Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2017

2. Right click and select "Extract Here"
If/when you see the message saying would you like to replace an existing file select "Yes to All" - this will ONLY over-write files with the same name in the destination. All other files will remain untouched.

If you are happy with the kits as shown in my screenshots then skip instruction 3, and go straight to no. 4.

3. If you prefer to have just the club crests showing on the shirts (without manufacturers logo and sponsor) then do the following:
a. Navigate to the folder "Crest Only - by SI"
b. COPY the files named 0 - 13.
c. Navigate back a step to the "logos" folder.
d. PASTE the files there, replacing files 0 - 13 that are in that folder.

4. In your game make sure that you do the following:-
Go into Preferences
Click on "More Interface Settings"
Remove the tick from "Use caching to decrease page loading times"
Click on "Reload Skin"

Once installed, the full file path to the default kits (fronts) should be EXACTLY as follows, or the "effect" layer will not work and you will still see SI's "effect" layer over the SS default kits:
C:\Users\YOUR NAME\Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2017\graphics\pictures\kits\2d\outfield\front\default

When I say exactly, I mean it. If you add another layer, name any of the folders differently (including spaces, punctuation or even capitalisation) then the "effect" layer will not work on the default kits and you will still see the SI "effect" layer instead.

The final screenshot shows the directory structure the pack extracts to. If this structure is not in place exactly as shown then the pack will not work properly.

NOTE: Your structure can contain ADDITIONAL folders within any of the folders I show, but the path from beginning to end for EACH of "my" folders must be as shown in the screenshot.

CARE - I believe that unzipping files does not work the same way on a Mac.
For Linux and Mac operating systems please ensure that you place the extracted files in the exact same locations as the file path in the archive, but please ensure that you do not delete any other files when doing so.
