SS' Kits
We have thousands of individual FM Kit Packs, when you download these packs your copy of Football Manager will be updated with all the latest kits. Not only that but you'll have our famous SS Kits, which we think are the best Football Manager Kits around.

NEW Submission System
A new submission system for the SS Kits has been released. Please see this forum topic.
Ladies and gentlemen, I am proud to present a full set of SS style default kits for Football Manager 2024 (will also work in FM20-FM23 and in Touch versions). This release features tweaked shirt designs and a better fitting effect/overlay layer.
An alternate effect (aka texture) layer is now included which matches the texture used in the SS kit packs. The overlay based on the SI overlay is the active one when you unzip the pack. To use the alternate overlay, navigate to the default folder (C:\Users\YOURNAME\Documents\Football Manager 202x\graphics\pictures\kits\2d\outfield\front\default) and change the name of the file called effect.png to SIeffect.png (or delete it altogether) and then change the name of the file called SSeffect.png to effect.png
This includes shirt backs and goalkeeper shirts which you will see on the tactics screen and at the bottom of your screen in a match
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS (WINDOWS)
1. Place the file Fidney's SS Style Default Kits v22.zip into your Football Manager USER DATA DIRECTORY.
a). Default location of your user data directory is C:\Users\YOURNAME\Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 202x
b). If you sync your Documents to OneDrive it will be C:\Users\YOURNAME\OneDrive\Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 202x.
c). If you have gone into Preferences and changed the location of your user data directory then it will be wherever that is.
2. Extract contents of the zip file to your Football Manager 202x directory.
a). If you use WinRAR or 7Zip simply right click and select Extract Here
b). If you use Windows built-in Winzip right click and select Extract All and then in the dialogue box that pops up delete \Fidney's SS Style Default Kits v22 from the end of the file path you are extracting to.
c). If/when you see the message saying would you like to replace an existing file select Yes to All. In Windows this will only overwrite files with the same name in the destination and all other files will remain untouched.
For other operating systems you may need to extract the .zip to another location and manually copy across into your user data folder to avoid deleting other files. The default location of your user data directory may be different if you use a Mac or Linux PC.
The pack will unzip all the files into the following file path [first directory will be whichever version of FM you are using] :
The extracted file path is case sensitive and must not contain any additional levels, although you may have other folders/directories sharing the same file path. For example, this file path is perfectly acceptable [first directory will be whichever version of FM you are using] :
As you can see, the directories in the pack (highlighted) are in exactly the same place in this file path as they are in the “clean” file path shown higher up.
CARE: If other levels are introduced, or the names of any of the folders are changed in any way then the SI "effect/texture" will appear over the kits instead of the SS style texture.
3. If the SS style default kits don't show in your game then go into Preferences, turn off skin caching and reload your skin.

I don't use SS kits personally, but I admire this project and the effort that you put in. Massive respect!

Very useful

Great job mate!
We should do something as community about missing badges on generic kits. Its shame that this problem is still in game.
I created a topic on SI forum, comment there that the SI could see the problem is serious.

Just a quick question. I've used your default kits for god knows how long now, but I always have a shadow behind the kit. It is more noticeable around the collar and sleeves. Is there something I've done wrong?
Fidney
I have tweaked the overlay layer a little this year so it is a better fit as the previous one had a very thin brighter outline that was mostly noticeable on a dark background, but I wouldn't call that a shadow and I don't think that's what you mean here.
My initial suspicion based on your description is that the file path to the default kit folder is not 100% exactly as it should be, and if not, then although the SS style default kits will work they will have the SI overlay layer instead of the one in my pack and that overlay is (obviously!) a slightly different shape and size. It is almost transparent and where it overlaps the SS style shape it would be visible as a shadow.
Of course that's only a suspicion based on your described symptoms - can you post a screenshot of what you see please?
EnigMattic1
Don't ask me how, but I was able to sort it. The thing that did confuse me at one point though, was that after moving the kit folders around, clearing cache and reloading the skin, I actually lost the sidebar. It is sorted now though, thanks for your reply.

I'm happy with that…SS kits in Editor 2022. love it. 😀
Dr. Dazzle
Hello, I think I've got the same problem you had, may I ask how you were able to fix it?
EnigMattic1
I think it was the path. I had to move folders around so it looked like the instructions above.
Dr. Dazzle
Yep, that's what did it. Thank you!
Daniele Delicato
I followed the path, but the shirts are always seen overlapping what can I do?
mons
Try using the FM21 version of this file, which, as the thread title says, is for FM22 😉
Daniele Delicato
THESE SS STYLE DEFAULT KITS WERE MADE FOR FM22 BUT SHOULD ALSO WORK IN FM20 & FM21.
I also tried the ones for the 2021 version and they have the same problem.

Some skins like “flut dark skin” comes with standard kits (fc'12). If you what to change the standard kits playing with “flut dark skin” then you have to replace the kits that comes with the skin. In the case of “flut dark skin” there is a description in the OP (opening post) on how to do that. I dont know if that help 👍
Fidney
Folks, the design of the default kits in FM23 (or at least the Beta) is identical to FM22 therefore these SS style default kits are fully FM23 compatible which is great news for me this season as it means I don't need to put out a new pack for FM23.
Fidney
Sorry, bit late in replying to this!
I think your problem is that the 5th directory in in your screenshot is named grapichs - it should be named graphics
Sandro90
Hi Fidney,
Shirt badges are back in FM23? 🙂
Fidney
No such luck I'm afraid. Still no shirt badges on the default kits unless you also you have no badge for that club (default badge will show on shirt).
Sandro90
Fidney, are you able to make generic logos invisible on default kits? 🤔
Fidney
No, sorry, it's coding in the game that puts the badge on the kit, but (due to a bug) it doesn't work if you have an actual badge for the team as opposed to a generic badge.
I don't know any way to stop the generic logo showing on the default kits.

thanks

Hello. Thanks for this
I have a graphic problem with my FM 19(I still play it). All the team logos, player silhouettes, national flags, kits and such are missing. So I downloaded these default kits but that's only one problem solved, as there is no kit number in this file I only get blank kits and it disturbs me really, I tried downloading older versions of your SS defaults with kit numbers but they have been moved from the links. So please if you can direct me towards the direction of where I can get those older versions, or PNG of the kit numbers only please, if I can get default logos too I'll be very happy. Here is my email I believe sending it there will be better than links [email protected]. Thank you very much
Edit Thanks
Fidney
Hi, the numbers are the same as those in the FM17 SS Default Kit pack which I notice you have also downloaded. If you do need the numbers (and the only place they show is on the back of the shirts on the tactics screen) then use the ones from that pack and put them in the same place in your FM2019 install directory and they will work just fine.
However, all the graphics you say you are missing are included in the game itself so I would recommend that you reinstall the game. Whatever has happened to them, a reinstall should sort it out.
Hope this helps.
HeySarki
Yes I did download, but the link says the file is curropt or missing, so my SS 17 didn't work, but do you have another link, or the file itself and send to my email please. The lack of numbers is my main problem
Fidney
Try this link https://sortitoutsi.net/media/48138/download
Should take you to the FM2017 download page where you can download the pack containing the numbers folder.
I have just checked this link and it is working fine, file downloads OK and unzips without any problems and everything is there and working. Enjoy :-)
However, I will say again that all the graphics you say you are missing are included in the game itself. If you haven't got them then it seems like your installation has become corrupted and the simplest and easiest way to get them back is just to reinstall the game. You can do this without messing up your save.
HeySarki
It is the same link, I don't have a premium membership so I have to download from those free mirror sites when I click on the link, that's where the problem is they say file is unavailable. Thats why I asked if you have the file (not from the link) and help send to my email please, I think there is an issue with either my game or the computer I use, it is a very cheap version of FM 19 and the laptop is old, that's all I can afford 😅. So if you have the file stored somewhere please help send it, if it's not a bother. I can do without the other missing graphics.
Oh also if you have default club logo files you wish to share, would love that too. Thanks for your help and patience. This is my email again [email protected]
Fidney
I have pinged you an email with a copy of my number set for FM2017. Those numbers should show on the kits when you are looking at the tactics screen.
I'm afraid I can't share the default logo files because they are not mine to share. If you want them in a different style (Metallic etc.) then you could reach out to one of the logo pack makers, but as I've mentioned a couple of times, reinstalling your game should give you those back (it doesn't matter how cheap your copy was, the game is exactly the same game).
HeySarki
That k you, saw the email. Yeah the number bugs me more will find a solution for the logos it is easier to solve I think, there are several packs available right? That ks again, it's pretty late now, will download the attachment tomorrow and update you, thank you

Hi. Why could this be? This happens to all goalkeepers.
