Building the franchise and creating a team that people could fall in love with is what I find most intriguing about the game. About most sport teams, actually. I can crunch numbers until I get blue in the face, but when it really comes down to it, I root for someone with my gut feeling. It's what builds a connection to a team. That often undefinable extra something. For me graphics, logos, jerseys and so on plays an important role in this. The lack of jerseys is one of the reasons I have been basically inactive for a number of seasons (because I have missed them for a long long time). I will buy supporter once again if I get jerseys. I will be an active member in my community again (which has sunk from a stable 150, peak at 300 something, to a mere 86 teams today).

We want jerseys now! I could link to all the previous threads about jerseys, but I have another suggestion, since it always just fades away in "lack of programming skills or capacity". I will not wait in vain anymore.

Let's have a petition: Who wants jerseys? count me in. Let's make the BB's aware that we will not stand here naked. We need colours. We need flavour. We need sugar and spice. Let's force them out of silence and at least make a survey among the users. Do you want jerseys for your team? Yes/No I am confident that this is something people want.

Join the campaign for jerseys today! Perhaps cheerleaders could be implemented at the same time.

I'd love to have my own green flashy jerseys, count me inn!

Ok, this is the petition post then. I'll keep editing it.

Thank you for this great post :)

Jerseys are not a trivial addition.
One just have to look at the banners. They are specifically designed for BB, nice and creative, created by talented users. They help immersion in the game and to create a bond with the team. They give character and life to the franchise. They are important, I can't imagine BB without them.

Except for the most "scientific" players, it is important to have these elements in the game to let imagination flow from them. Most of us, we create stories in our little heads about the players and the team, yes, admit it !
BB is far from being just a little number crunching game, it's a playgroung for the mind to wander and make dreamy long-term plans.
I am not interested in fancy graphics. I am strongly for dev time invested in the GE and the game mechanics first but not to the point of completely overlooking basic "dressing".

Now, I don't think the BBs are opposed to jerseys, I don't remember them claiming so. It's more about lack of skills and technical solutions. I don't think they need to be convinced, I may be wrong.
It's one of the most wanted feature and asked for a long time. It's not arguable that it wouldn't appeal to a large number of users/supporters.

Yes count me in. Jerseys and the color customized court that can't be too difficult to set up.

I´m all for jerseys, sugar & spice!

I want jerseys...even if it's just a supporter feature, it would be nice to see it on other teams.
