I 've been thinking the last couple of years that one of things that make me get tired of a long long save is this lack of freshness apart from the new transfers coming in.. You know, usually same system, same philosophy blah blah. And in addition, same images throughout the year and then it hit me:
Since now we have a very good database of like 60+ years of teams competing on what we call "contemporary football", how hard would it be to create an algorithm that will be able to create new kits every year for each team. And yah obviously if you wanna do a crap job on it, you can always throw a simple randomizer in there and hope for the best, but I am talking about a sophisticated algorithm. I' ll use Juventus as an example here: Juventus main colors should be black and white. They always have thick (or thin or whatever) vertical lines on their Jersey.. or do they? Cause that 's what I remember, but now I am googling and I can see patterns here that can become parts of an algorithm.. In 2020 for example they threw a gold rim in the lines. In 2019 they split the jersey in the middle with a red line and had half a black and half a white jersey.. So how often in the last 20 years did they choose stripes? How often do they go for the thin vertical lines? What are the 3rd supportive colors they tend to choose? Pink? gold? red? What level of risk taking do they seem to employ in their 3rd (supportive) colors? Do they follow trends ? (Pink jerseys come to mind). Or do they create them? See where I am going with this? There is a ton of data out there, and I am pretty sure if anyone can analyze and algorithmize all these information, it s obviously the people behind the Football Manager series.
And that could provide the player with an amazing moment in July of every year or whenever where the team will present the new kits, in a screen similar to winning a trophy or something, and you 'll have your captain and your star player and your goalie showcasing the new kits for the year, I think it can make a great impact to the game the same way it does in real life football every year. Any thoughts?
