Template:Basketball kit/doc

This is a documentation subpage for Template:Basketball kit.

{{Basketball kit/doc}} is inspired by Template:Football kit and allows a stylized representation of a basketball uniform.

Syntax

Here are a couple of simple examples showing the template.

The basics

{{Basketball kit|
  pattern_b=_thinwhitestripes|
  body=CC0000|
  shorts=000066|
  title=Example
}}

Example

A basketball specific jersey template with patterned shorts

{{Basketball kit|

  body=3399FF|
  shorts=3399FF|
  pattern_s=_whitesides|
  title=[[Denver Nuggets]] away
}}

Denver Nuggets away

Guidelines

In essence, this template takes the football (soccer) kit template and superimposes a basketball jersey shape over that uniform to create a basketball uniform.

Editors can therefore use any of the patterns from the football kit template. There are also some basketball-specific jersey patterns (including jersey numbers, unusual in soccer).

Unlike the soccer kit, users also have the ability to add shorts templates (pattern_s).

Tips

When using colors with this template, make sure to use a full six-digit hex code and not a shorthand three-digit hex code. The latter will show up as black in Internet Explorer.
