Community Concept: A new concept by @EAFCconcepts visualizes how kit changes could work in FC27, allowing players to customize their team's kits while adhering to licensing rules by keeping manufacturer and sponsor logos the same.
EA's Response: EA's FC Career Mode lead developer, Andreas Wilsdorf, acknowledged the community's desire for kit editing but cited licensing complexities, expressing hope for its potential inclusion in the future.
Console Player Limitations: While PC players can use external tools to design and import custom kits, console players lack such options, making an official in-game kit editor or retro kit catalog a high priority for the community.

A highly requested feature for EA Sports FC's Career Mode has been brought to life in a brilliant new concept by @EAFCconcepts, visualizing how kit changes could work in the upcoming FC27.

Kit Changes Community Concept & EA Developer Response

The EA FC community has long asked for the ability to change a club's kits at the end of every season to keep long-term Career Mode saves feeling fresh and realistic. The new concept showcases a menu where players could customize their team's kits for the new season. To navigate the licensing rules, the concept suggests a system where the manufacturer and sponsor logos must remain the same, but the player can freely change the underlying design, patterns, and accent colors.

Another proposed solution in the concept is the return of a classic kit catalog, allowing players to unlock and use a variety of official retro kits from a club's history for the new season.

Interestingly, this popular idea is actually on EA's radar. Recently, FC Career Mode lead developer Andreas Wilsdorf responded to a fan on X regarding the potential for kit editing. Wilsdorf stated that while it is on their wishlist, it is "not as easy with how licensing works and expectations around kits." However, he provided a glimmer of hope by adding that it is "definitely something I would love to see at one point in our game."

PC players can use the fantastic web-based FIFA Kit Creator to design and import their own bespoke kits, and/or download mods with different kits. However, console players are left entirely without options, making an official in-game kit editor or a retro kit catalog a massive priority for the community.
