There are too many options of graphics addons to Football Manager. Kits, faces, logos, backgrounds or another misc graphics like hairpacks or stadium pics. I put together something from each, I use myself.
I know many people who don’t use graphics addons but I think most of us use at least custom logos or kits. Many of you make your own kits and you share them in your blog posts or on Twitter.
Same as last year I put together some graphics addons what I like and use in the game.
Faces
I use Cut Out Player Faces Meagapack for many years. It’s the biggest collection of Football Manager Player Faces available. All players are available in the default cut-out style. When you download our Football Manager Facepack, you’ll receive well over 176,736 player faces to spice up your copy of Football Manager.
There are also iconfaces in the pack so you will have small cut-out faces in pop windows or in some menu when you click with your right mouse button on the player(s).

Logos
My most favorite logo pack is the Footbe logos. This pack was developed by Stam from FM Scout. 31 leagues are fully covered, including clubs that used to be in those leagues since 2011.
The most unique and great looking logo style ever. Created for footbe.net by Stam. Expanded for Football Manager and exclusively available on fmscout.com.

Possibly the most used megapack is Metallic Logos from Sortioutsi. The pack contains 251,806 images with the latest release from 28th October 2016.
Our Football Manager Metallic Logos Pack contains over 26,000 Club logos, over 1000 Competition logos and every National Logo, Continental Logo and Flag in the game. It’s kept regularly up to date to ensure you always have best and latest Logos to make Football Manager even more attractive.

Kits
Many of you use “SS Kits”. I’m the same but now I use also the great “FC’12” style. They are developed by FM Slovakia, Serbian FM & other authors within Allstar Kitmakers.

Smart Shirt Designer 2
If you followed my FM16 save with Akademisk Boldklub you know I made custom kits before almost every season. As I don’t have Photoshop and templates not work properly with Gimp I use Smart Shirt Designer.
It’s very useful tool and you can create your own kits in many many variations thanks to it. You can use all default templates itself or you can combine some of them in advance creator. You can use templates for shirt, collar and brand.
You can also add your own logo or club badge and move it around the shirt.

Trophies
As there are only default pictures of trophies in the game you probably will like this pack of trophies images from all around the world. Your history screen in the game will be much nicer with it.

Stadium Superpack
This file does not display stadium images as background but only in the club or national team information page. The folder needs to be placed in Documents > Sports Interactive > Football Manager 2017 > graphics.
With permission from geordie1981, who started this pack originally, I’m uploading in one file the complete collection of stadium images so far, also including a large number of images which I’ve collected, created and added myself. kizar and Deano1903 also produced a good percentage of the images which are included in this pack. I have added stadium images from over 50 countries and over 100 divisions to bring the total image count to 5,524.
You will have these pictures at your home page on the left behind the club logos.

Gyazo.com
I was aked many times during the recent weeks how I make and upload GIF videos on Twitter. So I decided I will put it there as well.
For GIF I use gyazo.com. If you download it you can pin shortcuts for GIF and Image capture to your taskbar. Then you only click on the icon and you can capture screen or gif
And if you sign up you can also have on-line library with your captured screens and gifs so you can go back to history what you took. You can share the gif through from gyazo.com with link or you can download it as a image and share it straight on Twitter. You can also download the gif as a .mp4 file.
Thanks to you all who make the perfect content for the Football Manager Community, @KeysiRensie.
When the Full version will be released I will check the new stuff like Match In-Between Highlights or Club/Player Profile Panels, I will add them to the list.
