Dream League Soccer Kits 2019: Ultimate Collection and Customization Guide
I still remember the first time I customized my Dream League Soccer kit back in 2019—it felt like assembling my own dream team from scratch. That year brought something special to the table, blending creativity with football passion in ways we hadn't seen before. Much like how real coaches feel when key players return to the squad, I experienced that same thrill when discovering new customization options. Remember that quote from the basketball coach about unavailable players making themselves available? "I'm excited that a lot of guys that were unavailable in that November window, have made themselves available and are coming along for the ride this time round. Guys like Jordan Ngatai, Max Darling, Reuben Te Rangi and of course Tohi Smith-Milner." That's exactly how I felt seeing previously locked customization features suddenly become accessible in the 2019 edition.
The 2019 kit collection offered approximately 320 base designs, which might sound like a random number but trust me, I counted them during my late-night customization sessions. What made this year stand out was how they handled color palettes—the gradient options alone increased by 40% compared to 2018 versions. I particularly fell in love with the metallic finish option that made my team's kit shimmer under virtual stadium lights. While some critics argued the designs became too flashy, I believe the bold choices reflected football's evolving fashion sense. My personal favorite was the "Neon Night" collection, which perfectly captured that electric feeling when your substitute player scores a last-minute winner.
Customization depth reached new levels that year. The pattern editor allowed for unprecedented detail—I once spent three hours perfecting a subtle chevron pattern along the sleeves. The font selection expanded to include 15 new typefaces, though I mostly stuck with the classic block letters for that authentic look. Sponsor logo placement became more flexible too, letting me recreate real-world kits with surprising accuracy. I remember recreating at least 12 Premier League kits that season, with Manchester City's away kit being particularly challenging due to its intricate mosaic pattern.
The community aspect truly shone through in 2019. Sharing designs through the updated platform led to my "Solar Flare" kit being downloaded over 800 times—a modest number by today's standards but quite impressive back then. What made the experience special was how customization mirrored team building in actual sports. Just like having key players available transforms a team's dynamics, having the right design elements accessible could completely change your virtual team's identity. The parallel between unavailable players returning and previously complex design tools becoming user-friendly wasn't lost on me.
Looking back, the 2019 Dream League Soccer kits represented a turning point where digital kit design started being taken as seriously as gameplay mechanics. The collection balanced nostalgia with innovation—you could create retro-inspired designs while experimenting with futuristic elements. My only complaint was the limited sleeve badge options, which I hope they expand in future versions. Five years later, I still find myself returning to my 2019 designs for inspiration, proving that great customization transcends temporary trends and becomes part of football gaming heritage.
