Ever wanted to design a football kit so crazy it’d make even the 90’s Premier League jealous? If you’re a sports-loving parent like me, you’ll love this easy, fun AI football kit designer activity . Grab your kids, fire up an AI image tool, and let’s make some memories (and a few questionable kit choices) together.
Why AI Kit Design Is the Ultimate Family Activity
What Makes It Fun for Parents
- Bonding time that feels more like play than parenting.
- A chance to share your love of football in a fresh, creative way.
- Zero mess—unless you count digital glitter.
The Magic of Mixing Football and Tech
- Kids get to see how technology and sport can work together.
- No need for a design degree, just imagination and a few clicks.
Step-by-Step: Create Your Own AI Football Kit with the Kids
Step 1 – Pick Your Club & Theme (No Endless Faffing)
Sit everyone down. Decide:
- Club: real or made-up
- Kit type: home, away, third, or goalkeeper
- Theme: space, lightning, dragons, 90s retro, whatever gets the giggles Lock it in. No going back and forth for hours!
Step 2 – Get the Kids’ Brief (Let Their Imagination Run Wild)
Ask each child:
- Main colour?
- Secondary colour?
- Badge idea (dragon, robot, castle)?
- Pattern (stripes, lightning bolts, pixels)?
- One must-have (glow-in-the-dark, gold trim)? Write it all down. That’s your AI brief.
Step 3 – Plug It Into an AI Image Tool (Easy Prompts for Parents)
Use tools like ChatGPT or Midjourney. Here’s a copy-paste prompt:
Create a high-quality concept image of a modern football kit.
Team: [TEAM_NAME]
Nickname: [NICKNAME]
Competition: [LEVEL].
Design brief:
Main colour: [PRIMARY], Secondary: [SECONDARY],
Pattern: [PATTERN], Theme: [THEME],
Badge: [BADGE],
Extra: [DETAIL].
Studio lighting, 16:9. Step 4 – Tweak, Laugh, and Vote for a Winner
Show off the designs. Ask:
- What’s one thing you love?
- What would you change? Tweak the prompt once or twice—then vote for best home, away, and craziest kit!
Step 5 – Make It “Real”: Share, Print, or Show Off!
- Set as phone wallpaper
- Print it for the fridge or bedroom door
- Share on your family WhatsApp or tag @cliffinkent on socials
Top Tips for a Smooth AI Kit Design Session
Keeping It Simple (and Sane)

- Don’t let kit debates drag on—manager’s decision is final!
Encouraging Creativity Without Meltdowns
- Celebrate wild ideas (rainbow unicorns? Go for it!).
- Remind everyone: there are no wrong answers.
