A template in this context is simply a set of specific features that can be replicated on a shirt for different teams in different colour combinations. Those features could include collar styles, shadow patterns, trim detail or specific motifs among others. Following that definition, a template may provide the common elements of a home and away shirt worn by a single team. It may only exist in two different versions, but it's still a template.
Things get more complicated when one looks at the more complicated (and usually modern) designs. Alas, there are no written records that define a specific template as having fixed features. It's therefore very difficult to classify some templates, particularly if they have customisable elements such as the collar or shadow pattern. What this project aims to do, then, is to reasonably suggest what each template is or isn't. In many cases, this is open to interpretation and what one person thinks is a template may differ to the views of another. Hopefully the judgement provided in this countdown isn't too controversial...
