Tips

Good to know

Sport cascades to position. Pick the sport first, then the position chips update to show only that sport's roles — each loading its own action and gear.

Team colours are trademark-safe. They're named by colour (e.g. “Black & Gold”), not by team name.

Quotes are optional. Add one for motivation-poster energy, or leave it off for a clean action shot.

No reference photo. Fully text/preset driven. Credit cost is the same as a standard generation.
