I know a lot of people have had a serious dislike for the 3D kits showing on the team info screen. Well there is an easy way to fix that (that doesn't involve deleting them or anything like that). It'll also display 2D kits for teams with a license within the game.
1. Find your user data folder. By default this is in the following place:
Win Vista: C:\Users\<username>\Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2009\ Win 2000/XP: C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\My Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2009\ Win 98/ME: C:\My Documents\Sports Interactive\Football Manager 2009\ Mac OS X: /Users/<username>/Documents/Sports Interactive/Football Manager 2009/
2. Create a folder called 'panels' in your user data folder.
3.

4. Place 'kit panel.xml' in the 'panels' folder.
Launch Football Manager 2009.
When loaded go straight into game preferences from the intro screen.
Click on 'Display and Sound' on the tree menu.
Make sure that you tick the check box on the page called 'Always Reload Skin on Confirm' and un-tick then box saying 'Use Skin Cache'.
Now press confirm on the tree menu.
There should be a box that pops up saying 'loading image data for the new skin'.
Once this is done 3D kits should be banished from the team info screen.
You may want to quit the game and reload it - just to be sure.
You can change the ticked and un-ticked boxes back to what they were before.
Remenber : this only makes that kits show in TEAM INFO PANEL...so far we still don't know how to make them show in MATCHE SCREEN
