I don't use Photoshop so I can only give you the most general advise. Doing uniform designs in layers gives you a lot of control & flexibility. If you're using layers, you just place a shading layer as one of your templates - fairly high up in the layers. The most important thing about using shading layers is to make use of adjusting the transparency of the layer. This determines how pronounced (dark) the shading is.
As you may have noticed from all the examples in this thread, the same shading template can have widely different degrees of darkness. Personally, I prefer softer shading to make the jerseys look more natural but many people like them quite dark - it is purely a matter of taste, so suit yourself.
Hope this will help. If you have specific questions, post them and I'm sure that someone will be able to help you. You can also check out the last 2 or 3 pages of this forum for additional ideas. It will keep you busy while you're waiting for OOTP 9. Good luck, and post your results (and questions).
