Can this be done?

I came up with this idea today. I don't know if someone has already been asking or thinking about this, but here we go...

We've found a way to add shoes. Tons of shoes. But has anyone tried to add accessories? Such as bands and sleeves?
I know we add them as a part of skin files, but could it be possible to add different kinds of bands (for example a wristband with a NBA logo) to the edit player -section. Wouldn't it be kind of same thing like adding shoes?

A practical example could be the calf sleeves. We all know that the long sleeves are, for unidentified reasons, uneven (the left being shorter than the right I mean). Can we edit these regular accessories? Can we replace them with our own?

I think it would be really nice to have a larger variety of accessories, such as armsleeves with different lengths, or bands with player's number etc. It would definitely take some weight off of patchers like me

This said, is there someone who can answer to these questions? Someone who maybe has tried to do this before.

i saw some socks and stuff in plrdetails.fsh
you have to dump using fshline though..havent tried editing them yet
so not sure if it'll work

I haven't been able to successfully repack that file. The images are indexed bmp's and it can be exported with fshline using the -nfs option or using nfshtool itself. Once you repack the file, though, the game crashes. I tried this alot during 07, but it didn't work. The only way to add custom accessories right now is to add them to a tattoo file and assign it to a player, of course the player wear the same color accessories for every jersey.
