i not bad
wich program do u use
some tips
jersey1: use a template like in the last 2 jerseys the blue around the neck sucks ( use a shape to color that
jersey 2 retty nice again the plis
jersey3:your logo's are pixelated this is probaly from coloring them (if you use gimp i advice to use the color changer wich can be found in the color section the tird icon)
jersey4 : nothing bad to say about it |

Thank you for the answer. 
I used paint.net for the jerseys.
I will change the neck in the first and the logos in the third jersey when I'm back at my PC!
One question: I don't understand why the plis is needed, because the game adds it automatically? |

Just to make it look better outside of the game 
And to get the best result you should use the official Cyanide plis:

Ok! From now on I will!
One last question: Is it right to work with transparent colours? So you can see the plis? Because its seems a little bit light if I am trying that... |

Not sure what you mean with transparent colors, but well, usually you can't see the plis much well in darker colors but that isn't a problem ingame. As you said, the shirts look better in game with no plis at all since the game automatically adds a plis.
On the shirts, they're not bad for first tries One thing I'd say is you could lower the size of the logos on the sides, they are a bit too big to look good in the game. Especially the "top" area of the side logos, the game distorts this part a lot, so keeping the logos on the side outside that "area" does make them look better in game 
You're off to a good start, so keep on practicing, that's the best way to get better in shirtmaking. Also make sure to check how your shirts look in game with the Cyclist Viewer, helps a lot to correct mistakes and fix details

I personally have a .ctc file in documents with the settings set to correctly display c01 (c00 for career, and I don't use the rest.). You can open this file and then immediately see how your shirt looks.
I always look on Cyclist Viewer for every single logo. Some even multiple times. That way you can be sure it doesn't stretch.
Oh and another tip. May I recommend my template pack in the graphics section? It can be found through the link below and contains several files for easy making of basic national jerseys, and race leader jerseys of the Grand Tours. It also contains a quick starter jersey with the plis and a white background set up and ready to go!
https://pcmdaily.com/forum/viewthread....d_id=27808
Also, I suggest you use GIMP instead. gimp allows e use of the anchor tool, which allows you to accurately select and paint along the lines of the plis, and you should always create the jerseys while having the plis above it anyway to create a better result.

No you don't really. As Maddrengen said, it's only for the .tga file to look better, but in fact shirts with plis look slightly worse in game imo.

Ok thank you for the answers! 
To be able to see the plis I used in the upper layers transparent colours... I don't know is there another option to be able to see the plis?
I will look at the templates when I'm on my PC! |

Well then I think I am open for requests! Of anyone of you needs a Jersey just post sponsors and colours in which you'd like to have your shirt. I will try my best. Since I am still a beginner it doesnt matter for me if you're not using my jerseys that I made for you, its just about gaining experience for me!  |

The quality of logos is good, but polka dots not so much (they look a bit pixelated)... did you by any chance use the paint bucket tool on the TdF polka dot shirt?
