A few things that i couldn't do:
*don't know how to remove the lines next to the pants
*don't know how to do shadows
*don't know how to make stitching

Once ive dont that, i will make a footy and soccer/rugby one
Nice start! there's a few things I'd change personally (I'm not a pants tucked in kinda guy) but overall it is looking good. Not sure what you mean by removing the lines on the pants, I'm happy to have a look at it if you send me the file. I can also show you how I set up the shadows and stitching if you'd like but it's pretty similar to this tutorial:

Alright so I made this with illustrator. I intended to show a flattened jumper. How does it look? Wondering if there are any things that need fixing before i try my hand at shorts and socks. I haven't used strokes and I'm unsure about whether I will add stitching (is that going to be necessary?) Tips and critique welcome. thanks

If you're not using strokes then you'll probably need stitching to distinguish the collar/cuffs from the base when they're the same colour. Otherwise there isn't much to change except maybe the inner back collar.

Yes that looks much better.


The inner collar on the front side.
I guess I can see that, but it would be far down my list of priorities for the template. atlaser, look at some other successful flat templates on here I'll link to a couple I like just so you can see what is possible with one, if I were you, I'd be looking at creating a distinctive shape (looks a bit too much like mero's template at the moment and so it lacks some individuality) and give it some stitching!
A few of examples of well crafted flat templates:

https://www.bigfooty.com/forum/threads/completely-randomic-football-league.1140845/
(basketball, but still) https://www.bigfooty.com/forum/threads/nbl-adidas.1154106/
 
Thanks I will try and see if I can add some stitching. I realise that it isn't particularly unique, but that isn't my main goal with this - I just wanted to produce a similar shape to what I have worn myself and what I think is functional and looks good.
 
Just finished Adidas on my new template, took about 3 hours haha. Hopefully this template isn't too big for peoples screens. I have also had to turn the quality down a fair bit for it to be under 1M so it can be uploaded to big footy. What do you guys think? (Apart from the cuffs being to small because I'm already trying to fix that.)

Looks good. As for resolution+file size, as it's a nice flat template, I'd be exporting it as a PNG for a smaller file size and sharper quality. I recommend saving this in case you don't know which file type to use.

Also the resolution doesn't need to be that big. At most it should only really be half the resolution you've uploaded it at here.
