Yes 
I didnt know how to change the colour of them in another way! I am using paint.net and the recolour tool only works with white background... Any tips how to do it right? |

i agree with luigi and i think you should put the logo on the sleves higher because in game it isn't clear to see |

The correct would be to create your own polka dot shapes. But since there's a lot of distortions in the shape jersey and you'd basically need to distort most of them manually so they look normal in game, perhaps you can "use" the polka dot shapes of another shirt, but make sure to credit the creator of that one  What I'd try to make it less pixelated is the magic wand tool. Additionally, you could try using this jersey which has no plis so the "recoloring" would go better.

Very Interesting.. Shame you didn't use the real pixel-style PCM.DAILY logo though. Your learning curve is very promising.
Your placement of the logo is abit weird, Cyanide is not really there much, it's put aside like a small sponsor. In this case though, I don't think that that is a bad thing.

I thought Cyanide doesn't need more space since it´s dominant on the back and on the sides
@jordynoel789 In game the logos on the sleeves are in the front so they are visible  |

Sure I will do them, With SPA you mean Spain right?
Should I take the logo out of the header? It might be pixelated if I try so...
EDIT: Would you also like the polka dots on the NCs

SPA is wrong, my fault, it should be ESP, for Espana.
As the header logo is white/black, you could go for the more aggressive approach and use contrast to sharpen the image. Make sure you size it up in increments, and size it down to apply anti-aliasing.
As for the NC's, sure, if you find a good way to do so.

Nice job. Although I'm pretty sure you can sharpen daily's logo by contrasting it more.
EDIT: I got it pretty sharp at -52 (-127 max) Brightness and 70 (100 max) contrast when using the brightness/contrast tool. Maybe the original sized one can do even better

Dont give up and keep practising... It aint a really good shirt in my opinion (especially the colour combination), but Im on a criticising mood lately, so dont take it all too serious. But if you keep practising, your shirts will surely improve quickly. Just something I have observed with other shirt makers when they try to force improvement, they get lazy, make shirts of verybad quality, put no effort into them or run into rookie mistakes, such as upside down logos, so always be on the outlook for that
