I'm am not a pro, but I know the basics (and maybe a bit more :tongue
of kit making for PES, so I can give you some advice.Making kits for PES it's not hard. Once you get used to the position of the logos and other things in the image file, it becomes easy. It's all practice. At the beginning, I needed a template to see the position of stripes and other designs and learn where were they positioned (for example, if I was doing an Adidas kit, I copied the adidas stripes from another kit). After my first 5-6 kits, I started getting the hang of it and it become much easier. Of course, there are kits which are harder than others. For example, those classic kits (specially from goalkeepers) can have very crazy patterns, and they are hard to get. But most of modern kits can be done easily.
People usually do the kits on a image editing software like Photoshop. I use paint.net, which is free and is very powerful, you can do lots of things with it (if you want to use it I can even recommend you some plugins that will help you making it even better and also easier to do certain stuff). Once you get used to its tools, such as working with layers and magic wand, it's not hard. It's much easier than photoshop, I highly recommend it if you are new on image editing.
There is also a website called PESMaster that has a very good kit creator tool. It is very useful when you are starting, however, there are some things you can't do with it, such as certain patterns and put sponsors in sleeves, shorts and the back of the shirt.
What I recommend you to do is:
- Get paint.net or other image editing software (there are others, such as GIMP, but I am not familiarized with them)
- Start doing kits with PESMaster Kit Creator tool. It has lots of options and templates. Once you do everything you can do with it, download the kit.
- Anything you can't do with PESMaster you'll have to do the in paint.net (or your editing software). I recommend you also get a template that shows the position of the shorts, socks, shirt, collar, etc. Angeltorero has made a very good kit template, and there's also a good one here in the forum.
To get the sponsors, you can just google the name of the company. If the image has a white background that you don't want, you can use magic wand tool from your editing software to remove it.
If you don't know the name of a sponsor (for example, if it is chinese or some other language you can't read or write), usually the website of the club has their sponsor list, and you can see if you find the sponsor there.
P.S. There is also a good program called blender where you could see the kit in 3d, but I believe there is no model of PES 2018 kit format yet. For now, I am using an old PES 2017 blender model just to check the position of some things in the shirt, but for collars and socks (which are different) I'll have to wait until there's a model or until I get PES 18 to see if I did them well.
Good Luck! If there's anything else I can help with, or if you need help with some specific thing tell me and I'll try to help.

Angeltorero's kit template is here, it can help you:
Blue is the shirt and sleeves, red is the shorts and white is the socks. That white rectangle below the shirt is the collar. The rectangle that says "PES 2018" at the top left corner is the captain armband. The rectangle at the top right corner that says "Angeltorero" it's not part of the kit, it's just the signature of the creator
I hope it helps.

The thing I do (just for personal use - not for upload as I'm using other people's work) is to find a kit that's close to the one I'm trying to create, and then try and alter it (often by combining parts of different kits using cut and paste) then you can paint out and copy in things such as badges and sponsors.
For example, start by trying something small like adding black shorts to a Manchester United kit file, and then building up from there. It's about building confidence and familiarity with the graphics package.
The handy thing about modern kits is that the major manufacturers seem to stick to the same templates - so for example if you found an England kit, you could colour out the sleeves to white and build it into a Spurs one with a few tweaks.

Wait you don't find this super extensive?
I'm pretty blown away with the options on the PES Master Kit Creator. This is how I make updated kits for my teams in year 2/3/4 of Master League.

I think pesmaster for kits is great except the options got the front of the shirts. I tried to make the cska moscow kit and i couldnt make the front of the kit. I had the rest perfect. Here is the picture if anyone can figure out if its possible to make. I couldnt figure out how to make the stripes.

CSKA Moscow won against my team tonight, but I will still be helping you :laugh:
Choose "Stripes" on base design and try those settings:
If you think the stripes are too thin change the width to 2, but I think 1 is fine

You can re-size them in any image editing software, but to make them 1024x1024 in game you don't need to. You can simply import them in small size in game and even if the file is in 2048x2048 the game will automatically re-size the kits to 1024x1024.
Is it possible for someone to edit this or no?
The front of the white kit is suppose to look like this.
Here's my advice. Download a white diamond from google images. Insert that as the shirt sponsor and resize as you see fit. It should perfectly fit into that area as you'd like.
