Designed this jersey from my room in East London. On a tight budget with a single sample and no team, looking for someone local to model it for a quick street shoot.

I've been working on this first piece completely by myself, but I've hit a bit of a wall doing it alone. My budget is very low right now, and because I want the brand to look decent, I don't want to just post rushed bedroom selfies on the page.
I'm just a normal person trying to grow my brand, and I don't have a professional camera or anything—I'll just be taking normal phone camera shots. If anyone is in East London specifically and wants to link up for like 15 minutes near Stratford to model it while I take pictures, let me know.
Because this is literally the only sample I have right now, I can't afford to pay you and you won't be able to keep the jersey after we finish shooting. I know it sounds crazy, but if you just want some clean pictures for your biography or your social page, it works for both of us.
I’ve already made some changes to the design based on early feedback. I completely removed the 3D embroidered cross from the back sleeve so the graphics aren’t fighting for attention and the lines look clean .
Production is going to be capped at 30 units total on a pre-order model. Any feedback on the jersey is welcome. If you're interested in buying it when it drops, the website is live below and you can sign up to the waiting list.

Designed this jersey from my room. On a tight budget with a single sample and no team to help me model it properly yet, but I want to get the ball rolling. Thoughts on the design?

I've already decided to remove the cross from the back sleeve to clean up the profile and let the panels breathe.
Production is going to be capped at 30 units globally because I'm running this on a pre-order model. The site is currently password-locked while I sort the launch, but the waiting list is live if you want to check it out or lock a slot.

First sample back from my bedroom. No budget for a shoot, just raw floor shots. Honest thoughts?

Hi everyone, I'm just trying to start a clothing brand from my room and wanted to get some honest feedback on my first sample. I don't have the budget to do a professional photoshoot yet, so these are just some quick pictures I took with the jersey laid out on the floor.
It's a mesh football jersey made from 100% polyester, and it has these smoother, shiny panels on the sleeves and shoulders that feel like satin.
Here are the details on it so far:
Front: My brand name "Hillsaint" is in 3D embroidery across the chest.
Back Text: The text on the upper back is printed on using a DTF transfer.
Back Numbers: The "06" numbering on the back is raised up and textured, not a flat print.
Tag: The little tag on the lower hem on front and

Sleeves : Embroidered on cheetah print star patches and uk flag and on the back a raised embroidered cross an

back is s screen printed onto the mesh.
I already know there are a few things I want to tweak and change with the manufacturer before I do anything else, but I wanted to see what people think of the overall vibe and textures.
Any advice or honest thoughts are appreciated!
