Jersey Care Guide

Fan Jersey Guide · Care

A jersey can last for years if you treat the print and crest properly. The rules are simple: cold, inside out, gentle — and never iron the numbers.

Washing

• Turn the jersey inside out before washing.
• Use cold water (30°C / 86°F or below) on a gentle cycle.
• Wash with similar colours; don't overload the machine.
• Use a mild detergent — no bleach, no fabric softener on printed areas.
• Wash new jerseys separately the first time.

Drying

• Hang to dry if you can — it's the gentlest option.
• If you tumble dry, use the lowest heat setting and remove promptly.
• Never tumble dry hot: heat is what lifts prints and shrinks fabric.
• Don't wring the jersey to remove water.

Ironing and stains

• Never iron directly on the name, number or crest. If you must iron, turn the jersey inside out, use low heat, and place a cloth between the iron and the fabric.
• Treat stains promptly by dabbing with cold water and mild detergent — don't scrub the print.
• Avoid dry cleaning; the solvents can damage printed detailing.

Storing

• Hang jerseys on a padded or wide hanger to protect the shoulders.
• If you fold them, fold around the print rather than across it.
• Store away from direct sunlight, which fades colours over time.
• Keep them in a cool, dry place — not sealed in plastic for long periods.

Custom and autographed jerseys

For custom name & number jerseys, follow the same rules and be extra careful with heat around the print. If a jersey is autographed, don't machine wash it at all — spot clean gently and keep it out of direct sunlight.
