A football jersey is made to be worn, but the fabric, the crest and any name and number need a little care. Follow these simple habits and your jersey will look great for many seasons.
Before washing
Turn the jersey inside out to protect the crest, the sponsors, the name and the number.
Check the care label: it always has the final word.
Wash it with similar colors and never with jeans or clothes with zippers.
In the washing machine
Use cold water, up to 30°C (86°F), on a gentle cycle.
Choose a mild detergent and skip bleach and fabric softener: softener can damage technical fabrics and make them breathe less.
Hand washing is even better for jerseys with a name and number.
Drying
Never use the dryer: high heat can peel prints and shrink the fabric.
Hang it on a hanger or lay it flat in the shade, away from direct sun, to keep the colors bright.
Ironing and storing
Most jerseys do not need ironing. If you must, use low heat with the jersey inside out and never iron over the crest, sponsors, name or number.
Keep it on a hanger or folded in a dry place.
With these habits, your jersey stays ready for every match day.
