Why Proper Care Matters

• Extends fabric life by reducing fiber damage from heat, friction, and harsh chemicals.

• Preserves colors and prints so logos, names, and numbers do not crack, peel, or fade prematurely.

• Protects player comfort and hygiene by removing sweat, bacteria, and odor without degrading performance fabrics.

Pre-game and Post-game Habits

• Before first wear, pre-wash new uniforms separately in cold water to remove residual dyes and manufacturing chemicals and help set colors.

• After games, avoid leaving damp uniforms balled up in bags, and instead hang them to air out to prevent mildew, odor buildup, and color bleeding.

• Treat visible stains (blood, grass, mud, sports drinks) as soon as possible with cold water rinse and a mild stain remover, avoiding harsh scrubbing that can damage prints.
