Caring For Your Jersey: Tips For Longevity

Your jersey is more than just a piece of clothing; it’s a symbol of your team spirit and dedication. To ensure that your jerseys remain in top condition for years to come, follow these essential care tips:

Machine Wash in Cold Water:

  • Gentle Cycle: Use a gentle cycle to minimize wear and tear on the fabric.
  • Cold Water Only: Hot water can cause colors to fade and fabrics to shrink.
  • Sort Carefully: Wash jerseys with similar colors to prevent color bleeding.
  • Detergent Choice: Use a mild detergent specifically designed for delicates or sportswear.

Turn Inside Out:

  • Protect Your Graphics: Turning your jersey inside out before washing helps protect the team logo and any other graphics from fading or peeling.

Avoid Harsh Chemicals:

  • Skip the Bleach: Bleach can damage the fabric and fade colors.
  • No Fabric Softener: Fabric softeners can reduce the moisture-wicking properties of performance jerseys.

Air Dry:

  • Hang to Dry: Air drying is the best way to preserve the shape and color of your jersey.
  • Avoid Direct Sunlight: Direct sunlight can cause fading, so make sure to hang your jersey in a shaded area.
  • Reshape: Gently reshape your jersey after washing to maintain its original shape.
  • Avoid High Heat: Even on a low setting, a dryer can damage the fabric and graphics.

Additional Considerations:

  • Ironing: If necessary, iron your jersey on a low setting and use a pressing cloth to protect the fabric and graphics.
  • Professional Cleaning: For heavily soiled or stained jerseys, consider professional dry cleaning.
  • Avoid Excessive Friction: Be mindful of rubbing your jersey against rough surfaces, as this can lead to pilling.

By following these guidelines, you can keep your jerseys looking their best and enjoying them for many years to come.

I received the jerseys right on time and the kids got to wear them on game day and they looked great.  Thank you for getting the order put together and making things go flawlessly for me.  It makes a lot of headaches go away.

I received the jerseys a couple of Fridays ago and I have appreciated working with you! The jerseys came out absolutely beautifully, exactly how I had expected, if not better. Challenger was extremely helpful, taking my last minute changes and requests, was friendly and informative and I would recommend  to anyone! We have some very happy kids!

At first I was a little skeptical about using a company that was not local to Flemingsburg, KY. We have used local companies for at least the last 10 years. We would like to thank your company and the hard work of the Challenger team in helping the Fleming County Youth Soccer program. Keep up the good work.
