I know it's sacreligious to wash my jersey, especially since we haven't lost whenever I wore it, but I have to admit, the white starting to look a tad bit grey.
So, I need the advice of those who've had their jerseys for a long time. What's the best method of washing these things? Quick cold cycle wash and a brief drying?
Thanks for your help.
well i just throw mine in with the normal laundry...
I Dryel mine.
Umm. . . .the tag on my game worn reads:
"MACHINE WASH COLD. DO NOT BLEACH. HANG TO DRY OR TUMBLE DRY LOW. DO NOT IRON."
There's nothing special about a jersey. Just wash it. Hang it up to dry though.
And wait ten days or so before doing anything. :-D
Not even so positive about the hang dry - I've always done cold machine wash and most gentle setting in the dryer, and never had anything approaching a problem with that.
on the other hand. . .I have never washed mine:-P
Any ideas for sharpie-autographed ones? Dry Cleaning? My jersey has gone to a few too many games without being washed.... Though I am thinking of retiring it at the end of the season. Anyone willing to help me out in getting a poor Bostonian a game-worn?

i am of the philosophy that u dont wear an autographed jersey. if it means enough to u that u wouldnt want it to get washed off... then dont wear it - but that is just me :-) of course mine isnt autographed and i dont know what i would do with an $85+ jersey that was autographed if i didnt wear it..where is Joe to autograph my jersey so i have to decide ;-)
Has anyone had problems with washing a jersey that has signatures with a permanent marker (i.e. a Sharpe)?
[When I'm not wearing mine, I hang it up on the wall (with a piece of cardboard in it to maintain some form) from a pipe that runs across the ceiling]
I always just dry-cleaned mine out of fear of it turning into Carnellian Red and Pink... ::yark::
I've never washed my signed jersey. I have been told by dry cleaners that it shouldn't be a problem. Of course, washing it would involve me trusting them and I haven't gotten up the courage to do that yet....

I have a few jerseys and wash them often.
I just put them inside out and wash warm with regular detergent and hang dry.
If it's really stinky use a box of baking soda along w/ the detergent.
I have two sweaters with autos and they only have minimal fade, one on the #'s the other on the mesh. To me the auto's are special but a clean jersey is more important....
Don't be paranoid, all the gamer's are washed regularly by the training staff..
