November 5, 200520 yr I got my first replica jersey. and i was wondering what some tips are on washing them? Thanks.
November 5, 200520 yr Don't get it dirty!! Only kidding. If you get stains on it, treat them individually before you wash the jersey. If the stain is deep or tough to get out, use a soft to medium bristle brush to help scrub the stain out. Wash normally and let hang dry. Do not put them in a dryer.
November 5, 200520 yr Nice topic Iwin...i would like some tips as well...i have the white jersey and its a pain to get any stain out of that jersey
November 6, 200520 yr I just throw mine in with the normal wash (sleeveless jersey with vest, actual jersey goes in the permanent press, shirt goes in with the dark cottons).
November 7, 200520 yr I have a replica bears jersey, I wash it inside out on warm, then hang it up and let it dry on it's own.
November 7, 200520 yr Never machine wash a jersey. As someone said jokingly, don't get it dirty, that's true. Secondly, dry clean only.
November 7, 200520 yr dry clean. Bought a WS patch that I'm going to have sewn onto my Buehrle jersey. Taking it to the taylor, of course. Might as well have them dry clean it as well.

Is there a 'WS Champs' patch?..or just the 'WS05'?

November 11, 200520 yr My experience with replicas is the fabric they're made from doesn't hold up to stains, wear and tear, or washing like the authentics do. I've had a few replica baseball and hockey jerseys over the years by different manufacturers and they've all been disappointing. None of them were the current makes by Majestic, though, so YMMV. If you're worried about color bleeding or fading, machine wash cold and then hang dry. I've got an authentic Blackhawks white jersey back when CCM still made them (and Roenick was wearing the 'A') that I machine wash normal cycle and usually hang dry, never any problems. It's close to 10 years old and no fraying or pilling to speak of. I'm far from certain but I don't know if the pros get their stuff dry-cleaned. Then again, since most players have 4-5 uniform sets, they may be able to afford the time turnaround. Edited November 11, 200520 yr by Drew
