was in the club shop in town yesterday and overheard a customer sayin that the home shirt washes really badly to one of the shop assistants and that she had to bring it back. The assistant then said we have had a few returned like that.

has anyone had to return their shirts after washing them as i havent worn or washed mine as yet and was wondering if it was worth doing this??

Definatly worth washing if you want to wear it more than once, yup.



IIRC leeds had a similar problem last year.

just giving it, its 1st wash will update as to wash condition

That is the problem with cotton, it is notourious for fading as well, they could also shrink if not washed and dryed with care.
I tried one on the other week, my concern was how thick they were, I think I will go for the away shirt.

It's all very exciting for a Monday bit like an on line controlled experiment

Well done Can't wait for the results!!

Could be worse,they could turn out pink.

well i try to please

well its been washed on a 30 mins wash at 30.oc looks ok so far, doesn't appear to be any colour running, gonna leave it to dry naturally as per the insructions.

updates to follow...

Are you wearing a white lab coat ?

It'll end up grey if he washes it with his Hull shirt

Its just like Fringe!!!

damn forgot about my lab coat......
but did check the ph level of the water seen as i live in east hull and the results came back very acidic





only joking

Spoonful of salt, dash of pepper and a bit of oregano in the first wash cycle does the trick

Then slowly bake on gas mark 3 for 3 hours , turning once mid way

like it

Place on back of an average Hull fan and voila you have a pudding...

thought we were cabbages make ur mind up

These fooking Hull shirts!!!

the problem might be that people have forgotten how to look after heavy cotton shirts, it's been a while since we've had a replica kit like that.

As Hutchie said (in jest, but he is right) a cup full of salt in the wash will fix the colour, and let it dry naturally.

When I eventually get ours they also wont get washed with any detergetnt first time around.

Had mine in the wash a few times with no problems !

Yours is detatchable?

What about the shirt?

Ha ha, also had it in the spin dryer but ill save that story for another day !

Trouble there is not many clothes go on that cycle, I suspect many will place with colours at 40c...bit hard work all that

Any updates on the research project?

What washing powder would you recommend?.

You big bunch of girls, men talking about washing clothes what has this world come to.

I just leave it in the capable hands of the wife like i always do and if it goes wrong ill just do a cookie on her
