I had my team practicing in old white game jerseys. Very dumb mistake on my part. Lesson learned. They are probably 3 cycles removed, so like 12-15 years old. I had two players, brothers, that don't have a washer and dryer at their house. So their jerseys got absurdly dirty. They didn't wash them for about 5 weeks and now they are covered in black stains all over. I'd like to rescue them if it's possible. At this point I thinking bleach just because they're already ruined, so why not. Anybody have any experience cleaning these or getting out these types of stains.
P.S. - We have since moved over to "practice" style jersey's that are dark and I will always have my teams in those style jerseys from now out.

What are you trying to "save" them for?
If they were junk enough to use for practice, why put any effort into them?

What are you trying to "save" them for? If they were junk enough to use for practice, why put any effort into them? Mainly because I now have three sets of home and away. I'd like to keep them IF down the I'm able to build this program to 3-Levels. Plus, I didn't say they were junk. |

In most places, in my experience, if you're using former game stuff for practice, it means you're one step away from throwing it away anyway. So, you're going to put kids in 20 year old jerseys for games? Why not buy some cheap, one step above practice jersey stuff for freshman games? For as important as looking good is to most kids, I don't know that they want to wear some unis from the George W Bush administration for games. |

For as important as looking good is to most kids, I don't know that they want to wear some unis from the George W Bush administration for games. Because our school had minimal budget for football. It usually will get used to replace older helmets. Fundraising goes towards feeding the kids, helmet stickers, replacing equipment like girdles, knee pads. Our budget is stretched so saving them is option number one. If I can't, then so be it. I don't feel it is necessary to get into a conversation as to why I'm trying to save them. Doesn't matter why. IF you a remedy for cleaning them, then I'm all ears. If not, then just keep it pushing. |

Soak in cold water and oxyclean. Then go to car wash and power spray. Repeat till you like it.
