Setup, Compatibility & Care
To keep your Umbro retro shirt in top condition, follow these care instructions:
- Washing: Turn the shirt inside out before machine washing to protect the front logo and the back number 8 print.
- Temperature: Wash on a cool setting (30°C or lower) to prevent fabric shrinkage or print cracking.
- Drying: Avoid tumble drying; hang the shirt to dry naturally in a shaded area to maintain color vibrancy.
- Ironing: If necessary, iron on the lowest heat setting and always iron on the reverse side, ensuring you do not apply direct heat to the printed number.
