NOVEMBER/DECEMBER
The holidays are an exciting fast paced time for everyone! Many of our customers want their apparel ready to go for the shopping and gift giving season. We completely understand this, and we will do our best to accommodate. Starting in November the turnaround time is three weeks (keep in mind that inclement weather can cause shipping delays). We ask that you please get orders in as early as possible.
WASHING INSTRUCTIONS
We recommend to all of our customers, in order to keep the design quality and color long lasting, they wash their garment inside out, on a cold water or delicate wash setting. When drying the garment, it is preferable to hang/line dry, however if placing in the dryer, we recommend to keep the garment inside out and tumble dry on the lowest heat setting possible. Please avoid using liquid fabric softener when washing any garment with heat applied vinyl (personalized name or player number). It will deteriorate the adhesive over time causing your name or number to peel.
