How to Wash a Custom Liberty Flames Jersey With Stitched Lettering

To wash a custom Liberty Flames jersey, follow the care notes listed on the product page: machine wash, then tumble dry low. Around that, a few everyday habits protect the stitched name and number: turn the jersey inside out, wash it with similar colors, skip anything abrasive, and never iron directly over the lettering. Your personalized back took effort to get right, so a five-minute routine after each wear is worth it.

Know what you are washing

The custom piece this guide is built around is the Custom Liberty Flames Name, Number 2025 Vapor Limited listing. Its product notes describe:

• A 100% recycled polyester body
• Stitched tackle twill letters and numbers
• Embroidered applique and graphics
• Flatlock stitching and a satin twill jock tag
• A V-neck, short sleeves and a reinforced tagless collar
• Care: machine wash, tumble dry low

The tackle twill and the embroidered pieces are the parts you are protecting. They sit on top of the body fabric, so friction and heat are what wear them first.

Before the wash

1. Shake it out. Shake off crumbs and confetti from the tailgate before anything goes in the machine.
2. Spot-treat stains early. Dab, do not scrub, especially near the edges of the numbers.
3. Turn it inside out. This keeps the stitched letters from rubbing against other clothes and the drum.
4. Close nearby zippers and hooks. A jacket zipper in the same load can snag the twill edges.

In the machine

Machine wash is fine per the care notes. Choose a gentle or normal cycle with a mild detergent and wash the jersey with similar colors. A red or Red Alter jersey and a white one should not share a load the first few times. Skip bleach and fabric softener sheets that can leave residue on the lettering.

Smaller loads help. When the drum is packed, everything rubs against everything else, and that friction is exactly what you are trying to avoid.

Drying

The care notes say tumble dry low, so use the lowest heat setting your dryer offers and take the jersey out promptly. If you prefer, hang it on a wide plastic hanger to finish drying. Avoid high heat; it is the fastest way to stress stitched graphics.

Ironing and wrinkles

Most wrinkles fall out if you hang the jersey while it is still slightly warm. If you must press it, do so inside out on a low setting and keep the iron away from the name and number. A pressing cloth between the iron and the fabric adds a margin of safety.

Storing between games

• Hang it on a broad hanger so the shoulders keep their shape.
• Give it space in the closet so the lettering is not crushed against other clothes.
• Keep it out of direct sun if it hangs near a window.
• Fold flat for travel, with the back facing inward and a layer of tissue over the letters.

Off-season storage

Wash the jersey before it goes away for the summer; stains that sit for months are harder to lift later. Store it clean and fully dry in a cloth garment bag or on a closet shelf, not a sealed plastic bin in a damp basement.

The same routine for other Flames pieces

Everything above applies across the Liberty Flames jersey lineup, from the Fiesta Bowl Patch 2024 listings in red and white to word-style pieces like Hilltop #434 and Flames #2. Patch jerseys have one more embroidered area to protect, so inside-out washing matters even more there.

A quick checklist to keep on the laundry shelf: inside out, similar colors, gentle detergent, tumble dry low, hang promptly. Five steps, and the name you chose stays sharp for seasons of Flames football.
