How to wash a football (soccer) jersey?

Posted at: 2014-10-08 
Just put it in the washing machine on a gentle cycle.

Chelsea Jesseys don't need washing,

..... they are like the Great Lesbie in "The Great Race".

You have to wash it by warm water and use bleach after wash

cold wash, rinse, dry slowly

Put it in a washer.

So I ordered a Chelsea jersey a week ago from the official Chelsea FC website and it was delivered to me today. I was just wondering if i'm able to wash my jersey in the washing machine like any other shirt. I'm afraid if the letters start peeling off. I know they peel off from fake jerseys, i'm not sure about real jerseys though.

Do I have to handwash it?

Thanks.
