Warning for race team shirt owners

We have has a case of a back print on one of the race team shirts breaking down, can I please ask that you lightly hand wash your shirts & DO Not tumble dry, Do Not wash in a machine & Do Not Iron over the print!
It is not common practice to print on shirts like this & most you will find are embroidered but that would have been cost prohibitive so we chose the print option.
Please be gentle with your shirts & they will last a long time. Remember light hand wash is the important bit.
Oh & it will be good to see a heap of KSRC folks at the FX round at Eastern Creek cheering for our boys this weekend wearing the new crew shirts (or old ones if you got em), that's what they were mainly made for so come on out & support our team

Best bet is to iron over the cracked area with grease proof baking paper to re set the ink, sorta like a transfer.....
Seems these shirts have a high content of starch & this is where the problem lies, but the weird thing is that its only the backs that are doing this.
