Frequently Asked Questions
How should I care for my new Fighting Illini souvenir tee to keep the graphic looking fresh?
To maintain the vibrant colors and crisp details of the player collage, we highly recommend washing the garment inside out in cold water. Tumble dry on a low heat setting or hang it to dry, and never iron directly over the printed design.
