Hang up new jerseys right after first wash

Since I'm just a boneheaded guy, this probably doesn't apply to anyone else... I washed both of my new jerseys and shorts together (cold) - New clothes look great, btw, thanks to MIchael and Lou - but went to bed leaving them in a lump in the washing machine. Hanging them up this morning, I noticed that the light blue on the shoulders  bled in a couple of spots, only because this stuff was lying together wet for about 8 hrs. I immediately rubbed in some Soil Love (my favorite spot remover), rinsed out, and all is perfect.

So this is just a note to take care with your first wash to get those jerseys hung up right away. I presume this won't even be an issue on subsequent washes.
