They set the minimum label details for most team apparel sold here. For most team orders, the first thing to check is the textile fiber rule.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"textile-fiber-rule-for-jerseys-shorts-and-warmups\" tabindex=\"-1\">Textile Fiber Rule for Jerseys, Shorts, and Warmups<\/h3>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ftc.gov\/legal-library\/browse\/statutes\/textile-fiber-products-identification-act\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" style=\"display: inline;\">Textile Products Identification Act<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecfr.gov\/current\/title-16\/chapter-I\/subchapter-C\/part-303\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" style=\"display: inline;\">16 CFR Part 303<\/a> apply to most jerseys, shorts, warmups, and similar apparel. Covered garments need a label that shows <strong>fiber content, country of origin, and the identity of the manufacturer, importer, or marketer<\/strong>. <\/p>\n<p>Fiber content has to use <strong>generic fiber names in English<\/strong>, not brand names. Fibers that make up 5% or more by weight must be listed on their own in descending order, and the percentages must total 100%. Fibers under 5% usually fall under <em>other fiber(s)<\/em>, unless they serve a clear function, like spandex for stretch. <\/p>\n<p>A compliant label for a poly-spandex jersey might read: <em>Fiber content: 90% Polyester, 10% Spandex. Made in Mexico. RN 123456.<\/em> The country of origin must appear clearly and prominently in English. For jerseys and other garments with a neck, that usually means the inside center of the neck. <\/p>\n<h3 id=\"wool-labeling-rules-for-wool-blend-team-items\" tabindex=\"-1\">Wool Labeling Rules for Wool-Blend Team Items<\/h3>\n<p>Wool items follow a separate set of rules, so they need their own check. Any amount of wool triggers the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ftc.gov\/legal-library\/browse\/rules\/wool-products-labeling-act-text\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" style=\"display: inline;\">Wool Products Labeling Act<\/a> and Rules (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecfr.gov\/current\/title-16\/chapter-I\/subchapter-C\/part-300\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" style=\"display: inline;\">16 CFR Part 300<\/a>), including wool-blend socks, beanies, and cold-weather layers. There\u2019s no small-amount exception here. Even a little wool still has to be disclosed. <\/p>\n<p>Wool labels also must show the maximum percentage of non-fibrous matter, if any is present. In practice, wool-blend team items can often meet both rule sets with one label that includes fiber content, origin, and the company identity or RN\/WPL number. <\/p>\n<p>A compliant wool-blend sock label might read: <em>Fiber content: 70% Wool, 25% Nylon, 5% Spandex. Max non-fibrous content: 2%. Made in U.S.A. RN 654321.<\/em> <\/p>\n<h3 id=\"care-labeling-rule-for-washable-performance-apparel\" tabindex=\"-1\">Care Labeling Rule for Washable Performance Apparel<\/h3>\n<p>After fiber and origin, care instructions are the next big label item for washable uniforms. The Care Labeling Rule (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ecfr.gov\/current\/title-16\/chapter-I\/subchapter-D\/part-423\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" style=\"display: inline;\">16 CFR Part 423<\/a>) requires most team apparel to carry a <strong>permanent care label<\/strong> that stays legible for the useful life of the garment. The label must cover washing or dry cleaning, bleaching, drying, ironing, and professional cleaning when that applies. <\/p>\n<p>For moisture-wicking jerseys and sublimated uniforms that get washed over and over during a season, the care instructions should match how the fabric and decoration hold up in actual use. For example: <em>machine wash cold, gentle cycle; tumble dry low; do not bleach; do not iron directly on print.<\/em> Use plain English or recognized symbols, and base the instructions on testing, not guesswork. <\/p>\n<h2 id=\"what-must-appear-on-a-team-apparel-label\" tabindex=\"-1\" class=\"sb h2-sbb-cls\">What Must Appear on a Team Apparel Label<\/h2>\n<h3 id=\"fiber-content-country-of-origin-and-company-identity\" tabindex=\"-1\">Fiber Content, Country of Origin, and Company Identity<\/h3>\n<p>Once you&#8217;ve confirmed the rule set, <strong>check the exact label copy before production<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Every covered team garment needs these details on a permanent label: fiber content, country of origin, and the identity of the company in charge. Leave out even one, and the label is noncompliant. Company identity can be the full legal business name, such as <strong>&quot;Wooter Apparel LLC,&quot;<\/strong> or an FTC-issued Registered Identification Number (<strong>RN<\/strong>).<\/p>\n<p>Before giving final approval, look for these four items:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Fiber content<\/li>\n<li>Country of origin<\/li>\n<li>Company identity<\/li>\n<li>Care instructions<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 id=\"care-instructions-that-match-real-uniform-use\" tabindex=\"-1\">Care Instructions That Match Real Uniform Use<\/h3>\n<p>Care instructions are part of the label. They aren&#8217;t something to tack on at the end.<\/p>\n<p>The care label needs to match how the garment is built and decorated. For a sublimated polyester jersey that&#8217;s washed after every game, a compliant label might read: <em>Machine wash cold (up to 86\u00b0F) with like colors. Do not bleach. Tumble dry low. Do not iron decoration.<\/em> Compression gear like leggings and undershirts should call for cold washing and low heat or line drying, since high heat wears down stretch over time. And for warmup hoodies or joggers made from a cotton-poly blend, the label should still say <em>&quot;Do not iron decoration&quot;<\/em> if there&#8217;s any screen-printed or heat-applied graphic.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s the rule in plain English: <strong>care instructions must match how the fabric and decoration actually hold up<\/strong>. If a garment can&#8217;t handle bleach at all, the label must say <em>&quot;Do not bleach.&quot;<\/em><\/p>\n<h3 id=\"label-examples-for-common-team-products\" tabindex=\"-1\">Label Examples for Common Team Products<\/h3>\n<p>Use these examples as your starting point when reviewing labels.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Basketball jersey (sublimated polyester, neck label):<\/strong> <em>100% Polyester.
