My husband, being an avid Bolton Wanderers fan, proudly bought his team’s
football shirt. This shirt is essentially white with navy side panels and
writing.

Not trusting me with his precious purchase he decided to wash it himself.
However the instructions flummoxed him because they clearly indicated that he
should “wash dark colours separately”.
