When everyone was complaining about the "pink" buttons, I had no problems with mine. Always washed my uniforms together, shirt, pants, hat. I litterally undressed in front of the washer and everything, but the shoes went into the washer. Used a mild detergent and always machine dried. No problem with the buttons.

Then I lent a couple to an umpire who worked a National in either Killeen or McAllen. When he returned the shirts, they were clean, but the buttons were now pink. His wife, who was my friend before I ever met him, apparently uses a detergent with a bleach-like additive.

While your doubts may be actual, I have no reason to believe it is anything, but the detergent.
