Here are my laundry "rules":
-- whites with whites, blacks with blacks, stripes with stripes (all ONLY); no exceptions
-- stripes on cold, everything else on warm unless there's a stain on the knickers
-- everything hang dries except under garments like tights, briefs, under-socks, etc. which go through an air dry cycle in the dryer
If a striped shirt is fading, either black or white, get a new one. They're cheap. I rotate a minimum of 4 shirts in every season and they last about 2-3 years, depending on the number of games I do. Even starting out, you should never have fewer than 2 shirts in any sport.
