I have a maroon basketball uniform with white stripes. After (even careful) washing, the stripes are now pink. My daughter does not like being the only one on the team with pink stripes. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to get them white again?

Can I get rid of the pink without ruining the maroon part of the uniform?

Have you tried color safe bleach? I never wash anything dark in hot/warm water. I goofed up just the other day and washed a maroon item with my white and turned everything pink, not a pretty pink either! Hubby isn't very happy with me... lol I re-washed only my white in hot and bleach 4-5 times before I could get it out... they make whitening balls in the bleach isle in walmart. Give them a try, they aren't just for white clothes.
Personally I would NOT try those bleach pens because the bleach will quickly bleed over onto the maroon before you can re-wet it.

You might try the clorox bleaching pen. Definitely put one of those washer sheets for bleeding in from now on. Or discretely buy another shirt.

Seriously, if I were you, I'd buy another uniform. And wash it in cold water from now on. Until the new one comes in, you tell her teacher that you have ruined her uniform, so she will be excused from wearing it.
