Hell Fire Rich, you`ve screwed it good havent you!!!
Get yourself to Wilkinsons or a homewares shop immediatley! You need Stain Devil Colour Restorer, its in a little tube, not expenisve and you chuck it in the washer with the tops and hey presto! its fixed!
If this doesnt work, you can hide at my house till your footy mates forgive you!!!!!!!
I used to wash my fellas kits and ONCE put ONE pair of socks in with a dark wash and greyed them - I was nearly lynched!!

Why certainly I can help you out, Just wash these team shirts in the hottest water they can stand with one cup of White Vinegar and allow to stand for a few hours before completing the wash cycle, then wash in the vinegar with no detergent added. At end of cycle, wash again this time in cool water with no detergent, the trick here is to remove the detergent residue from your detergent when you washed them and vinegar will remove this residue and make your shirts white and bright again, The one cup of Vinegar is for a small to medium load add more to a bigger load only I say a cup and half for that size. Don't use fabric softner as Vinegar will soften for you. Good Luck !

Try this if you wish, turn them outside in and place into cold water, then with the good old fashioned soap bar used for washing clothes give a good rub of soap let the soap sink in say 1/2 then back to the cold water rinse well & straitgh outside to the sun the sun will bring the natural color back , as it does with white clothes . Gives them that whiter than white look

I washed some new dusters in with a load once and everything came out yellow. Could try that!

Oh dear! Sounds like you are in trouble! I'm not sure what will help you now but next time put a scoop of oxi-clean in the wash to stop dye running!

Go get some yellow dye, and dye the shirts yellow.
If that doesn't work, pay for new shirts.
If your team DOES 'kill' you, then they aren't real teammates. Real teammates would forgive you.
