Went away for a state level sporting event in summer once.
We had about 100 kids going from our club. Our club supplied a uniform for the event.
All good, but the bucket hats purchased were bright blue. Looked dorky like something a school uniform would have.
So one of the parents decided we would bleach them all, to make them ligher and closer to our club colour blue.
So layed them all over the decks at our accommodation, sprayed them with bleach a few times. Then let them dry a bit in the sun. Then into the communal laundry to wash and dry.
Turns out we had two different batches of hats with different material. First 40 hats were now lighter. The other 60 hats the bleach made no difference.
So now we had two different uniform hats, kids were fighting over them, they smelt of bleach still and the lady to purchased the uniforms furious and the board complaining.
