I have a new Arsenal Home Shirt that is in need of cleaning. After washing my Highbury shirt from last year the badge got warped. Anyone got a good idea to keep the badge looking fresh? Im thinking gentlest cycle there is.

Some shirts recommend that you wash them inside out too. But if the badge has warped you probably washed it too hot.
If you are really worried about your shirts then you can always hand wash them?

I wash my team jerseys inside-out on regualr cycle, with a low-temperature dry[room temp air].
The best for replica/authentic kits meant for leisure... a gentle inside-out wash [with stain remover applied to any spots of dirt, etc], then a fluff[no heat] dry in the drier. Seems right.

I never tumble dry my shirts EVER! I just let them dry natrually.
Plus you should NEVER tumble dry a shirt with printing on!

Honestly, I've had never had a problem as long as it was no heat and inside out.
I've always been scared of hang drying myself. Worried mostly about it stretching the neck and shoulders.

Its very sad to hear about a damaged Arsenal shirt!:o
I usually get my new ones, prised ones or ones with numbers hand washed and hung out to dry. my older ones I get washed inside out.
Benji, how is your Arsenal one damaged, thats unfair? Luckily mine isn't as I circulate my wearing of my 20 odd Arsenal shirts.:D

regular wash+naturally dry. don't hang it though you can warp the collar area unless you have a rubber hanger
set it and forget it!
