Why are my shorts overdyed?

I ordered some shorts online and on a tag it says they are overdyed and need to be washed separately to prevent bleeding. What is their reason for "overdying"?

Probably because they know the color bleeds and you want them to be the right color as long as possible

The fabric absorbs more dye in the time between them producing it and you washing it for the first time.

It means that to get the most out of the colors you must wash them with all your whites.

My dad had a leather coat that leaked. The rain will screw your stuff up bad.
