Dyeing a skinsuit....

Odd question of the year

I have recently changed clubs and as my old club was tiny there is no market for 2nd hand kit.

This has resulted in me having a skinsuit, 2 jersey's, and a pair of bibshorts all with my old club name on. As it's Giordana which I love, has anyone tried dyeing lycra kit with something like dylon?

I know it's not going to look the best but it may provide me with some training/commuting/winter kit?

    Man-made fibres don't usually dye well, if at all.

    Yeah, that's about what I thought!

    I did a quick google before asking but thought it was worth a punt!

    Bucket of bleach and have all white spare kit?
    I've added a signature to prove it is still possible.

    Would bleach not damage the lycra?

    If there's someone who would want 2nd hand kit at a reduced price from the old club you could sell it on......jerseys possibly, skinsuit / bibs no chance!

    Or could just keep it as spare training kit and ignore the fact it's a different club....allegience issues I know but if you're cool with it and the old club isn't you can just say the only way you'll stop wearing it is if they buy it off you!.

    I managed to offload my kit, apart from a S/S jersey, which I now use as an alternative base layer.

    Just keep it for the winter when you cover up anyway - or for turboing
