Hello everyone,
I want to dye my current jersey. It's %100 poliester.
Are there anyone tried this before?

  • I ruined a Gore Windstopper jersey by trying to dye it with standard dylon dye. It had a white back that was getting a bit discoloured so I tried to dye it all black thinking at worse it will turn out grey. It turned out salmon pink :-(

    This could be entertaining.

    Please take before and after photos......


    PS Don't do it if you value the jersey. It probably won't work. Modern man made fibres don't dye well after manufacture.
