Taken from my-fjc forum:
How To Fix Your Jerseys Using Laundry or Fabric MarkerIf your jersey needs some touch up or fixing due to certain reasons (such as colour fading).. you can use a special type of marker known as Fabric or Laundry Marker.
These markers are made specifically so that they will not fade when written onto fabric materials such as clothes and then washed later. I remember the time when I was in boarding school and me dad bought me these laundry markers... So I could write my name onto my school uniforms and send them to the school's laundry shop (or known as 'kedai dobi') so that if they go missing, I know which shirt belongs to me.
You can use these markers to fix/touch up faded collars, faded shirt sponsors etc etc...
After you've touched up your jersey using the laundry/fabric marker... you then leave your jersey dry for few days. If there is no PU sponsor/nameset, you can leave it dry outside (under the sun) so that the marker's colour bonds and dries. Later you can wash your jersey and iron press (beneath the area) where you did the touch up...
Here's an example on how I fixed a shirt that I bought for cheap (due to the faded sponsors) using a laundry marker:

Here is the marker that I will use to fix the sponsors.. "Marker for laundry"
Carefully, I re-coloured the faded sponsors
Not bad...
Once done, I then left the jersey outside under the sun for one whole day... since there is no PU sponsors/namesets on it.. Then I washed the shirt and iron pressed beneath the sponsors area so that the colours bond. Here is the results:
Final results
OK la.. Not 100% perfect but still able to enhance and make it better...
