    I had the same issue pop up twice recetly, twice. Luckily my wife is a textiles expert...so I put it in her hands. She spot-cleaned both of them, and both came out spotless (one of them is going to be framed, and the spot was dark too). She took a few tablespoons of "oxy clean" and put into a cup. She then added water little by little until it formed a paste. She then pre-moistened the fabric, and then dabbed the paste onto the spot and pushed it onto the fabric. She let it sit for 2 hours, but in the course of the 2 hours (it starts to try), she re-applied. After 2 hours, you should be able to rinse the spot, and the stain should be gone.
    You might want to try this method on a less valuable jersey first so that you know what you're doing when you get to the real one. Like I said earlier, I let the expert take charge rather than experiment myself...
