Clorox Stain on Red Polo Shirt?

I have a Clorox stain on my husband's very expensive Haverety golf polo shirt.
How can I repair or get the Clorox stain out of this very nice shirt?

Clorox actually removes the color so it is not a stain as anyone normally thinks of a stain.
You may be able to find a fabric marker at one of the craft stores (Michael's, JoAnn's) that matches the color of the shirt other wise you might have to find an iron-on or sew-on golf patch to cover the spot.

You removed the color, or bleached it out. You could try to get the exact color dye or a sharpie. I'm not sure it will be an exact match.

First, is there an insignia on it? That messes up the whole plan. I've tried using a marker on small bleach spots, but with no success, although I have a friend who has successfully used a black marker on a black cotton shirt. I would opt to dye the entire shirt. One thing to consider is the fabric. Synthetics don't take and hold dye like cotton fabrics do. RIT fabric dye, however, makes a formula for synthetics, which I assume would work for cotton/synthetic blends. I would try to find a color, as close as possible to the original color of the shirt and dye the whole thing it by soaking for an extended period of time - a day or two.

The bleached area, being basically colorless may take longer than it would if it were all one color. If you soak it long enough it may take the dye evenly. Just "stir" it a bit now and then to keep the coloring process even. Whatever you choose to do, you can't lose because the shirt isn't wearable they way it is.
