Fit on Men's jerseys for us chicks?

Unless it's wool or cotton, you probably shouldn't dye it...at home, anyway. The dyes used on man-made fabrics (except possibly nylon, and I'm not sure of that) are really nasty.

Oh BUMMER! I dye a lot of things around here, but you know, they usually are cotton items. Everything from no-longer white tablecloths to those lightweight ghi's the martial arts schools hand out for free (I use those as pajamas, I'm a ghi snob, those cheap things shouldn't be meant for public use).
I'll check the directions & info... if not, I'm selling those jerseys, I just don't wear them as-is.

If you are looking for fun women's jerseys then have a look here www.summitdifferent.co.uk. This online store has just launched in the UK recently and they have got some great designs. I like their ethos which is, they want to increase the choice of innovative and fun designs for both men and women. From looking at their current stock, they have got more designs for the women than for men ... just what I like to see.

I have one of their jerseys, the jelly beans designs. It is GREAT, very bright and the quality is very good too. Loads of my friends have commented about it and I'm looking to buy another jersey too ... perhaps a Rosie Riveter jersey!!

Have a look girls you won't be disappointed.

I found this other site, also UK, which has great designs, although with very limited runs (I love the "Vive Le Tour" jersey, but I missed it!):

The Space Invader is really cute. Too bad I'm poor. Foska (again, another UK company) also has most of their designs in both men's and women's.

Very true. I'm a fiber artist, and while dyeing polyester fibers can be done at home, the fumes are HORRIBLE. Nylon can be dyed easily using acid dyes (they sound worse than they really are!), and you can get some beautiful color with them.

Cotton, rayon, tencel, etc can be dyed with cool-water fiber-reactive dyes very easily at home. This includes all cellulose fibers (plant fibers) such as linen, hemp, ramie, etc.

For jerseys that I design, I usually end up doing something along the lines of applique or fabric paint. Works great!!
