Haven't tried yet, but I would use some kerosene locally which woul
dissolve the grease. Once the stain is removed, I'd wash with suds a
usual to remove the kerosen trace. I don't expect kerosene to harm th
printings on the jersey, but as I said, I haven't tried yet

Cheers, Amir

try some citrus degreaser, like the stuff you get for your chain, its
bit more gentle than kero, and smells alot better ...

It's never caused problems here. I just use it as a wash rather than for soaking.
