Is there any way to use bleach to tie-dye a shirt?

We just got the tee shirts for a school club I am in and though out school colors are green and white, the shirt is an abrasive and fairly ugly shade of yellow.

The bleach could possible ruin the fabric of the shirt. It also depends if its 100% cotton or 50% cotton/50%polyester. If its 50/50, it will probably be very difficult if not impossible to get the color out. RIT does make something called color remover, but the best you will probably end up with is a lighter fairly ugly shade of yellow. Why don’t you just try dying it a different color. Blue over yellow will make some shade of green and red over yellow will make some shade of orange. My personal experience with RIT dyes is the colors aren’t very vibrant, they’re more muted. They sell cold water dyes in the craft store and they come out the brightest, but are difficult to work with. My hands were blue for a week! If worst comes to worst, you can always dye it black.
On an unrelated note, my college roommate did something really cool with bleach and a black t-shirt. She used the bleach as “paint” and wrote a poem on her shirt. It totally destroyed the brush, but the shirt looked really cool.
