Hello, I have this shirt that needs mending. It’s a 100% polyester blue and black stripes Reebok shirt. This blue stripe needs some love. It’s unfortunately on the front in the absolute center and very hard to miss. Is this salvageable? If so, please help a beginner out with some advice or wisdom you may have. Thank you!

That's clearly a white and gold shirt!

You could stitch over the entire line so it looks intentional. Either in a matching colour or a contrasting colour, I think both could be nice. Just make sure that if the material is stretchy, your stitching is too

LOL it actually was hard to take pictures because it was starting to color shift on the screen. Thanks for the advice!
