set-in banana stains messing up jersey pockets

I never would have thought that an ordinary banana could leave permanent stains in my bike jersey pockets. The way that bananas turn black as they spoil, seems to happen to the residue that is deposited on the jersey fabric. I have tried Clorox 2 in the wash and also spraying with Shout and spraying with Hydrogen Peroxide/Dawn dish detergent mix. Strangely, the banana stains have become set-in and my light colored jerseys all have these nasty stains which now are hopelessly set in.

If anybody knows a last ditch remedy, I sure would like to hear about it.
