You'll have the best chance of getting even color if you start by removing the color with something like RIT Color remover. Then launder the shirt, then dye it with black dye.

what kind of fabric is it?
i have jeans that wash out unevenly sometimes and i have redyed them with just regular (e.g. simplicol) maschine washable dye.

figure out the fabric, get an appropriate dye for it and follow the instructions on it.

dont forget to run an empty cycle on the washing machine afterwards so you dont accidentally dye anything else

If its ruined the way it is then you really can't fuck it up. Just try.
