Notice the yellow stain on the jersey at 3 o'clock. There is not actual glue, just its color. How do I get the yellow fly-paper glue stain off the number on my jersey?

You can try a paste of hydrogen peroxide--whatever strength you have--and baking soda (pour peroxide into the baking soda and stir until it becomes the consistency of cake icing). Put a thick towel between the layers so the stain doesn't bleed through to the other side and with your fingers or a spoon or a toothbrush gently message the icing like mix into the stain and let it sit for 15-20 minutes. Rinse in cold and repeat until the stain comes out.
"Put a thick towel between the layers". Can you elaborate on this part? I didn't get it. You mean put a thick towel under (the other side) of the stain?
Sorry for not being clear. You don't want the liquid from the stain to leak through to the other side. By putting a thick towel inside the shirt so the front does not touch the back, the towel will absorb the liquid and any potential stain release.
You could use a little acetone removal , also stain removal detergent , like Oxyclean , Zout, are good ones - There is also a link to cleaning different glues- www.thespruce.com/
Hopefully, this jersey has not been in the dryer but if it has, it may just take more than one cleaning to completely remove the stain.
Not everybody does this but you should lay your jersey out flat on something that water will not harm such as a kitchen counter top or the top of your washing machine or dryer.
I like PGHgirl's formula but I like to add a little blue Dawn to mine
50% Baking Soda - 25% Hydrogen Peroxide - 25% blue Dawn Dish Soap
Mix these together in a small bowl until well combined.
Using a wash cloth or a soft toothbrush, scrub the stained area with the mixture. Use as much mixture as needed but try to stay within the white area.
Depending on the severity of the stain, scrub anywhere from 1-5 minutes (not real hard or fast - medium gently). Once all areas of the stains are scrubbed, leave the jersey set for for 1-2 hours, or until the mixture has completely dried onto the jersey.
There is a product from Canada, EZ Strip All purpose stain remover. In the US it is now called MAX all purpose stain remover. I am an artist and get paint on everything. I had a pair of shorts that for 7 years had a half dollar size of white acrylic paint on them. I would wear them anyway so for all those years they were washed and dried and I tried the EZ Strip product with little hope.
