Best method to recreate 'sweat rings/stains' in clothes?!???

Hi,
I'm scrambling to finish my TWD Rick Grimes season 3 costume for a Con this weekend and can't seem to find anything good to make dark sweat rings on my shirt. I've tried coffee but it dries rather light. RIT dye turns purple and looks awful. I can use spray paint, but would rather not.

Please ANY last minute suggestions/ideas would be GREATLY appreciated!!

Please and thank you!!!
 
Somewhere I remember reading a suggestion that baby oil makes realistic looking sweat stains, with the advantage that it stays wet looking for quite a while.
 
For rings and stains from dried old sweat, apply clear or 'neutral' shoe polish. Use a clean shoe brush and rub it into the fabric.
 
If you want dried sweat rings and grime (no pun intended) tea works great. The stronger and darker the tea the darker the rings. You can pour it one, wipe it on or apply with a spray bottle.
