I've got an old employee coach's jacket and its sweet but it has ski coach and a mountain's logo stitched into it, as well as being bright orange. Anyone got ideas how I could change the color or cover the words? I've seen some boarders spray paint jackets but idk, seems sus.

Pretty sure the outer layer is possible to dye with rit. Just make sure the outer layer is not waterproofed so that the dye can soak in. The gore tex is not the outer layer.
 
Gore Tex the membrane itself cannot be dyed. It won’t retain color. The outter layer of the garment may or may not retain color. Typically synthetic materials won’t hold a dye well. So your results could end up being odd hues. Trying won’t damage the goretex. As mentioned depending on the current status of your waterproofing will affect the actual dye process more than anything.
