How to take off these plastic logos on jerseys?

[Nando Vallart]

Hey, this is perhaps the most OFF-TOPIC of the whole life of the forum  :laughing7:

My team has released a new jersey and it has some "publicity" in the sleeve that I really DON'T like and would like to know how to take it off without damaging the jersey and, as there is a lot of mad cientist here on forum, I thought could be good ask them how to do so...

Here is the jersey:

The publicity is a kind of plastic film, pressed to the jersey... I don't know a lot about these things, even more in english... I think it may be very much alike the American Football jerseys I've seen (been a long time since and for what I remember)

cheers!

Seems a good idea, I'll buy some tape tomorrow

The easiest way to go, I suspect.

If you are a professional player though, Nando, you may be in breach of your player's contract if you willfully cover up a sponsor's logo on the playing jersey..... when you say, my team, you mean the team you play for, or the team you support? :dontknow:

 

[Nando Vallart]

No, this is the jersey of the football (arrein) team I support... :laughing7:

The rugby team I'm (or used to be) one of the owners don't even have a jersey... ütterly amateur...

Do you know of any t-shirt printing shops around you?  They might have some ideas, but that isn't likely to come completely off.  If it was ink, that's another story and would just mean a lot of work.  Those heat press logos can be a b*tch.

I think it's the heat press thing... one of the boarders of the logo on one jersey is getting off and I tried to pull it calmly and I didn't feel it would works :S

They're made to withstand heat as they get washed and dried (hopefully) regularly.

I temped in a screen printing shop for nine months. The best way to remove the logo is to get a new shirt. Even if you remove it, there will be a shiny outline there.

It's a new jersey and it have been used like twice... I don't mine the shiny outline, because I can buy how many new jerseys I can, all them will come with the sponsorship's logo, what I don't really like...

Cover over it with black sharpie.  What is the "publicity" that you don't like about them.
