KB67 Posted June 8, 2019 Report Share Posted June 8, 2019 Has anyone removed a Vector patch from the back of an Edge jersey? I removed the stitching and thought it would come off pretty easily, but it’s glued down pretty good. Anyone have any experience on what my next step should be?

NYIJM29 Posted June 8, 2019 Report Share Posted June 8, 2019 (edited) I (mildly) burned my jersey. Be careful to use a thicker shirt or towel when applying heat. I would recommend buying airknit and just doing a cover up. Edited June 8, 2019 by NYIJM29 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jsh139 Posted June 8, 2019 Report Share Posted June 8, 2019 Are you sacrificing the jersey or reusing it? I’ve had good luck using acetone on the inside of the jersey to help loosen a twill nameplate. Downside is it left a lot of glue on the jersey that I had to remove. I’d start with heat/steam to the inside of the jersey and if that doesn’t work, go straight to acetone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, not sacrificing the jersey, just trying to make the jersey more accurate, as it has a current player on it, and the jersey is identical to the current one, with the exception of the Vector patch. The current WHL jerseys have a CCM Patch. I got the CCM Patch from the Team EQM, so I want to remove the Vector and put on the CCM so it isn’t a foul. The rest of the jersey is double layered, so steaming or putting a stone on the inside isn’t an option on this particular part of the jersey......so, I think I may be stuck now.....

TheKevinShow Posted June 8, 2019 Report Share Posted June 8, 2019 Does this advice apply to removing a Reebok wordmark as well? I'll have to take one off of a Blackhawks jersey so I can have a vector patch added. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was going to be a simple removal, but nope....super frustrating Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brilliant! Posted June 8, 2019 Report Share Posted June 8, 2019 DO NOT, I REPEAT, DO NOT APPLY HEAT. That will only melt more glue into the material. The only real option is to pick at a corner with your nails until you can get enough of it to slowly peel it off. If you iron it, you'll seal it to the fabric more and it will never come off clean. If you just pull it off slow, you can most likely iron out a lot of the leftover. There will be a point where the residue probably won't come off though. Those patches are pressed down extremely hard because the manufacturers don't want them removed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
