Removing the sponsor off the Home Shirt. Anyone going to attempt it?

[Jimmy23]

I was in the blades shop earlier and saw the new kit for the first time. It is one of the best in recent years, HOWEVER the sponsor makes my blood boil. I agree with all S24SU Users that the sponsor does ruin a great shirt which is why I've got a technique to remove the sponsor... using a hairdryer! But in all honesty, I haven't got the 'balls' to do it because it could potentially mean £45 down the shitters. Is anyone else out their thinking about removing the sponsor?

PS. Their must be someone out in Sheffield that has a business of removing sponsors/lettering from Sports shirts!... Surely their must be

UTB!

Have to say the front sponsor doesn't at all bother me, I've only got two United shirts not to have a front sponsor (from 1991). The reverse one however... Surely an easier one to remove than the front too?

cover the logo with one from another shirt so its not embarrassing

Just iron on a better sponsor over the top

 

[TarquinDelouche]

Cut a rectangle out the front of the shirt. Use scissors.

A Newcastle fan has had a go at removing a player's name from the back. He tried:
- hairdryer and kitchen knife combo
- steam iron and knife combo
- direct iron

The third option looked the most successful, but does seem to leave the glue where the name was.

Someone should give it a go with the back sponsor and see what happens. Someone that isn't me

 

[PeterNdlovu081]

Soak it in human piss for 72 hours.

Jimmy, aren't you best just chatting up someone who works in the shop and;

a. asking them nicely to sell you one before they iron the sponsor's logo onto it.

b. finding out where they do the transfers and asking the same question of them, if its an 'outside' contractor?

I agree, all the additional stickers mess it up and why should you pay to advertise a used car salesman?

You could equally ask the question 'why should a company sponsor a shirt where fans remove your logo, given part of the point in sponsoring said shirt is to have several thousand mobile adverts as a result?'

 

[Latters]

I've heard that works but you have to be wearing it at the time.

Do nothing.

It will eventually drop off anyway.

 

[bricktop]

Or get some tippex and felt tips and colour it all in

 

[SwissBlade]

Just buy some stripes and stick them over the top

 

[SouthEssexBlade]

you throw red wine on it, then white wine!

 

[TarquinDelouche]

Wear it back to front. Then wear a cape. Win/win, whichever way you look at it.

Isn't that for red wine stains?

Change your name by deed poll to John Holland Sales - instant personalised shirt.

I drank a bottle of red the other night and then a bottle of white to sober me up. Didn't work.

If it was my company who was the sponsor then I would not be very happy if the club sold a shirt (replica or not) without my company logo on it, especially given what the sponsorship deal may have cost me in the first place! In fact I would actually insist it was part of the sponsorship deal that either of the above did not happen! Whether I am a Blade or not, advertising is advertising and the more people who buy the replica shirts the more advertising exposure I would get.

I'm not saying I don't agree with your comment about the logos messing up the shirt (too commercial for my liking and adds to the cost of me buying it) but just seeing it from the sponsors point of view.

If I weren't a communist and if I were a used car salesman and if I had just paid out to have my company's branding on a football shirt then I would have had made sure I'd had a decent graphic designer create my logo for me.

Given that said 'Swiss Tony', sells cars like Mercedes, Bentley, Audi, and Porsche (I think?) all of which have stylish badges on their bonnets and hub-caps, they should have come up with something better than they have done.

If thats too rude then I do agree that the graphic would be OK on a shopfront but on a white patch ironed on the shirt it reflects badly. It should have been better if it were a black line graphic with no white patch background and a bit bigger.

If it turns out to look like complete shit, they can always change it anyway. Like they did with the 'Visit Malta' shirts.

 

[Billyblade]

Have "Evans" on the back and cover up the sponsors logo on the front with his prisoner number

Apparently the referees spray from the World Cup works a treat. Spray it on, leave for a few minutes, then it vanishes along with anything beneath it.

You'll have a hole in the shirt beneath though

Fine advice

 

[stringjunior]

1. Close your eyes when the butler passes you said garment.

2. Never look at yourself in a mirror whilst wearing it, nor take that selfie of yourself and prince william you might otherwise have taken

3. Dont get papped whilst wearing it

4. If 3 above does happen, don't buy Hello magazine for a few weeks.

All fairly simple really
