A way of getting the name off the shirt

Just though i would post this for people who might want to spend a bit of time getting rid of the name of a guy that used to play for us off the back of the shirt.
My missus has found a way but it does take some time and there is a little bit of a shadow of the lettering but i will be trying to get Carroll leaving the number 9 put over the top so it should be ok.
The way we did it was to use a hair dryer and stretch the shirt while heating it up and scraping with the end of a pair of tweezers.
It needs to be hot and put a towel under the inside of the shirt and across your knee while scraping away bit by bit.
Worth a go if you are like me and not long bought a new shirt.
But you do need patience and you need to get it hot.

Why not just leave TORRES on the shirt, but add the words " IS A WHORE " 

Yea this is the way I've done it but with a normal butter knife. Fine if you're going to get other letters put over the top. Although not even sure any other way is going to be any better.

I just thought that the African charity shirt appeal might be overoloaded.

If I do it, can you buy just letters to put on the jersey?

Going to see if JJB will do it tomorrow

My sister-in-law looked it up, and apparently if you put a wet cloth over the top of the letters & iron over it- then it comes off.

Havent tried anything yet though.

let us know of it works, I haven't got the patience to do the other methods!!

Burn it I say. Cold out isn't it.

Joke by the way.

Cringed seeing that last night.

Send torres the bill for a new shirt.

That is correct. I purchased Premier League arm patches for my old Liverpool tops a while ago. To put them on you put a towel inside the top where you want to place the letters, then you put a damp tea towel over the letter and steam the letter or badge until the adhesive melts.

The removal process should be the same, you are steaming the adhesive so you can peel it off.

The only problem i can foresee is the that Torres has 2 letters either side of the R's - TO - RR - ES.

Where as Carroll has 2 letters on the left and three on the right = CA - RR - OLL.

This would make the player's name look off centre if i'm right?.

Going to see if JJB will do it tomorrow

Are jjb cheapest? Does anyone else just put numbers letters on?

Heat the letters up pal and they come off quite easily.  start from the bottom left corner when taking them off as thats usually the bit that hits the shirt last

can you still see shadows what used to be stood there. cuz then id just buy a new shirt.

I'm 23 years old so stop being a condescending pr**k. I haven't tried removing the name, but i understand those who might want to. And if they wanna get another player, good for them. Don't be such an arsehole because you think you're above it.

I still can't see your reasoning for hating the creativity on what to do with an old Torres jersey.

Im still looking for a method of removing since Keane left...
