I don't think you can remove it. Can you sew something over it?

You might try some mineral spirits(generally safe for most fabrics) - or 1 of those goo-remover concoctions(check the label first!)???

Many times, IMPE, that 'residue' will peel or scrape off if moistened 1st w/mineral spirits....

OOps! forgot to mention heat (like from a blowdryer) may also work to loosen the stuff - if it's 1 of those 'fuse' adhesives.....

don't mix mineral spirits w/ heat.

Alright, none of those methods worked so I decided to go with what gayle said. I'm going to sew something over it. Now I'm going to need to find Orange fabric letters. Does anyone know a place online that I can get them?

hello?

I don't know if this will help you or not, but I have ordered from this ebay seller several times. He has heat transfer items & I got orange iron on letters from him earlier this year.

thanks hosta_mom for the response but my husband insisted that they be like the one's the players wear. Im looking for a more of a cloth material.

can someone please help me?

What you are looking for is called Sewn On Tackle Twill lettering.

Here's a website where they sell uniforms with this type of lettering (scroll down a bit on the page). I found a number of websites that sell sports uniforms with the lettering you choose, but haven't yet found a place that sells just the letters. From the website:

["Sewn On Tackle Twill"
tackle twill decoration is a flat material letter or number widely used to decorate athletic uniforms that is die cut and then normally sewn onto the garment using a zig zag stitch. ]

At any rate, try googling "tackle twill letters" and see what you com up with. Is there a local sports uniform shop in your area that might sell you the letters you need?
