Starter Compression T-shirts

[David]

I just ordered some Starter compression t-shirts on-line. I just wanted people opinions about them and then if someone knows how to remove the logo off of them. I need to remove the logos because I need a plain black shirt.

Any suggestions or opinions? I can not afford to buy the Under Armour brand, so I went with Starter.

Use a black felt tip pen and just black it out.........?

Why not just purchase Plain Black T-Shirts?

I have thought about, but then I heard all this "great stuff" about the Under Armour type of shirts from co-workers. I read some reviews about them and the Starter brand compression shirts from the medical and firefighter fields. I was advised that some construction workers wear them to help keep them cool in the weather as well and it works for them. Since I mostly outside, I wanted to give them a try.

I am thinking about heating the logo with a hair dyer to warm the logo up and see if I can peel the logo off that way. I will also try using a q-tip with rubbing alcohol and put that on the back of the logo to see if it cause the logo loosen up and I could peel off the logo that way. These are the ideas so far.

Well, I got my compression shirts today. I tried different means of removing the logos. One in which caused a small hole in the shirt, the hair dryer method. Rubbing alcohol did not work either but no damage. Then I tried an iron on the silk setting. It might be more gentle than the hairdryer. Well, the iron worked. I moved the iron over the logos on the silk setting and they began peeling right up. There some outlines of the logos but for 98% of the logo is gone. Think I may have found an answer/solution. Thanks for those who assisted.
