text: can patches on a football jersey be removed without damage? i bought a football jersey recently, but i was sent the wrong one. i cant return it & i already own the same jersey. the jersey has english premier league patches & i was wondering if they can be removed with out damage. i want to put champion league patches on it instead. it depends upon how the patch is attached.    if it is sewed on, get a stitch cutter and it is real easy to remove.  its a small tool designed to safely and easily cut stitches without damaging the material.  if it is an iron-on patch, although you can get it off, some of the glue will often remain on the cloth and discolor it.  you must have an iron, and either the protective paper used to put the patch on or a crisp, clean cloth.    i have found that wetting the cloth beneath the patch helps.  put the cloth or protective paper over the patch and heat it until it is loose and use some clamping scissors or tweezers to peel the patch off.  you must quickly scrape off the glue using a clean, flat-bladed tool like a putty knife or a butter knife.  good luck, it's not an easy procedure.
