Advice needed

Post image

This is previous long sleeve work shirt. Its super comfy but has the previous owners logo attached. Is there anyway to remove it and how would I go about it? There's nothing on the inside so it's not a patch. I figure it's silk screened or something but don't know the differences.

Silk screening is not designed to be removed. If it was vinyl on a non-cotton fabric, you could try ironing it to remove (with parchment paper between it and the iron) but silk screen on cotton can’t be removed. You could also try acetone, but i haven’t had luck with it.

Thats the thing I don't know if it's silk screened. I don't think so.

The letters look like they're "on top" of the fabric themselves. I just don't know what the technique they used was.

I’m 99.9% sure it was silk screened, lighter color inks are thicker, so it usually looks more puffy on dark fabrics. Try acetone.
