Default Question about a Jersey.

So today I bought a jersey online at the Fanattic website and noticed something. The lettering packages are authentic (even when you buy the replica) which I didnt realize. The Jersey I bought last year was from the NHL shop. Well the lettering they give you with replica jerseys are not authentic! I wish I would of known that before because I hate the rubber lettering on my Iginla jersey. Anyways this raises the question is there anyway I can get the crappy rubber/plastic lettering removed and get it replaced with authentic lettering?

How is the plastic lettering attached? If it is glued, I would guess there is no good way to get it off.

Maybe you could sew the exact same authentic letters over top of the old ones? Or at least that might work over top of the remaining fragments of the old letters.

Try taking it to a fanattic and see what they say. They were happy to remove my old lettering and put on new ones, but granted, they were authentic sewn on ones.

I think I can help you out. NHL.com uses pre-made jerseys, which have flat numbers and letters with the illusion of being layered. Those are pressed on and could be removed under very high heat, say about 225 degrees fahrenheit.
The only problem with that is the remains from the glue. There will be white stains in the shape of Iginla and 12 and the people at the FanAttic will have to be extra careful and coordinated so that they place the new kit right on top of the stains. If done right this could look perfect, but if done improperly, the jersey could be ruined. Be very careful and never buy a jersey from NHL.com again. Trust me, they suck.

Make sure they show you the special small lettering for the Bouwmeester jersey before you buy it.
