Taking the stitching off a jersey

[D-Rose]

No, I'm not a cheap ass bastard, at least not by choice. But I am a broke, broke, broke ass college student.

Anyway, I got an authentic Barry Zito A's jersey (from when he could strike people out) that's worth about as much as a puddle of piss right now.

Its a clean ass jersey, but I really ain't tryin to rock it. Anyone ever take the lettering and numbers off an authentic?

If so, how? And how did it come out?


Thanks ya heard me.

Shit. Thanks.


I learned the hard way not to invest in an authentic baseball jersey, unless its a throwback.

Them motherfuckers switch teams too often.

I got the stitching redone on one of my throwbacks that tore at a dry cleaners, but you can't trust them too much. I don't think it's worth gambling it by doing it yourself either. An alteration/seamstress place is probably your best bet. They might be able to help out the color difference if it turns up too.

Yea, I've had the urge to buy a V. Davis, Gore, and/or Patrick Willis jersey. But I said fuck it and just bought a Rice 80s throwback. Cost was wayyy higher, but at least it'll never ever go out of style.

Shit. I think I'll just leave it be, and take it as a loss.
