good result. i worry about the knife thing though. there's a tool called a seam ripper that makes this process easier and safer. it's a little hook that rips thru threads.
If you absolutely must remove the logo, I would suggest going at it from the inside of the hat. If you just slice the stitches down the middle, it turns them into individual loops. Once that is done, you should be able to pull the threads out through the front with relative ease. I am assuming the embroidered logo is the same as any other embroidery (like a name) you wish to remove. This method also reduces the chances of messing up the hat itself (snags, etc.).
I would use a seam ripper instead of a knife and also I would work on the inside of the hat rather than the outside, so any pilling will not be visible when the hat is worn. Also putting a little water on the holes from the stitching will help the holes close up a little bit.
Will this work on the giant embroidery they stich on the sides of limited edition hats? I have a couple of limited edition hats that i bought because they were navy blue retro wool hats, but they have giant stupid looking embroidery with glittery thread. All i want is to buy a navy blue classic looking team hat when it wears out. I dont want to be hunting them down online or all over the city during certain seasons.
Been seeing people do this on Twitter for years and never understood why go through the trouble. Just got a new hat, and I get it now lol, the new era logo is GLARING every time i look in the mirror, so here i am haha
Hey man, thanks for showing me that this can be done. Because I recently picked up a *brand new* New Era 21Twenty Chicago Bears (leather) strap back hat at my local thrift store & unfortunately for me it has that damned New Era logo on the side, as well. Well at least it will until I give this technique a try later on today. Cheers!!!
I have a red cap that says "there is no middle" in a square and I want it removed... it seems like a lot of work to do it this way. Is there any other way? I just want the cap plain.
Advice from a chef, never cut in the direction of your hand or body. Always away from yourself. And always use the right tool for the right job... stitches aren't as fun as they look
I appreciate a chef's commentary. Thanks. And I probably get more comments on how I'm doing it wrong than if I did it properly. But my method is just an alternative on how to remove an embroidered logo that worked for me.
Great video. Finding that some hats are embroidered while others are heat pressed on. Just got my Jays cap with 2016 Postseason patch and the New Era flag is heat pressed on. I turned to look inside the hat and it's not stitched on/embroidered.
piper2381 just a follow up, I ordered a pirates hat and yes, the new era logo is heat pressed on--not stitched. I was gonna start a collection of all 30 teams but now I don't want their shitty hats. Couldn't be more disappointed.
@@chaii_latte seriously, and it's actually called a 'seam ripper'. Been doing it for 40 years, but doesn't even know the correct name for it lol. But jokes aside, it is way easier honestly. Got a kit from Amazon for $8. Came with 4 of them- 2 large, 2 small, and some kinda pairing knife/scissor combo tool. Well worth it.
@@piper2381 do you mean it's too messy to do or the end result looks too messy? I want to take off the NY graphic off the front of my cap but wondering if it will leave loads of holes
Burn it with a lighter. Not direct flame jus kinda close to get it melted a bit to stick in wherever place looks the best to have it melted in place. If u do it right the thread won’t turn black or brown an it should not even catch fire whatsoever if u do it properly.
Yep i did it the other day. I removed the from logo from a on field Pittsburg Pirates flat brim. It came of fairly off easy. Its just tedious. Looks like it was never there.
It's the opposite for me, I don't like it when the cap has not the logo on the side. Why not buying just on field caps? They don't have the logo on the side.
Steven C you mean like the MLB batterman logo? No, sorry, I've never removed it. Although I have seen people who were able to remove the outer border of the MLB logo without a problem.
i am talking about the huge logos that sometimes come on the back or side, but i assume if you can't get the mlb dude out, that you can't get the bigger ones out either, thanks man!
+Steven C +piper2381 surely it's the same principle for taking of a larger logo. For instance if you wanted to take the front logo off? I want to make a custom hat with my own logo you see.
+Daniel Lindner It depends on how complex the embroidery is. I don't mess around with the front of the logo because it's attached to the buckram (the stiff threads inside of the hat). If you want a custom hat, I suggest you go to Lids, they have blank fitteds and a special computer to do custom hats.
It was a big headache to remove my logo, the stitching was very tight almost like it was glued on. Took me around 3-4 hours to remove. If I knew it would take that long I would never have started.
I agree with you about the logo and it is so big. Please emote the logo from the back. Use small scissors. I do machine embroidery and you will be much happier if you do it from the back side. He is right take your time do it nice and clean. Good luck
THANK YOU JESUS ! Cause I’m tired of them putting the World Series on the WRONG SIDE JUST SO I DONT GET A NEW ERA SIGN … Now for the ones on the correct side i can remove the logo and for non World Series
Looks like 10 hours of work. Maybe go to a tailoring shop and pay them $20 to do it? But I suspect that removing the manufacturer's mark is, uh, kind of *illegal*.
***** yea i respect that and i didnt wanted to offend you bt i dont get it lol its like you buy a icecream with vanilla sauce and u dont eat the sauce :D still liked your video
+ApolloArtworks™ | Ben B. Oh no worries, I know what you meant. I just find that after years of collecting various things, I just chose to collect only the things I like. I just happen to think wool fitteds from the early 2000's were the best. So if I'm able to resemble that era, then I'm going to do it. So since the New Era logo wasn't there on the on-fields years ago, I'd rather remove. Compared to a Starter hat from the early 90's, I loved their logo on the back of snapbacks.
okay then, one more question: if you ever wanna sell some rare caps, how are yo gonna do that? people will think its fake? thanks for answering by the way :)
+ApolloArtworks™ | Ben B. I hardly sell anything. Selling is too much of a hassle; I usually donate the stuff I no longer need. If someone thinks my stuff is fake, then it's their loss.
This could actually be useful. I have an old visor from the US Open (tennis event in NYC) Im planning on removing the logo and putting an Iron on patch over it
Sad to say but I got tears rolling down my face as I remove my ex’s name from my hat 💔
At least it wasn't a tattoo
@@piper2381Do you know how to take the emblem of the hat and switch it out etc??
You ain’t alone bro I’m doing it too 😞😢 💔
good result. i worry about the knife thing though. there's a tool called a seam ripper that makes this process easier and safer. it's a little hook that rips thru threads.
Remove that ugly eyesore stickers as well.
you got it
lol
I always leave stickers as long as possible. Idk why tho it just happened.
It would be easier to work from the inside first . Just a bit of a PRO tip 👍🏽
Thank you! I'm doing this to every On field cap when they release the new ones

I don't know about the inside because there's fabric covering it (linen), and since it's a hat I don't want to distort the shape
It doesn’t ruin it
I would use a seam ripper instead of a knife and also I would work on the inside of the hat rather than the outside, so any pilling will not be visible when the hat is worn. Also putting a little water on the holes from the stitching will help the holes close up a little bit.
Good advice... everyone also recommends a seam ripper. But I still prefer the knife

The funny thing is, we now live in a time when the logo is very common, compared to when I first made the video and it was new

New hats at the thrift store? Wow, I gotta start checking my local spots more often
Not exactly sure but I think you should be doing this from inside of hat not the front.
I have a red cap that says "there is no middle" in a square and I want it removed... it seems like a lot of work to do it this way. Is there any other way? I just want the cap plain.
Not sure. I would need to see a picture. Otherwise just look for a plain red cap

Omg! I need to do this on this new backpack I’m getting. It has an ugly patch and doesn’t look cute. Thank you!!😁
did it work hon? pls answer was thinking of trying it on mine as well...
I wish the Blue Jays' equipment manager would hire you! Well done Piper!
Thanks... but I would be fired the first day for "borrowing" all the equipment and never returning it, lol.
@thisblender I don't recommend a seam ripper because it will damage the wool material
***** no it won't. it's made for removing strings from fabric. ask your mom :)
thisblender not saying that in a snotty or rude way, i'm just saying, mom's know about these things. my mom showed me how to use a seam ripper.
thisblender lol, no, I know what you meant. I guess everyone has there own ways, I just prefer a sharp knife, and patience
would it work with sewed football jerseys? want to get rid of a players name
With this work on Jordan logo on shoes. Will it appear clear after removed
No, just wool material, like hats
How you do it now? It's different, not stiched, it's stuck on like a sticker
I don't buy the current style. I only buy wool hats without the logo; New Era calls them "retro classics"
I need a video on removing side patch
I'm going to remove side patching on my cap in few days..maybe I'll make a video!
Try a seam ripper but I agree with you on removing the logo.
Mine left some residue underneath. It seems they are ironing on a stitched patch.
Yikes... that's not a good look either
That shit is glued on now. Comes right off.
Great video. Finding that some hats are embroidered while others are heat pressed on. Just got my Jays cap with 2016 Postseason patch and the New Era flag is heat pressed on. I turned to look inside the hat and it's not stitched on/embroidered.
Yeah they've been doing that for a while now on postseason hats. I don't recommend removing it though because it leaves a mark.
How do you take off the one that's heat pressed and clean it up when your done taking it off?
Or is there a video somewhere about doing it I just bought 2 hats and one has the heat pressed on patch and one is embroidered
There's no way to remove it without leaving a mark on it. I avoid heat pressed patches
@@piper2381 you commented this 4 years ago, have you found out how to remove the mark that's left behind?
thanks.. ur a life saver
Saving lives... one hat at a time
Nice! Keeping it OG
you know it
anyone know if they are going to start heat pressing the new era logo on all hats? or are they likely going to stick to stitching/embroidering?
I hope not, at least with the stitching you're able to remove it
piper2381 just a follow up, I ordered a pirates hat and yes, the new era logo is heat pressed on--not stitched. I was gonna start a collection of all 30 teams but now I don't want their shitty hats. Couldn't be more disappointed.
Your best bet now is hunting online for older hats, just like I do.
piper2381 pisses me off so much man
Hi, this is kind of a long shot, but where did you get your knife?
I had a similar one from my dad which I lost and would be so happy to replace it.
Hey. I'm in Canada and I bought it at Canadian Tire. I think it's called Buck 110 Folding Knife
piper2381 got some skills man...
Thanks :-)
Will this still work on the current hats?
It depends on the embroidery
U can't do this with the new pro light hats I'm assuming
Nope... they're not wool
I just colored it black with a sharpie 😳
That's a fast method
fast method best method.
That doesn't wear off?
Will this work on the polyester caps?
Yes it should
Hey, do you know how to replace the top button? It fell off as I hit my head in the car. 😕
No, I'm not sure, sorry.
Sometimes this is the embroided flag logo being the very reason for fans worldwide to buy a new era cap though XD
Use a STITCH RIPPER (they come in all sizes), I've been doing it for 40 years -- I suppose you use a hatchet when cutting tomatoes?
Mick Kennedy because everyone just has a stich ripper laying around..as opposed to a knife
My nigga. Chill.
Mick your a tool bro

How many UA-camrs who want a fresh New Era grow fucking tomatoes?
I hope this works for adidas logos as well.
As long as it's embroidered
Its much easier if you use a seam ripper tool.
Thank you!! I got a Florida Marlins on field with a white new era flag on the side. Such an eyesore
Yeah, it looks better without it
Is it possible to take the team logo off and put on a different hat?
No because it's embroidered
does it work the same with the bigger patch
+edson camargo no, just the New Era logo since it's small. The bigger patches are too complicated to remove
I wanted to see the pricing for you to remove a logo off my hat?
I wouldn't have time to do it now
is it possible to remove the front of a hat like for example taking off the LA on a dodgers hat??
I've done it before, and it's not worth it because it's too messy

No you can't because of the buckram (white stiff material on the inside of the hat)
how to you fix stitching on the front logo? I have a piece of thread that is hanging out. do I just cut it or pull it out?
I would need to see a picture to help you out
+piper2381 give me your email I'll send
Burn it with a lighter. Not direct flame jus kinda close to get it melted a bit to stick in wherever place looks the best to have it melted in place. If u do it right the thread won’t turn black or brown an it should not even catch fire whatsoever if u do it properly.
I really appreciate it.. I got a backpack from samsung but it doesnt look good and it is finally removed successfully!
That's cool.
I just paint mine black. Looks clean and has subtle new era logo to let people know it’s not some random cheap cap.
Can you remove the front team logo the same way?
No you can't.... it doesn't look good after
Yep i did it the other day. I removed the from logo from a on field Pittsburg Pirates flat brim. It came of fairly off easy. Its just tedious. Looks like it was never there.
Don't forget to remove the label from the visor... Probably should have done that first.
I did........ eventually
piper2381 Good man.
It's the opposite for me, I don't like it when the cap has not the logo on the side. Why not buying just on field caps? They don't have the logo on the side.
Since last year all on field hats have the logo
piper2381 aw didnt know that :-/
A seam ripper make it a lot easier.
Have you used this to take the mlb logo from the back? I want to remove it.
No... I like the MLB logo. Plus I think it's in the middle of the seams
can i remove the under armor front logo without damaging my hat?
I'm sorry I don't know, I don't any under armor hats
yeah, I hate the sides logo too. well done man.

Gab?
lamo uses dull ass knife, why not a razor blade to separate threads?
Nice! Those New Era flags are whack.
How much would you charge for this service?
Hmmm.... nothing I'm a nice guy... I just don't have time to do these things anymore
Roughly, do you know how long this took to remove?
depends.... usually around 30 minutes
It is a process, but worth it. Maybe a stitch a day???
It was a big headache to remove my logo, the stitching was very tight almost like it was glued on. Took me around 3-4 hours to remove. If I knew it would take that long I would never have started.
Yikes, sorry to hear that. Honestly it depends on the style of hat because sometimes they don't use glue.
I always liked the logo
Can this work on my shoes ?
Not on leather shoes
Cj Walker yes
Can you remove the main logo on a hat like this without damaging the hat?
i'd think you could
Yep. I did just tbe other day
ʟᴏɴᴇᴠᴇɴᴛʜᴏʀɪᴢᴏɴ how?
You know there is a sewing tool called an un-pick right?
Much quicker and cleaner.
Will this work on Levis jeans patch?
I'm not sure, sorry
it should, just try to use a seam ripper instead.
Does it ever actually fully blend?
Yes, once you start to wear it the wool will blend together
piper2381 any way to speed up the process? Haha
Nope... gotta take your time.
piper2381 my bad, I meant speeding up the fading of the logo after you removed it
Nope... just natural wear and sweat. Trust me a naturally worn hat will look better than one you speed up
Cool
Have you tried removing the front logo? I just want the hat to be plain.
New Era already makes plain hats... check them out on their website
@@piper2381 they dont have them on the australian site
I got the Pittsburg Pirates flat brim today. I removed the front logo easy.
Nice. Black and Yellow should look clean.
Jesus, your knife must be dull af. Good vid though.
I'm doing this with my Diamond Backs hat so I can get a plain maroon hat. So far I'm 70% done and its taking forever
Do you mean your taking the front graphic off? As that's what I want to do but not sure if it's possible ?
Thanks for the video but, please use a leather glove on your left hand!!
It's okay... I'm careful because I take my time
Never use a knife. Way too dangerous. Get yourself a seam ripper. They are
Get a seam ripper xD I'm using one to take out an embroidered name on a bag
It would need to be really sharp

jvjmnnn.nn Kkkkk 😎😎😎🙂😍😍😎😎😎😎😎😎😍😎😎😎😎😎
Not exactly sure but I think you should be doing this from inside of hat not the front.
The back has fabric the makes that hard to do
piper2381 you have to shave it with hair clippers if there’s a piece of cloth then try cutting with scissors first.
I like having the logo on the side
Yeah a lot of people do, but I just prefer the older version without it.
The logo sucks.
Major League Hatz brought Me Here
Awesome, thanks for watching the vid
Won't it leave a hole?
No because it's wool
I always get rid of the NE logo on all my caps. Love the caps hate the logo.
Keep it OG
How you do it now? It's different, not stiched, it's stuck on like sticker
Thanks to all of you's who agree with me on those goddam new era logos. I thought I was the only one, these money hungry pigs ruined MLB hats!!!!
Yo what team is that?
Toronto Blue Jays
Can’t find it when I look it up is there a specific name to it? I’m just getting the logo not the letter looking for one with the J
This is the 2004 logo. Lids does carry it here in Toronto. Hope that helps.
piper2381 ohh makes sense probably won’t find it here in Colorado lol
Try the website hatland; and search Blue Jays 2004. Sorry I can't post links here

Because I like the look with out it.
THANK YOU JESUS ! Cause I’m tired of them putting the World Series on the WRONG SIDE JUST SO I DONT GET A NEW ERA SIGN … Now for the ones on the correct side i can remove the logo and for non World Series
That's awesome!
Why not use a small nail scissor instead??
It's too messy. A sharp knife is clean
🙌🏻
Can someone please tell me WHY WOULD YOU REMOVE THE NEW ERA LOGO? What is wrong with it

Use a razor on the back will be a lot quicker and less intrusive
Dang I tried it but I fucked up my hat😂😂😂👌
But good video thoe

Whaaaat, that's the only reason I justify spending $35 on an on field cap in the first place lol. I love the new era flag.
I agree the new era logo is ugly. Its a ocd thing for me
There is a sewing tool to do this. Forget the knife its a pain in the ass.
everyone has a different method... this mine
buy the correct tools to remove the side logo!
He’s probably 13 years old
Why?!.!?
run a lighter over the area a couple times. it'll make it blend in and sing any lose fibres
only if it's wool. polyester is plastic and can melt
