I bought a bag today which is quite nice, except for one thing:

The problem is that I am not professional enough to walk around with that on my range bag :p

How do I get rid of it without damaging the bag? Ideally I would like it to be as if the label was never there. Prefer not to paint over it or cover it, I just want it gone...

Might try Goof-Off.

I have no idea if it will work or not, but it won't hurt the nylon bag.

Thanks, I will see if I can get that here in London (or something similar)...

I had success with black spray paint in a comparable situation.

It appears to be silk-screened. Might be easier to cover with something more in your realm than to remove.

Iron on? Sew a cool patch over it?

[simonjester]

How about a black sharpie pen, or sew on a patch of your liking over the top of it...

I'd be very careful using a solvent. WD40 or mineral spirits or stoddard is as harsh as I would use.

Try ironing over it with a clean pice of paper first to see if it is a heat transfer. That may lift it from the surface. You may have to repeat.

If that fails, take the tatoo artist approach and cover it with something else.

Take it to a seamstress and have a pocket sewn on to cover it. Extra pockets always come in handy.

I'd try freakishly hot - boiling water and a stiff tooth brush.

Also, I'm with you, that's gotta go.

Tried WD40, didn't shift it. I like that hot water plan, that's the next one I'll try...

Have you considered covering it with an Olympics patch or bumper sticker. Surely there are a few leftovers on sale.

How about a good ole' Union Jack iron on? You can even get ones in monochrome (black & silver/grey).

[Odd Job]

I am going to aim for obliterating it entirely, patching is a last resort...

[Odd Job]

Tried the hot water and toothbrush, that didn't shift it. Even used some detergent and the rough side of a sponge, that didn't work either.
I then tried the iron with the clean sheet of paper. I got that bag so hot it was steaming, I thought I was going to damage the material.
But that label stayed there.

So, reluctantly, I will give in and paint it.

I guess I am not professional enough to remove this label, sigh...

You'll never get it off cleanly enough to remove the evidence that it was there.

[joustin]

You can remove it with some wicked strong chemicals. You spray from behind but it is very toxic and you need to know if that is water based ink or plastisol. A screen printing shop may be of some assistance. I screen print and that crap is strong once cured.

[barstoolguru]

it will not come off, it is embedded in the nylon fabric and trying to remove it will damage the fabric and weaken it to the point it will rip

[Odd Job]

After several coats of paint and permanent marker, this is the best I can get it. You can't read the label but you can tell that there is a label on the bag. This is good enough for me, all I wanted was to de-mallninja the bag :p

I think the suggestion of sewing a patch over it would be nice. Take it to a Shopping Mall and usually where they sell Baseball Cap's there will be someone who can embroider and have them cover it.
