Logo removal

[SouthPaw 0]

What is the best way to remove the logos from your helmet without scratching the plastic?

i just cover it up with black or white electrical tape.

Has anybody tried brake cleaner on the logos before?

goo gone has always worked for me.

Actually, Mr. Clean Magic Eraser works really well. You just have to be willing to take the time to sit down and scrub, and scrub, and scrub. It leaves the plastic a bit of a matte finish, but no scratches.

Doesn't doing any of that void the certifications of your helmet?

Rubbing alcohol and Goo Gone are good. Put some on, let it sit, repeat. I also use a little heat from my heat gun. Not too much because you will burn the plastic. Just a couple seconds to heat up the adhesive, then pull on the sticker, apply Goo Gone/Alcohol. It'll come right off and you won't have residue.

Not so much "voided" as "cant prove its still certified" really.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but as long as the helmet itself is a model that is certified, logo or not, it's certified. However, I do know some leagues, especially for little guys, like to see all the proper stickers during gameplay.

So what are people talking about?

The certification stickers or the brand logos? I thought the original Poster was talking about brand logos (bauer, ccm, reebok)

I assumed the poster was talking about the brand logos.

I was always under the impression that altering your helmet by painting it, etc. would void the certification.

I was referring to brand logos but I may take of the CSA etc stickers too. I was looking for a total polished looking black helmet. It is a Mission Intake Fusion with a half visor. I'm not too concerned about certification.

Yeah but a Cooper helmet that was certified in '96 is not good to use anymore that's why they have a sticker that says your helmet is no longer valid ''than the end of'' whatever year. That being said I have never seen a ref give a penalty or anything because of missing stickers
