I have a sports jacket from a team I used to play for. It's a very high quality jacket and I would like to continue wearing it, but the team name is written in large text across the upper-back of the jacket.
I would like to remove this writing but I don't know how. It appears to be some kind of stitching but it's quite heavily coupled with the jacket material.
Is it possible to remove this? See attached photos:
I've tried cutting just a small section of one of the letters but I'm not sure if it's working properly. The stitching is so fine that there's still a thin white outline:
Edit: Thanks everyone for the feedback! This strategy is working. It will take a very long time, but I will get there:
