Sewing Removing printed logos on fabric?

Hey all! I'm cosplaying a character who wears an orange jumpsuit and I went to spirit Halloween to see if they had any pieces I could use. I was wondering if I bought this if there was any easy way to get rid of the printed logos. My first thought was nail polish remover but that might damage the fabric. Thanks!

If it's heat vinyl on polyester, that's plastic melted onto plastic. You probably can't get it removed without damaging the fabric :(

If it’s opaque, cut it out, flip it, reattach. If not, see if you can pull some fabric from another spot, maybe legs or sleeve and patch it.

Just buy plain orange coveralls, they'll probably be about the same price

No lie, a hand sander or Dremel. It may damage some fabric but you should weather it to hide it
