)So if I cut from the top side of the logo, im golden?Avid sewn logo remover here (what's up with all those thick buoyant catchy rubber Halycon badges??
This is totally fine in most cases, but sometimes they also glue the patch on prior to sewing. The patch will pull off ok, but some adhesive might remain.
I removed a spearo chest pad from a nice two piece wetsuit top this way, using a stitch cutter and razor blade on the threads. 'Holes in neoprene' from thread doesn't seem to be problem. But be careful not to nick the neoprene itself while cutting.
In this case I just wanted to streamline the thing for SCUBA. Taking the chestpad off a suit makes it a bit lighter, and easier to get it on & off. The pad stitching can scrape your face etc. I cut off the crotch tailpiece and removed those fasteners too. Now I don't even need to wee inside of it, can stay much fresher on multiday trips.
Yes. Get a seam ripper tool. Cut the stitches on the top of the patch.
