Any tips on removing the name or number from a jersey? (I once tried to remove the stitching on a sweatshirt and it took me forever and put a hole in it).

I have a few game used jersies that have junk names and numbers. Guys that played only an inning or two or guys who were a bench coach. I want to wear the jersey to a game but don't want to look like I am some no name player's super fan. I just want to wear a high quality jersey that I obtained on the cheap.
