If you put goof off on it, I'd think you really should wash the jersey, that stuff is pretty intense, I use it at work to take label residue off of display racks/beams at it often takes some of the paint off too!!.....I'd be worried that the areas that have the goof off on it will dis-color over time, or may even affect the polyester, if it came in a metal can rather than plastic, I'd be especially worried

HEY PEOPLE, wanted to thank everyone for their suggestions...after carefully trying ice then alcohol then goof off I can tell you goof off did work..I tried it on some tape inside the jersey, but then my wife suggested a lint brush the kind with a sticky surface..that worked GREAT!

Was able to get all the tape off without washing jersey!

Now I am attempting to purchase a mannequin to proudly display the jersey, matching pants batting gloves and game used bat....

This should be the easy part......thanks again and I might add this board is great in helping out all us Game Used collectors with issues like the one I had!

Glad it all worked out, my man. Now - where are those pics you promised?

Thanks guy for all the help now to tackle the jersey!

I use Wallstars out of Broken Arrow, OK for framing jerseys. They do not use glue or sew anything on your jersey. If you ever wanted to remove your jersey simply take it out and thats, that.

Great people. Website is www.wallstars.com
Tell them Eric from the Chicago shows says hi if you go with them.

Potent stuff ain't it?! LOL. I get 'the look' from the wife every time I use that stuff in the house.

Great Point - USE OUTDOORS!

Yeah, a little strong. I just leave the jersey on the garage for an hour or so and the smell is pretty much gone.

I've recycled a few white Steelers retail jerseys and the numbers leave a black shadow. Takes a little work, but this stuff will clean them up. Have also removed NOB residue that was decades old.

There's also an extra stength Goo Gone, that is more like Goof Off. I've used that to remove glue residue along with Goof Off. Use outdoors. I washed the jersey not long after cleaning.

Re: Getting Tape And Glue Off Jersey...???

I would not recommend GOOF OFF for removing sigs on a baseball. The general properties of the hide used in baseballs allow the ink to penetrate into the material. The amount of GOOF OFF you would have to use to get a clean look would just ruin the baseball.

I guess you could try it on a baseball you have laying next to your glove for catch and see how it works, but just don't go tearing off on a collectors item.

Thanks for infos.


Guess I can give the ball away to some kid who will appreciate the signed baseball. Hopefully, I dont have to explain who's who on the ball.

Would it work on signed baseballs - with permanent marker or point pen?

Got some regretable signatures on some commemorative baseballs ....

I'd say Goo Gone would probably leave a stain if used on a baseball.
