Ok, I tried the razor method, but it laughed in my face. Now I come for some aid. I have McDavid knee and elbow pads. They have this plastic-ish or [vinyl label](https://www.gbfans.com/shop/pack-vinyl-labels) for the logo. Costume reference here: The kneepads I am trying to modify are found on Mcdavid’s website. Most sports gear has a similar type of logo, as I made a Sub Zero costume a while back, and ran into the same problem…but solved it by sharpie-ing the logo away. They were leg shinguards so it wasn’t a big deal. These are more visible, and I’d like to do a better job on them. Any ideas on how to remove these logos? Would an extremely hot water work? How about some kind of chemical or remover from a retail store? Or just good old patience, and a decent kind of razor… Thanks a bunch. ---

Harry . . . Your [flight suit](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/uniform) is looking good ,but why the knee pads at all. . . A little to much but hey its your costume. . As far as the labels go. . Try using an old iron ,after all heat is how there aplied in the first place. . Use an old Iron you dont care about as the label my stick and burn if you not careful ---

Actually, I used an Iron not too long ago today, and figured it out. It practically liquified the sticky logo into mush…and with a dulled razor, I scraped it off. And the knee pads are because I tend to be a “stunt” ghostbuster, and I’ll take a knee at a convention, or public event, quite often. Otherwise, for just hanging out and walking around, it’s no pads for the knee. Those are just for the “active” days chasing ghosts. More of a personal choice, really. I just know when I do something, I’ve got energy and act a ■■■■, and in this case, can get away with knee pads because they “could” be part of the uniform. ---

There were a lot of different modified picks I made for this costume. I’m not a strong believer in 100% through and through screen accurate costumes. It’s MY costume. If I were to be a ghostbuster, this is how I’d wear it. Look at the difference between the 4 main GB’s as it is, and costume wear. Venkman doesn’t wear the gloves half the time, or have half the ■■■■ on his belt, and there are other changes and differences too. Lewis wore earmuffs…😛 It’s cold outside. So, I did the Knee pads only for recreational and activity purposes. I also have different boots for that reason…they’re not the shiny military style you’d see on screen, but in fact some new, awesome jump boots that have a tennis shoe feel to them, while still being as epic as necessary. But again,thanks Skully for your input and assistance. Much appreciated! ---

That is quite the hose connector! ---

Thanks. Rigged it out of random parts from home depot. I’d say not too bad. I’ve painted it since, as well as colored the hose. I may post a new pic later. Working on [ecto goggles](https://www.gbfans.com/shop/mattel-ecto-goggles) and [proton pack](https://www.gbfans.com/wiki/equipment/proton-pack) soon.
