I want to donate old work shirts, but I don't want people to be mistaken for employees there. How do I remove the logos? - eviltoast

I have a lot of tshirts from companies I used to work for, but I don’t wear them anymore. I was going to give them away, but I’m worried random people wearing work uniforms might cause problems down the line. Some are construction companies, which I’m not too worried about, but the retail shirts are my concern. Is there a way to remove the text on them so they’re just regular solid colored shirts? I want to say the logos are screenprinted but I don’t think they were, and I can’t remember the name of any other printing processes that aren’t just stitching them in.

    Maybe to personal but what companies did you work for? Because there are markets for employee clothing and depending on what or who it is they can earn you big bucks.

      I’m mostly worried about the Harbor Freight shirts, cause there’s one down the street from the clothing bin I usually drop stuff in. The construction contractors not so much cause outside of construction sites, no one really says anything about em

        If it’s just HF and you didn’t sign any paperwork on the matter when you worked there, it’s probably fine. If you signed paperwork, consult an attorney yadda yadda yadda.

        It’d be one thing if you worked in an industry where those uniforms might give you actual access somewhere (police, fire, EMS, etc), but this is not that.
