I found the perfect post workout pants to cycle home in this winter - or so I thought. I did notice the bright red logo at the hip, which I thought would be easy enough to cover with a patch if not hidden by my top. I completely failed to notice the huge logo down the side of the one leg and alongside the ankle zipper.
I haven't posted before photos but the logo was for a local sports team and in bright red and yellow. Hard for most people to miss but I managed it. You can see the size I needed to cover in the after photo though. I was going to return them to the thrift shop, but would anyone else want them? Or were they destined for landfill?
Worth trying to get rid of the logo. I dug out some acrylic paint left over from other projects and got to work. I laid plastic inside the leg so the paint wouldn't bleed to the other side. Watering down the paint made it settle in the fabric better but required a few coats to cover the logo. I couldn't get a navy to match so decided to make the paint design intentional and used black. Waited for that to dry.
