How to remove decals from helmets and make stickers that are easy to remove.

Question:  When putting decals on a Football Helmet Visor, how do you remove the black decals that come on the visor?

If the sticker or decal that is on the visor is an easy peel vinyl, it should remove easily, but if it’s a standard adhesive, it can be difficult to remove.
