You could try the "WaterSlide DCT 4.5C" avaliable from TheMagicTouch. Don't know how long it would last though. Other option if its just team name is acid etch which would then be permenant.
Good Luck

Quite easy realy. Cut vinyl using CraftRobo etc and stick to glass, apply acid etch paste and leave, than simply wah off. Just make sure paste doesn't run onto glass wher it's not wanted.

If etching, ensure you really mask off the areas you don't want etched well, you have to apply the etching paste quite thick, but you can always scrape this off and put back in it's storage container for future use, it only needs to be on for 5 mins and the results are quite impressive, although on smaller glasses i found it much harder to get the sign vinyl to stick properly, this is to do with how the vinyl bulges on a tight curve and it wasn't on 100%

if the glasses are tapered, taper the vinyl, as you would a latte mug wrap if that makes sense, less bulges then
