To make any changes you obviously need to try and make it realistic. So you need to know something about perspective and shading for a start.
Parts of the original, say the numbers, can be cloned out
https://docs.gimp.org/en/gimp-tool-clone.html
But you need to keep those important folds and creases and their shading, and each image is different.
A suitable logo can be planted as a layer on top and deformed with various tools, maybe
iwarp https://docs.gimp.org/en/plug-in-iwarp.html
or using part of that desaturated layer as a displacement map https://docs.gimp.org/en/plug-in-displace.html
None of this is very easy for a beginner.
Text on the helmet for example can be bent to shape using the curve bend tool
https://docs.gimp.org/en/plug-in-curve-bend.html
Back to needing some artistic ability, of which I am sadly lacking.
You do really need a larger image to work with.
thanks. I will have to practice
