Getting marker off of boxing gloves

My coach recently got new sparring gloves for the gym, so he needed to make room and got rid of the old ones. That's where I came in. He gave me an old pair and told me to use them. They got permanent marker all over them for, you know, marking them as gym property. Well I'm not too fond of it and I want the black permanent marker off of them. The gloves are red ringside gloves, if that makes any difference at all. Is there any way to get this permanent marker off? Mind you these are a very old pair of gloves, still usable, but old, so the markers been on it for years. Thanks in advance.
