I think "vandalize" would be a better choice, unless the statue figures in some religious rite. (Entirely possible, I guess.)

What, no real heroes Philly? Really? Instead of Rocky, I'd take a chance and put a Pens jersey on the statue of Frank Rizzo.

What sort of zany comeback could we expect- some jagoff from the Northeast putting a Lindros jersey on the statue of Franco Harris at Pittsburgh International?

I think not.
