framing jerseys
Anyone have any suggestion on a inexpensive nice way for framing a jersey yourself. I would love to have them custom framed but the funds just arent there. I been building my player collection and want to start displaying them. If anyone can share there ideas or examples.

Re: framing jerseys
Page 18 of this thread shows how I did mine. I had the same deal as you with the $$$ concerns. Also the size of retail frames was an issue (not big enough).
All said and done you can do this for under $100 if you're savvy...

Re: framing jerseys
I used to work at a museum and we had artifacts including clothes hanging. I can tell you your frame (over time) will do more damage then good due to the stress of the jesery on the shoulders. It also will change shape due to this which can not be set back.
Also is that tubing that touches the jersey acid free?

Re: framing jerseys
I know some collectors like to frame their game worn jerseys, and it's up to each person to decide their own preference, but I much prefer the 3 dimension aspect of seeing jerseys displayed on partial mannequins. To me, much of the joy of owning a game worn jersey is the ability to look at all of it and inspect the various aspects of wear to the jersey. Just something to consider.

Since you used to work at a museum, what do you think of these two Homeplate Heroes shadowboxes? I own the first one and am thinking of buying the second:

Re: framing jerseys
All that was, was to show the finished product (frame). I just tossed some jerseys over a bent hanger so you guys get the idea of how they would/could look. When it came to the final touches to hang the jerseys, different hangars were used. And yes, they're all archival quality/shape.
But thanks for the tip.

Re: framing jerseys
Project shadow box is the best way to go. I can recommend some really cheap ones that I use. They come with clear hanger. I buy NFL shield stickers and dolphins logo stickers and an 8x10 and they look beautiful. They even have slots to put the 8x10 so it doesn't fall over inside the box. Perfect size for football jersey.
