Jersey Display Cases

Re: Jersey Display Cases

Hey Metsfan,

I have a frame like this and just bought a new jersey. Did you do anything to hold the jersey to the mat or is it just pressure between the glass and mat? Thanks!

The jerseys are pinned to the mat with regular tailor pins. I tap them through the jersey on to the mat and then bend them with a needle nose plier on the back of the mat. I used to just have them pressed on but if you look at the Alfonzo jersey they start to drop and wrinkle after a while. I was talking to the counter guy at a local Michael's store and he suggested that I pin the jersey to the mat, it has worked well for me so far.

The jersey over time would be ok like that??If it's pressed against the glass/plexi glass..

Re: Jersey Display Cases

They are very easy to hang, they come with two little brackets that go attached to the back panel of the frame and a wire that you attach to the brackets. Put up a hook or a screw on the wall and you are all set.

The quality is not bad. Most of the frames were purchased about 2 years ago and they are solid wood they are very sturdy and the quality was great. The new ones I purchased recently are made of compressed wood but they are still OK, once they are up on tha wall they look just as good as the others.

Metsfan - Were those Ikea frames easy to hang? I purchased a cheap version from Hobby Lobby once, and it was not the best quality.

Re: Jersey Display Cases

bow down to the king!!!...wow,that is the most impressive display ive ever seen...i am so jealous

I have to get some better lighting in my basement, but these pics will have to do. I just built seven "lockers" in my basement. I just framed them up with 2x4's and then used tongue and groove (pine) carsiding...just like the cieling. I think it ended up looking pretty cool. Easy to do and relatively inexpensive.

Re: Jersey Display Cases

Never thought about using Ikea for frames. Completely forgot about them.

Re: Jersey Display Cases

Bigstig .. Looks Great ! I wish I had the room to do 4 of them.
I may have to go with building the Lockers like another guy did on here so I can make them 20 inches wide. I wish I could do the slat wall idea but it costs too much. I hate having 4 great jerseys and not being able to display them at the moment.

Re: Jersey Display Cases

Jays1fan - I know this has taken much longer than I thought, but I did the rods, and here is a pic - I think it looks MUCH MUCH better!! The Aluminum (so they won't rust) rods, they are 2ft long and 1/8 inch thick. They definately make the jersey display wider, goes further down the sleeve. I did put masking tape over the ends of the rods so the rods won't tear through the jersey. I also added the hook on the side of the locker to hang hats or anything else.

BIGSTIG- Thanks again for the tip, I like how it turned out and can't beat the cost!

It's a simple an cheap way to display quite a few items together. Looks like you need a few more

Happy Holidays!!

Re: Jersey Display Cases

Took a little idea from a member with the Wal Mart bookshelf idea. Just need to add a little more to it to for the final touches.
