Re: Jersey Display Cases

Thanks for posting Dan! There is a bat rack just below this case that holds 12 bats.

I've done different things throughout the room. I have several "full" uniforms, the pictured being the best really.

Re: Jersey Display Cases

When building my wife's orthodontic practice, I had the cabinet maker build a custom display unit that showcases my game used equipment. It was with 2 removable felt inserts (black and white), allowing either a home white or road jersey to be shown against the contrasting color. It's made from cherry wood, and has UV glass on front, secured by hidden lock under the frame.

Both the children and parents enjoy seeing the different jerseys and related equipment that is frequently changed. The current display showcases Mike Schimidt's game worn home jersey, pre-game and hat. We also include a brief description of the player, the items shown and add a photo of the player wearing the same style jersey.

I suggest contacting a custom cabinet maker in your local area and have a case designed and built to your exact dimensions. Although it may cost a bit more, you'll have the perfect display vehicle.

Jersey Display suggestions

I was thinking of ways to display my jerseys. I saw the thread about the hangers and was considering that and then maybe a dry-clean bag around it to keep them from getting dusty? I have seen people with those mannequin type things where the football jersey is real tight around it which is pretty cool, but I am not sure where to find that or how much that would cost. I was also thinking about perhaps something football pads to pull them around. Can anyone give some suggestions as to how or what they did for what looks good? Pics would be preferred as a visual aid. Thanks!

I'm one of the guys that uses Mannequins, but for baseball that works good as the jerseys look natural. If I did football, I would probably consider mannequins, but I would also scout my local used Sporting Goods store for used Shoulder Pads to put under the jersey to give it the right hang and such.

As far as dust and all, it depends on where you're displaying and storing them - for my jerseys on hangers, I usually use either dry-cleaner bags or 'shoulder bags' - they cover the shoulder area to keep dust and such from collecting where the jersey lays on the hanger bar. I get those at Wa-Mart or Target where they carry hangers.

All the best -

Here are a few pics of one of my displays for my Brian Calhoun game used uniform, just have to find a way to display my helmet with it also.

Re: Jersey Display suggestions

Lighted displays using mannequins. All said and done, under $100 each.

So, did you just use simply black bookcases from like Wal-Mart or such with cheap light bars and some plexi held on by Velcro??? They look nice... I'm about to make a 'locker style' display wall in my basement with some of those cases...

Thanks!!!

Re: Jersey Display suggestions

Yes sir. Although I wired actual under-cabinet puck lights (2 in each) that are hidden by a valance I made out of one of the extra shelves. I did not use a light bar.

But yes, Wally World bookcases, plexiglass w/ velcro, a little customization, and you see how they come out. Cannot go wrong for the price.

Re: Jersey Display suggestions

Wow. Those look great. I will have to consider something like that. I know I will be moving in the next year or so, so I might hold off on something like that since that seems like it would be a pain to move.

Anyone have more of a hanging display? Also, where do you find a mannequin to put the body on?

Re: Jersey Display suggestions

I use an eBay seller for my mannequins. I use the 3/4 Hercules style in black.

Prices are fair and they offer quantity discounts as well as shipping discounts. Very nice to work with.

Jersey Display

Hey, I was just wonder people's thoughts on displaying jerseys. My auto'd ones I've been getting professionally sewn and framed up. I had a new BP gamer framed the same way.

But, as I get more, I'm thinking of going the shadow box, so I can switch them out more. I was wondering what people thought and what they prefer for their gamers?

Re: Jersey Display

Cool, thanks for the tips. Do you think it matters to have the jersey sewn vs having a frame that allows it to hang on a hanger?
