Many sports fans celebrate the best season of their favourite team or player by buying a replica of their jerseys. On the other hand, some fans are lucky (or rich) enough to get the actual jersey that was used by their favourite player.
Most of these fans would love to display their prized possession but want to keep it safe at the same time. If you are one of them, your best option is jersey framing. Putting a jersey in a frame is not as simple as you might think. The task should be left at the hands of the professional. Doing it by yourself may cause unpleasant results, and worst, you may damage your expensive jersey.
The below tips will help you if you want your jersey to be framed.
Clean the jersey
If the jersey that you want to be framed is brand new, you are lucky! Otherwise, you have to make sure that it is as clean as possible. This is especially true if the jersey has been used in a game. Bacteria speeds up the fabric’s fading process, so make sure that you get rid of them before framing.
When washing the clothes, make sure that you follow all the washing instructions outlined on the jersey to avoid any damage. If your prized jersey has a sign on it, you are lucky! You have to do whatever it takes to protect the ink.
Choosing the right frame
It may sound easy, but choosing the right frame can be complicated as you need to consider some things to get the best results.
Frame size
You need to determine the right size of your frame. You have to make sure that it has enough space for all your needs. Measure the jersey and think about the space that will keep the jersey from the frame. You may also want to put some objects along with the jersey, such as sponsor logos, photos, notes, inscriptions.
UV glass
You want to preserve your prized jersey colour, and protecting it against the harmful UV rays is another thing you should consider. With this in mind, the acrylic cover would be the best choice as it could keep the jersey from UV rays along with some benefits.
Acrylic is lighter and stronger than glass. It is also safer as it can’t shatter the way a glass can. Moreover, it is less reflective compared to glass, so you can enjoy a full view of everything inside the frame even if it is placed in direct light.
Frame colour
Choose a jersey framing colour that would enhance the colour of your jersey. You must also consider the colour of the wall where the frame is going to be hung and how it would complement the things around it.
Background colour
You need to consider the colour of your frame’s background and how it will contrast or complement the jersey’s colour. If the jersey has a dark colour, you may choose a background with bright colour. Show your prized jersey to the world by hanging it on your wall through a nice frame. These jerseys don’t deserve to be kept hidden. After all, you paid hefty cash to get it, so you have to be proud of it!
