Q&A for How to Frame a Jersey

You should hand wash it or take it to the dry cleaners. You can also frame it so that you do not have to worry about washing it.

You can, but the hold won't be as strong as it would be if you sewed or pinned it, so there is a risk of it falling down.

Place it (or the JSA number) in the bottom-right corner of your frame. This ensures your jersey view isn't obstructed.

You can frame a jersey to show both the front and back by using either a double-sided frame or folding the jersey. Both options allow you to showcase key details from both sides of the jersey in a stylish way.

Order a large picture that is big enough to fill the frame and be readable.

No, it does not matter if it's just for display in your room. However, if you want to professionally showcase it, I suggest having the front facing out.

To secure the jersey to the backing board in your frame, you can use double-sided tape on the corners or edges, fabric glue for a strong hold, sewing for a secure attachment, Velcro strips for easy removal, or decorative tacks or pins, though they may leave small holes.

That may not work. Consider using a shadow box, as a regular frame is too thin for thick fabric and wouldn't close properly.

If you are displaying the full jersey, use a frame around 40" x 32" (inches). This size provides sufficient space to showcase the front or back of the jersey without crumpling the fabric.

The tape holds the fabric in place while you pin the neck, sleeves and bottom. This technique is especially useful for flexible, silky or thin fabrics which tend to roll and slide.The tape provides an anchor, which allows for more accurate pinning.
