Post your best Jersey Designs

[TGFU]

Reading the recent thread regarding the time involved in jersey shadowboxes made me think about starting a thread to show your favorite jersey designs. I don't mind doing jerseys, but am never satisfied with how my football jerseys turn out...especially the sleeves. I have a few football jerseys to do right now. So, if you want to include some of your best football designs, it might help me get some creative ideas.

Here are a few of my favorite basketball jersey boxes.

I've shown this before but it is an attention getter because of the bubble!

Framing of Jerseys (properly) is not as easy as some framers think - - -
The designs shown in this thread are well thought out & have incredible "eye appeal"
Kudos to "Boxer 1" for the "Basketball 3-Piece Set" & the "Yankees Jersey" GREAT design!!!

Great designs.

Benny Feilhaber is a professional soccer player. I often frame stuff for his Mom including jerseys. She only likes to see the team emblem from the back of the shirt, which makes for a rather different design! Here are a couple of examples:

Andrew, those are so elegant! They almost remind me of a coat of arms I would see hanging in a dining room.

Wow love not showind the whole thing i get tired of trying things with the sleeves to make them smaller or cooler. That is great!

Another Yankees jersey

Great jerseys, everyone!

Here's a Yankees jersey I just recently completed. The background mat is not black, but is actually Navy Blue.

 

[Ack Cents In Framing]

All VERY impressive. I don't have any pictures of any jerseys I have framed, but we do quite a few Highschool football and NAHL Outlaws Hockey Jerseys (our regional team) Jersey's are a great place to show creativity, but can be very challenging.

Andrew:

Excellent design idea for sport jersey shadowboxes! Very creative indeed.

PS: Good to see the logo of the Hamburg soccer club (HSV) again...

We've done about a dozen for this guy, he wanted them all to look similar even though they are all different teams. With so many size was a concern hence the number and name only showing.

Negro League Baseball Jacket

Hi,

I have been following this thread since this morning...a customer has brought me an antique jacket from the Negro League. I haven't done a shadow box in several years (my former business partner handled them). Would anyone like to refresh my memory about the best method of mounting them? The customer does not want the jacket to be pulled taught. In other words I need to maintain some of the puffiness. I have heard of framers putting tissue paper inside the body and sleeves. Another framer on the grumble says she cuts a rag mat to the shape of the jacket so that it requires less stitches to hold in place. I need to show an emblem on one of the sleeves, so both sleeves will be in front. Any suggestions are welcome!

Thanks!

Allison

(1) Tissue paper will collapse/flatten over time ... better to use polyester batting

(2) Yes, cut a former to support the jacket ... otherwise it will sag on it stitches over time

(3) Alternatively for a "natural look" hang the jacket from an acrylic hanger secured to the top rail of the shadowbox.

Yankees Again

here's a signed Don Mattingly Jersey, with hand painted pinstriped frame

 

[Hired Help]

My first.

Not proud of the "pinched" look on the sleeves. But I have learnt to do better thanks to the Grumble.

Not the best but they are recent!~

The jersey
Frame 13-9692 Lewinter with a 1" spacer.
I used a piece of acid free black foam board used as inside form of jersey.

Used 1577 cres black mat used the surface paper to back the KSU letters & numbers.
The photos were framed in 1/2" Lewinter black moulding and 1577 crescent mat .
They were screwed from the back with (4)8x1/2" screws with small amount of maxium glue on the frame & mat board. Conservation Clear glass.

Sorry could not figure out how to turn the one but it is a T- shirt not a jersey .
It was streched & pinned (s/s T pins) around the acid free backing.
The patches were sewn on.
The picture was mounted on 63297 crescent then it was cut as a drop out on the Wizard it was mounted to the white side so if you look close there is a 1/16 white line then the black 1/8 black bevel.
Then I mounted it to an undersizes piece of 1/8 Blackfoam board.
Then I took needle & thread up through the backing.
Through the first layer of paper on the back of foamcore in all four corners and pulled the threads tight and tied off & glued to the back side of the backing.

I did this one recently, used the Wizard trace feature to cut the Falcons logos out of black and red suede, hand painted the grass mat with the field lines, red linen mat openings, divided shadowbox walls, jersey sitting on top of a big white mat 5, on black mat. I like it, anyway.
