Jersey Framing or Shadowbowing?

[14]

I went with Post #26 method last year and I luv it. Have 4 set up in my man cave. That method allows me to change Jerseys throughout the year depending on the season and players I want to promote or ones that are good luck charms. Can also move the location around with the hooks.

Thanks tvp2003!!

I got the smaller ones when they had a 2 for 1 deal; around $150 for both sounds about right.

Just as an update - we did end up looking at Michaels for this, as the cheapest quote we got was for $550, which is more than one of the parties wanted to spend...well, and myself included.

We ended up buying a shadow box from Michaels that was on sale for $120, and they did the actual framing in that box for around $90 additional, so $210 all-in. They don't really advertise that, as they want to do the customs, but I just picked it up today, and it looks great. Flames jersey with all player signatures 2018-2019.

Can you post a pic?

Not a great photo, as I was just taking a quick one to send it to my brothers after I picked it up.

NSFW!

And now the interwebs knows what I look like.

Made with an ikea curtain rod and an extra large binder clip -- cost me less than $3.00. Here are the instructions:

Spoiler!

Here's what you'll need:

1) Ikea RACKA curtain rod (70x120cm / 28x47"):



It also comes in white and silver but I prefer black. They cost $1.99.

2) A standard 1" binder clip (I put a measuring tape in the photo for reference):



3) A standard mug hook (I used a 1.25"); they can be purchased in the hardware section:



The beauty of the RACKA curtain rod is that it comes out of the package
at 27" (it is extendable), which is almost the exact width of a standard
NHL hockey jersey (shoulder seam to shoulder seam, size 56). I don't
have any Edge jerseys but I imagine the sizing is comparable.

Installation literally takes five minutes or less. Start by inserting the rod into the jersey:



Once it is centered, clip on the binder clip in the middle:



Pull both "prongs" down, and then rotate the rod so the prongs face upwards:



And presto -- your jersey is ready to hang! The mug hook screws right
into the wall (no anchor needed) and your jersey hangs nicely (the binder
clip securely holds the rod without tipping or shifting):



Finished product:



Comparable to other jersey display rods for a fraction of the cost. Enjoy!

Thanks for sharing this. I plan on framing some when I develop my basement but until then they're just hung on coathagers in my spare room and look like crap. I'll definitely change to this method

No problem. I've found that method works better for the old CCM style jerseys (versus the more tapered Reebok Edge style jerseys). So you might want to tinker with the "bar" that goes across, especially if you have a smaller jersey (the one I have displayed is an authentic size 56, so the ikea curtain rod I used ended up being the perfect length).
