Who in here has had a jersey framed??

I won my 1st sports jersey ever - a signed Dick Butkus jersey. My question is this. I am without a doubt, getting it framed. When I called my local framing shop, she posed the question to me whether I wanted it framed, or shadow-boxed. I know what the difference is, and to be honest with you, I don't know the pros and cons of either. Is there a way everyone here prefers and why?

Shadowbox- bought mine at Michaels for 79.00 and used double sided tape to hold jersey in place.

never framed one.

i did once accuse my Urlacher jersey of getting too close to my wife.

looked a lot better on her than me, anyways.

I'd try to avoid the double sided tape if at all possible

MOrning,

Shadowboxes, bought at Michaels on Sale $30 each, use pins, works awesome.

I'm in the long process of framing my own... I'm not doing the shadowbox thing, even though that's the more inexpensive way.

I've framed two of them, but did them through 'Field of Dreams' in the style they use on their Jerseys

I second that, with a minor addition.

Cut a square of cardboard that is a little wider than the shirt, and about as tall as from the shoulders to under the numbers. Stretch the jersey over the square, wrap the bottom around to the back, and presto. A very neatly presented jersey. use the pins to do the sleeves.

This is how it is done to look like this:



I've done 2. The shop will charge you an arm and a leg. Do it yourself.
