How to frame your soccer jersey safely and without damage?

Spread your favorite jersey flat on the table, and the name, number and logo can’t wait to be displayed. However, the most overlooked thing at this point is often not how to look good, but rather: will this jersey still be safe to come out of the frame in the future? Before you begin to frame it, you have to figure out the location of the jersey on hand-is it just 1 an ordinary fan version, or is it a precious collection with star signature, drop-off certificate, or even historical value?

Let’s see if we can do the job ourselves.

If it’s a regular jersey, you can look at the wash label first, wash it according to the instructions above, and be sure to dry it thoroughly. Next, carefully check the number, logo or print on it for signs of peeling, cracking or falling off. Don’t seal clothes with moisture or loose prints directly into the frame, otherwise it will be troublesome to check and deal with them later.

Be extra careful with the signature or landing version.

If you are facing an old jersey with a signature, a player’s drop-off version or a year old jersey, the routine is different. Any process of cleaning, mending or even mounting could change the way it is. Before you do it, you have to figure out what exactly you want to keep: an autograph, a match mark, an authentic fold, or a full pattern on the front. In addition, the game background, player information, dates, and turnover records about this jersey are best kept with the jersey. You know, mounting itself can not prove the authenticity of clothes. If this jersey is priceless or the fabric is already fragile, the safest way is to ask a professional textile protection expert to evaluate it first.

Give the fabric enough support and leave room for breathing

Find a clean plane to unfold the jersey, first determine which neckline, number or team badge you want to reveal, then adjust the positions of sleeves and hem to leave as few dead folds as possible. The support inside the frame must be able to hold up the whole jersey, and never let the 1 small part of the garment bear the full weight. In addition, the material in direct contact with the fabric must be chemically stable, acid-free and non-fading. It is absolutely impossible to use glue to stick clothes on the back plate in order to save trouble.

When picking a frame, thickness (depth) is also a hard indicator. Glass or acrylic panels should never be pressed directly on the jersey, especially those with raised numbers, team badges and signatures. Before finally sealing the frame, take a side look to confirm that there is still a gap between the fabric and the panel. By the way, check again if the clothes are pulled too tightly or have new obvious creases. If you find that you have to press hard to close the frame, then change the display method quickly and don’t plug it hard.

After the wall can not be done once and for all

The place of the hanging frame is very particular. It is necessary to avoid direct light, humidity and high temperature as far as possible, and to consider dust prevention and environmental pollution. For those collectible jerseys, it is best not to hang them outside for an indefinite period of time. Even if it is an ordinary jersey, you should pay more attention to it and regularly look at the state of prints, team badges and fabrics. Once you find that the clothes are discolored, decorated and glued, or the panel does not know how to stick to the clothes, take it off and open it for inspection. Don’t regret it until it is broken.

To summarize

The standard is actually very simple: the jersey is fully supported, the panel does not touch the clothes, and it can be taken out for appreciation at any time in the future. If you can’t do these three points, listen to my 1 advice and don’t rush to seal the box.
