Jersey Picture Frame Ideas: How to Showcase Your Signed Jerseys Like a Pro
Why a Jersey Picture Frame is Worth It
Looking for the perfect jersey picture frame to showcase your signed sports jersey? Whether it’s a Canucks hockey jersey, a basketball collectible, or a one-of-a-kind piece of sports memorabilia, custom framing helps preserve it and present it like a pro.
Jersey Picture Frame Styles to Choose From
Not all jersey frames are the same — choosing the right jersey picture frame style depends on your jersey size, the look you want, and how you plan to display it. Here are the most popular options we offer:
These are the most common type of jersey picture frame. The jersey is placed over an acid-free backing and surrounded by double or single matboard, creating a clean, gallery-style border. Matting can be customized to match your team’s colours.
For a modern or minimalist look, some clients prefer a jersey picture frame without matting, which focuses entirely on the jersey itself. This can be especially effective when the jersey has a bold color or signature that you want to highlight without distraction.
Want to showcase both the front and back of your jersey? A double-sided jersey frame uses a clear acrylic back panel so you can see both sides — ideal for autographed jerseys with signatures on both sides or commemorative patches.
For jerseys that exceed 28 inches shoulder-to-shoulder, we offer oversized jersey picture frames using 40×60 inch matboard. These are custom-built to accommodate large or long-cut jerseys like goalie or basketball jerseys.
Have two jerseys you want to display together? Our side-by-side jersey frames allow you to feature both in a single frame, perfect for siblings, best friends, or team milestones. You can also add matching nameplates or photos to enhance the display.
How We Frame Jerseys at Capulet Art
At Capulet Art, we take pride in the craftsmanship and care that goes into every jersey picture frame. Here’s what makes our custom framing stand out:
🖼️ Frame Style & Sizing
We use a 2 1/8-inch deep wooden frame, available in both white and black finishes, with a 1.25-inch wide face — offering a clean, professional presentation.
Our standard jersey frame fits jerseys up to 28 inches shoulder-to-shoulder and uses 32×40 inch acid-free matboard.
Finished size: approximately 33.75 x 37.5 inches (adjusted based on jersey length).
For larger jerseys, we offer an oversized jersey frame, using 40×60 inch matboard sheets, with a typical finished size of around 42 x 44 inches.
🎨 Matting & Backing
All matting and backing materials are acid-free to preserve your jersey long term.
Foam core backings come in white or black, and we help you select the right look during a design consultation.
Mat colours are chosen to match your jersey’s team colours — we’ll present various combinations so you can choose what looks best.
🧵 Mounting & Jersey Care
Jerseys are stitched to the backing, never pinned or stapled — ensuring no damage to the fabric or autographs.
We also steam the jersey around the signature area to smooth out any creases and ensure a crisp, clean finish.
UV-protective glass is recommended to guard against fading.
