How We Build Your Jersey Frame
We use custom frame shop quality materials and professional-grade construction. Design a shadow box frame with team colors for football, basketball, hockey, baseball, soccer, and WNBA jerseys, plus boxing trunks, UFC trunks, concert tour tees, and signed gear in every size.
Frame Depth and Jersey Sizing
Adult jerseys with standard mesh or knit construction typically need 1.5 inches of depth when folded to show the front with sleeves tucked behind. Heavier fabrics like authentic on-field football jerseys or hockey sweaters may need the full 2 inches. Women's and WNBA jerseys fit the same depths as adult sizes. Youth jerseys can often fit in 1 inch of depth thanks to their smaller cut and thinner material. Boxing trunks, UFC trunks, and concert tour tees fit the full 2-inch depth so waistbands and folds sit cleanly. Frame exterior dimensions for a standard adult jersey display run from 28x34 up to 32 by 40 inches (or 40 by 32 inches), the largest size that ships by standard carrier; goalie and size-58 jerseys step up to the 34x42 oversize frame, depending on how much jersey you want visible and how wide a mat border you prefer.
Matting and Interior Presentation
Triple Mat Benefits
- Pick your top mat, bottom mat, and backing color
- 165+ team colors plus black and white options
- Custom frame shop quality mats keep colors bright for years
Jersey frames pair especially well with double matting in team colors. The outer mat establishes the dominant team color while the inner accent mat (typically 1/4-inch reveal) picks up a secondary color from the logo or stripe. All mat boards are acid-free with beveled cut edges. A fabric-wrapped interior option is also available in select colors for a premium textile look behind the jersey.
Professional Mounting Kit Included
Every jersey frame ships with a complete mounting kit so you can mount your jersey at home like a pro. No frame shop visit needed. Here is how it works:
1. Trace
Lay your jersey flat on the included mat board stiffener sheet. Trace the outline of your jersey with a pencil.
2. Cut
Cut along the traced line with scissors. This stiffener board slides inside your jersey so it holds its shape in the frame.
3. Secure
Place the stiffened jersey on the backing board. Use the included pre-threaded needle and thimble to tack it in place with a few simple stitches along the seams.
4. Frame
Slide the backing board into the shadowbox, close the back, and hang. The whole process takes about 15 minutes.
Everything you need to mount like a pro, included in the box. Mat board insert, pre-threaded needles, and thimble.

Add a Brass Plaque
Add a brass plaque with custom text. Great for player names, jersey numbers, game dates, or special messages. Plaques are mounted on the mat so they don't cover your jersey.
Standard and Oversize Frames
Standard frames fit most jerseys up to 32x40 inches. Larger jerseys or wider mat borders need oversize frames. Our designer shows you the price for your exact size.
What Can You Frame?
Our shadow boxes fit football, basketball, hockey, baseball, and soccer jerseys in adult, women's, WNBA, oversized, and youth sizes. They also frame boxing trunks, UFC trunks, concert tour tees, band gear, and high school or college jerseys. Add a brass plaque to mark special dates, scores, or achievements.
Jersey Frames by Sport
Every sport has a different jersey cut, weight, and fabric, so the right frame size, depth, and matting changes with it. Here is what we recommend for the five jerseys we frame most often, plus the non-traditional gear our customers send in alongside them.
Football Jersey Frames
Football jerseys are the heaviest and bulkiest jerseys we frame. An adult NFL replica or authentic jersey (size L or XL) fits a 32x40 jersey frame with a 3-inch mat border, which leaves the chest numbers, team wordmark, and one folded sleeve number clearly visible. Authentic on-field jerseys built for shoulder pads need the full 2-inch interior depth because the chest panel sits higher than the rest of the fabric. College and high school football jerseys typically fit a 28x34. Pair with double matting in your team's primary and accent colors. Add a brass plaque for the player name, jersey number, season, or game date.
Basketball Jersey Display Cases
Basketball jerseys are lighter, shorter, and sleeveless, which gives you a wider range of layouts in a basketball jersey display case. Adult NBA and WNBA jerseys (size S to XL) fit either a 28x34 or 32x40 depending on how wide a mat border you want. The mesh and knit fabrics fold flat with 1.5 inches of depth, though we recommend the full 2 inches if the jersey is signed and you want to keep the autograph from pressing against the glass. Tank-style cuts show the team city script, player name, and number prominently, so a single mat with a 1/4-inch reveal of a team accent color usually frames the jersey better than a heavy triple-mat treatment. Youth jerseys fit a 24x30 for compact cuts or a 28x34 for larger youth sizes.
Hockey Jersey Shadow Boxes
Hockey sweaters are the thickest jerseys we frame, which is why a true hockey jersey shadow box matters more here than for any other sport. The polyester double-knit and air-knit fabrics used by the NHL and most pro leagues are dense, and the shoulder yokes, captain's “C” or “A” patches, fight strap, and lace-up collar all add height that a standard frame cannot accommodate. Adult NHL jerseys (typically size 52 to 56) fit a 32x40 with the full 2-inch interior depth; size 58 and goalie cut jerseys run wider and usually need a 34x42 oversize frame. Vintage wool sweaters benefit from the full depth as well so the weave stays uncompressed.
Baseball Jersey Frames
Baseball jerseys split cleanly into two groups: authentic on-field jerseys built from heavier double-knit polyester, and replica jerseys cut from lighter mesh. Both fit a 28x34 or 32x40 jersey frame. The button-front cut and front placket put the team script or city name at the center of the frame, which pairs especially well with pinstripe layouts in a double mat that picks up the pinstripe color. Many vintage wool and flannel-era jerseys need the full 2-inch depth because the weave has more loft than modern fabric. Add a second mat opening for a signed baseball, ticket stub, or program cover from the same game.
Soccer Jersey Frames
Soccer kits are the lightest and most compact jerseys we frame, so they sit comfortably in smaller layouts. An adult Premier League, La Liga, MLS, or international kit (size S to L) fits a 28x34 jersey frame with a 2.5-inch mat border. Youth club kits and academy jerseys fit a 24x30. The polyester engineered-knit fabric folds flat with only 1.5 inches of depth, and the front sponsor logo, club crest, and sleeve patches usually align in a way that benefits from a single wide mat rather than a triple stack. World Cup and tournament jerseys with commemorative patches are popular candidates for the brass plaque add-on so the match, score, or final result lives permanently below the kit.
Boxing Trunks, UFC Trunks & Concert Tour Tees
The same jersey display case build also handles the non-jersey gear customers ask about most: boxing trunks, UFC fight shorts, MMA gear, and concert tour t-shirts. Trunks and fight shorts fit a 24x30 or 28x34 with the full 2-inch depth so the waistband and gathered fabric sit cleanly off the glass. Concert tour tees fit the same range, and a black or charcoal mat usually frames band artwork better than a team-color treatment. Both categories take the brass plaque well for the fight date, venue, or tour year. Use the designer's black and white mat options instead of the 165 team colors when the gear isn't sports-related.
Common Questions
What frame size do I need for an adult jersey?
A standard adult football, basketball, hockey, or baseball jersey (size L or XL) displays well in a 32x40-inch frame with a 3-inch mat border. This leaves enough room to show the full front with the sleeves folded to the sides. Women's, WNBA, and smaller adult jerseys (size S or M) often fit in a 28x34-inch frame, and most youth jerseys do too. Boxing trunks, UFC trunks, and concert tour tees fit a 24x30 to 28x34-inch frame depending on the size. If you want to add a nameplate, photo, or ticket stub alongside the jersey, size up to 32 by 40 inches (or 40 by 32 inches) to make room for the extra openings.
How do I prevent the jersey from sagging over time?
Each frame includes a mat board stiffener sheet. Trace your jersey shape, cut it out, and slide it inside the jersey. This gives the fabric structure so it holds its shape for years. Then use the included pre-threaded needle to tack the stiffened jersey to the backing board with a few stitches along the seams.
Can I include other memorabilia in the jersey frame?
Yes. The mat can be cut with additional openings for photos, trading cards, ticket stubs, or engraved nameplates. Specify the size and position of each extra opening when you place your order. Each opening is precision cut with the same beveled edge as the main jersey opening. Small three-dimensional items like pins or medals can be mounted directly to the foam backing within those openings.
How do I add a brass plaque to my jersey frame?
Add a plaque in our designer. Type your custom text and we mount it on the mat. It won't cover your jersey.
What's the difference between standard and oversize jersey frames?
Standard frames fit most jerseys up to 32x40 inches. Larger jerseys need oversize frames. Our designer shows pricing for both.
Are these frames suitable for both sports and concert jerseys?
Yes. Frame football, basketball, hockey, baseball, soccer, and WNBA jerseys in adult, women's, oversized, and youth sizes. They also fit boxing trunks, UFC trunks, concert tour tees, band gear, and school jerseys. Use team colors or pick black and white mats for non-sports gear.
What size jersey shadow box do I need for a basketball or football jersey?
Adult basketball jerseys and football jerseys (sizes L to XL) fit a 32x40 jersey shadow box. Use a 3-inch mat border. Youth jerseys fit a 24x30 or 28x34 jersey frame. The designer suggests a jersey display case size from the dimensions you enter.
What is the best jersey shadow box frame for a baseball or hockey jersey?
Adult baseball jerseys and hockey jerseys (sizes L to XL) fit a 32x40 jersey shadow box frame. The 2-inch interior depth gives room to fold the sleeves behind the body and pin the jersey flat. For thick hockey jersey fabric, use the full 2-inch depth so the texture stays soft.
