Sports Shirt Framing
Bespoke framing for the shirts and sporting moments that matter.
Professional sports shirt framing services
Whether it represents an unforgettable match, a favourite player, a personal achievement or a thoughtful gift, a special sports shirt deserves more than a place in a drawer.
At Menor, we provide professional sports shirt framing for football shirts, rugby shirts, cricket shirts, cycling jerseys and other treasured sporting memorabilia. From signed and match-worn shirts to children’s first team kits and shirts marking important sporting milestones, every piece is carefully framed to create a display you will be proud to put on the wall.
Each bespoke shirt frame is handmade to order by our experienced picture framers. You can choose the frame style, backing colours and layout, with the option to incorporate photographs, medals, programmes, match tickets, plaques and other sporting memorabilia into the finished design.
With framing workshops in Cambridge, Sawbridgeworth and Harlow, Menor offers specialist sports shirt framing across Cambridgeshire, Essex and Hertfordshire. We can also work with customers throughout the UK, with secure delivery options available.
Turn your sporting memories into something made to be displayed.
Bespoke sports shirt framing
No two shirts - or the stories behind them - are the same. That is why we offer a completely bespoke sports shirt framing service rather than relying on standard-sized, pre-made frames.
Our experienced picture framers will help you select a layout that showcases your shirt at its best while complementing the room in which it will be displayed. Sleeves can be folded for a compact, clean presentation or extended to show the complete shape of the shirt. We can also recommend frame mouldings, mounts and backing colours that work with your team colours without overwhelming the piece.
Your shirt is secured using specialist mounting techniques, including careful hand stitching and stainless-steel pins. We never attach staples or adhesives directly to the fabric. Acid-free backing boards and mounts are used to help protect the shirt, while UV-protective glazing is available for signed, valuable or particularly treasured sports shirts. Menor’s current memorabilia-framing process also includes insurance while shirts are in its care.
Sports Memorabilia we frame
-
From signed Premier League shirts and match-worn football kits to grassroots team shirts and memorable cup-final jerseys, our bespoke football shirt framing service turns your shirt into an impressive wall display.
-
We frame professional, club, school and international rugby shirts, creating made-to-measure displays that celebrate sporting careers, significant matches and favourite teams.
-
Cricket shirts can be framed alone or displayed alongside photographs, scorecards, programmes, caps and other cricket memorabilia to commemorate a player, match, season or achievement.
-
Signed shirts and match-worn sports shirts require particularly careful handling. We protect signed areas throughout the framing process and can advise on UV-protective glazing to reduce the risk of fading caused by light exposure.
-
Sports shirt framing is not only for professional memorabilia. A first football shirt, final school-team kit or jersey from a promotion-winning season can carry enormous personal meaning. We create bespoke frames that preserve these achievements and the memories attached to them.
-
Your frame can tell a much bigger story than the shirt alone. Our bespoke box-frame designs can incorporate additional items such as:
Signed photographs
Match tickets
Event programmes
Medals and awards
Team badges
Engraved plaques
Certificates
Newspaper cuttings
Player cards
Captions, dates and match details
Our team will help you create a balanced layout that brings the different elements together without detracting from the shirt itself.
Memorabilia Framing FAQs
-
Shirts come in all shapes and sizes, that’s why our bespoke framing is ideal to ensure your frame is in the correct proportions. The size of frame will also depend on whether you have additional items included in with the shirt.
-
If possible, give your shirt a gentle wash and light iron or team before sending it to us. In some cases, this is not recommended, especially if the shirt is signed or match-worn. We will handle all shirts with care.
-
Our box style frames are ideal for this, you can combine your shirt with photos, tickets, badges, programmes, or any other memorabilia to create a truly unique frame.
-
It’s all personal preference and a lot will depend on the colours in the shirt/pieces being framed. We help guide you through the options and advise what colour ways we feel would work best.
-
Both styles look great, again it’s personal preference. Having the sleeves laid out will make the overall frame bigger, so if wall space is tight, we would recommend folding them in for a neater look.
-
With the right materials, long term fading can be kept to an absolute minimum, we always recommend not to hang your frame in direct sunlight. If you are concerned about possible light damage, please let us know and we can advise on protective UV glazing options available.
-
We use invisible specialise mounting techniques, including stainless steel pins and hand stitching, that hold the shirt securely without causing any damage to the fabric. We never use staples or adhesives directly on your shirt, which means your shirt will remain in its original condition.
-
Yes, always. All our backing boards and mounts are acid free, which will protect your shirt from yellowing or deteriorating over time.
-
Signatures are handled with extreme care throughout, we avoid all contact with signed areas and there is the option of using UV protective glazing to prevent ink from fading, if you are concerned please do mention it to us and we will be sure to advise you on the best approach.
-
Yes, all shirts in our care are fully insured throughout the framing process.
-
We recommend sending your shirt and any used items to us by recorded, trackable post. We will confirm with you once we have received it safely in our hands.
We’re quite used to arranging framing by email or phone, we can have the conversation regarding your requirements and send you photos of suggested colour ways and layouts for your approval before we start.
-
Our standard turnaround is 10-14 working days from receipt of your shirt, if it’s required sooner we will always work towards deadlines where possible.
-
