Football Shirt Framing

Football shirt framing typically starts from around 150 to 200 pounds for a straightforward single-shirt display with standard glazing. The final cost depends on the frame material, glazing specification, whether you need a shadow box or flat mount, and any additional items such as a certificate of authenticity or medal. We provide a detailed quote before starting any work so you know exactly what to expect.

Yes. We use completely reversible mounting techniques, specifically entomology pins through a foamcore template, which means no adhesive or mechanical fixing touches the signed area. We handle all autographed shirts with cotton gloves and position the signature to minimise UV exposure. The shirt can be removed from the frame in the future with no residue or damage to the ink.

We create a custom foamcore template shaped to fit inside your shirt, then pin the shirt to the template using fine entomology pins. This method holds the shirt securely in position without any adhesive, stitching, or stapling. The pins are placed at discreet points that are not visible in the final display, and the entire process is fully reversible — the shirt can be removed at any time without damage.

Absolutely. The most popular option is a viewing panel on the reverse of the frame, allowing the certificate to be seen from behind while the shirt is displayed from the front. We can also mount the certificate alongside the shirt in a larger frame if you prefer both items visible from the same side. Either way, the certificate is mounted using acid-free materials and can be removed without damage.

Every frame is made to measure, so there is no fixed size. As a guide, a standard adult football shirt in a shadow box frame typically measures around 650mm by 800mm, though this varies depending on the shirt size and how it is displayed. Children's shirts, full kits with shorts and socks, or multi-shirt displays will require different dimensions. We measure and design the frame around your specific items.

Yes, we frame children's and youth football shirts regularly. These are popular keepsakes — a first kit, a shirt from a junior team, or a child's signed match shirt. Smaller shirts allow for more compact frame designs, and we can combine them with photos, match programmes, or other memorabilia in a single display.

Yes. We work with clients across the UK. You can post your shirt to our workshop using a tracked, insured delivery service, and we will return the completed frame to you fully packaged and protected. We provide guidance on how to package your shirt safely for transit, and we are happy to arrange collection if you prefer.

Our standard turnaround is approximately 4 weeks from the point your project is confirmed. If you need the frame sooner, we can often accommodate with a priority service, though this may carry an additional cost for overtime scheduling. We will always confirm timescales and any additional costs before starting work.

Yes. Multi-shirt displays are a popular choice for collectors, particularly for home and away shirts from the same season or a series of shirts charting a player's career. We design the layout so each shirt has its own space and can be viewed clearly. As manufacturers of oversized frames, there is no practical size limit — we have built frames holding four or more shirts in a single display.

We offer several UV-protective glazing options depending on your budget and placement. Museum-grade glass from TruVue blocks over 99 percent of UV light and is virtually reflection-free, making it the best choice for signed or match-worn shirts. Standard UV-filtering glass and acrylic options are also available at lower price points. We will recommend the right glazing based on where you plan to hang the frame and the value of the shirt.
