Footy Finals Fever: Frame Your Jersey and Sporting Memories with Custom Sports Memorabilia Display
September in Australia means the telly volume gets cranked up, the neighbours start yelling at each other in team colours, and someone in your family swears this will finally be their year. Yep, it’s AFL footy finals time!
We’ve all got the evidence of our love for sport tucked away somewhere. A jersey that smells faintly of Deep Heat. A shoebox of sports memorabilia with more creases than a Shar Pei. Or that team photograph where half the kids are looking the wrong way and one poor bloke forgot his socks. These things are treasures. And they deserve a frame and a proper display on the wall, not stuck in a drawer with old batteries and takeaway menus.
Jerseys that deserve better
Every jersey has a story. Maybe it’s the one you wore every week until the elbows gave out. Maybe it’s your dad’s sacred football jersey he won’t let anyone touch. Either way, these aren’t just bits of fabric. They’re sweaty, glorious symbols of loyalty and team pride. A framed jersey is an instant piece of wall decor that will stun your mates and give you bragging rights.
If you’ve got a signed jersey or an AFL jersey that you want to preserve, the right custom frame can ensure that your jersey stays in top condition for years to come. Using acid-free mats, uv-protective glass, and backing boards designed to protect your jersey from moisture, dust, and sunlight means your colours won’t fade and your passion for the game will stay vibrant. A good framer can also personalise your display with a plaque, medal, or even a matboard cut to highlight your achievement.
Match tickets and dodgy souvenirs
Remember when tickets were paper and not just a barcode on your phone? Those little mementos are like time machines. Stick a few in a frame with badges, programs, or that foam finger you thought was a good idea after three mid-strengths, and suddenly you’ve got a gallery-worthy shrine for your home or office. This kind of memorabilia like ticket stubs and collectables doesn’t just decorate the wall. It helps you protect your memorabilia while telling a story about your dedication as a sports fan and enthusiast.
Photos that tell the truth
The best photographs from the game aren’t perfect. They’re muddy, blurry, and sometimes you can’t even tell who’s who. But that’s what makes them magic. Frame the chaos. A framed photograph of your kids in Auskick, or your mates cheering at the MCG, is the kind of custom sports memorabilia display that makes you laugh every time you walk past.
Why it’s worth it
Footy isn’t just a game. It’s family, mateship, and sometimes heartbreak too. Framing also helps preserve that feeling so you can relive it whenever you need a smile. A custom sports jersey framing project does more than protect your memorabilia. It’s about honour, pride, and showcasing your favourite moments so they last for years to come. And trust us, a framed jersey on the wall is a lot more impressive than the exercise bike you never use.
At Mulbury here in Melbourne, we’ve seen it all. From premiership posters with faded signatures to junior team photos with toothless grins. From framed jerseys with plaques to DIY jersey frame attempts that needed rescuing. Every piece is a reminder of why we love sport in this country. And we reckon your treasures deserve to be seen, not shoved in a cupboard.
So this September, while the AFL and NRL finals have us all yelling at the TV, dig out those gems. Frame your sports jersey. Showcase your memorabilia. Protect your jersey for years to come. And let your dedication and passion for the game live on every time someone spots your wall display.
