How do you store a Jersey?

Rolling the jersey allows for easier storage, as it becomes very compact, but you need to make sure your storage medium controls for heat, humidity and UV light. Believe it or not, plastic bags are not a good choice, which we’ll go over shortly. Flat and unfolded is most ideal.

Why should you preserve a Jersey?

The interest in preservation can be nearly anything, either for nostalgic purposes, historical purposes, or — for some serious collectors — financial reasons, if holding on to a particular jersey in the hopes of sale at a higher price later on.

Should a Jersey be hung flat or rolled?

Unless you need to roll the jersey for long-term storage, flat is actually best. Hanging the jersey can damage the shoulders of the garment as they stretch — albeit not to an egregious degree — when draped over the hangar. Additionally, plastic garment bags can keep out UV light but can’t do much about heat or humidity.

Is glass a good option for a Jersey display case?

Glass is also good, but it is expensive and glass cases can take up significant interior space. Glass jersey display cases will press the jersey flat, making for good storage, but only a few collectors can afford the expense and space that glass displays require. Acrylic jersey display cases offer the best of all worlds for many people.
