Matting can get intense as your can go up to even triple mat and its costly too. Most simple framing jersey style is single mat with color your like to complement your jersey. 

Another thing about matting you can have it custom cut to any window opening and even you can include multiple openings to include your action shots from your sport. to keep cost down i would recommend as a framer to keep it simple just have rectangle mat opening with one frame

Jersey frame Backing

What color would your like your mat background to be on ? This selection can be any color and i believe its more fun to have cool color as background vs mat outlining your jersey in the frame. You can pick any color to complement your jersey, think colors in terms of your home and way jersey colors and go with that. shadow box will need walls to hold glass in place and for that color go with same color as your background color

Glass type for framing jersey

If your going to have this jersey for a lifetime so lets protect it , simple regular glass will look ok but not give any protection and have a lot of glare and reflection specially if you choose darker matting for the frame.

This cost of framing jersey might be pricy but worth it, you will have a clear view.
