How to Frame Your New York Knicks Jersey: The Complete Guide to NBA Jersey Framing in NJ

Your Knicks jersey deserves more than a drawer. Whether it's a game-worn Jalen Brunson away jersey, a signed Patrick Ewing throwback, or a brand-new RJ Barrett replica you snagged at Madison Square Garden, professional jersey framing turns your basketball memorabilia into a stunning wall display that lasts a lifetime.

At Modern Memory Design in Hasbrouck Heights, New Jersey, we specialize in custom jersey framing with simple, upfront pricing and full-service craftsmanship — no guesswork, no hidden fees, no back-and-forth. You bring us the jersey, and we handle everything else.

Why Frame Your New York Knicks Jersey?

Every Knicks fan has that one jersey that means something. Maybe you caught it at a game. Maybe a family member gifted it. Maybe you stood in line at Modell's in 2012 for a Carmelo Anthony #7 the day of the trade.

Whatever the story, a jersey stuffed in a closet doesn't do it justice. Here's why professional framing matters:

• Protection from fading, dust, and damage. UV-protective glass shields your jersey from sunlight and environmental wear, keeping those iconic Knicks orange and blue colors vibrant for decades.
• It becomes a conversation piece. A beautifully framed Knicks jersey on your wall turns any room — a basement, office, man cave, or living room — into a personal sports gallery.
• It preserves the value. Signed jerseys especially hold their monetary and sentimental value when properly mounted and sealed in an archival-quality frame.
• It honors the moment. Framing your jersey is a way of saying this mattered to me — and giving it the presentation it deserves.

Our Jersey Framing Process: Simple, Start to Finish

At Modern Memory Design, we've stripped away the confusion that comes with custom framing. Our process is designed to be easy, transparent, and stress-free.

Here's how it works:

1. Bring in your jersey. Visit our studio at 213 Boulevard in Hasbrouck Heights, NJ. Walk-ins are welcome Tuesday through Saturday.
2. Choose your frame, mat, and layout. We'll walk you through frame styles, matting colors, and display options right at the counter. Want us to match the Knicks blue and orange? Done. Prefer something sleek and modern? We've got you covered.
3. We handle the rest. Our framers carefully pin, stretch, and mount your jersey by hand, ensuring proper fabric tension without any damage. We use conservation-grade materials and UV-protective glass on every piece.
4. Pick it up and hang it. Typical turnaround is two to three weeks. We'll call you the moment it's ready.

No complicated order forms. No confusing price tiers. Just straightforward, professional jersey framing with pricing you can see right in the studio.

Knicks Jersey Framing Examples

Classic Home Jersey — Orange and Blue Double Mat

One of our most popular setups for Knicks fans is a deep black shadow box frame with a double mat in Knicks orange over royal blue. The outer orange mat picks up the jersey's trim color while the inner blue mat echoes the team's primary. The jersey is pinned flat with the number showing, and we use museum-quality UV glass to protect the fabric.

This layout works perfectly for both replica and authentic jerseys. The shadow box depth gives the jersey breathing room so it doesn't press flat against the glass — it looks like it's floating inside the frame.

Signed Jersey — White Mat with Team Accent

For autographed Knicks jerseys, we often recommend a clean white mat with a thin blue inner border. The white background makes the signature pop and keeps the focus on the autograph. We can position the jersey so the signed area is the most prominent visual element — whether that's across the numbers, on the nameplate, or along the bottom hem.

Throwback Jersey with Memorabilia

Got a vintage Knicks jersey paired with ticket stubs, a photo, or a trading card? We build multi-opening mat layouts that incorporate your jersey alongside smaller memorabilia items. Imagine a framed 1994 Ewing jersey flanked by cutouts holding your original Finals tickets and a team photo. Everything sealed together in one cohesive piece.

Matting Options for New York Knicks Jerseys

Mat selection is where your framed jersey really becomes yours. The mat is the colored border between the jersey and the frame — and for Knicks fans, there are some classic combinations that look incredible.

Knicks Blue and Orange Double Mat

The signature look. A deep Knicks blue outer mat with an orange inner reveal frames the jersey in team colors without competing with the fabric. This is the go-to for home white jerseys where you want the Knicks identity to surround the piece.

Orange Over Black

For a bolder, more modern feel, an orange outer mat layered over a black inner mat creates high contrast and drama. This combination works especially well with the Knicks' black "City Edition" or "Statement Edition" jerseys.

Classic White with Blue Accent

A white outer mat with a thin blue inner reveal keeps things clean and gallery-style. This is ideal for signed jerseys or any piece where you don't want the matting to overpower the jersey itself. It gives the display a polished, upscale look that works in any room.

Triple Mat — Full Team Treatment

For the ultimate presentation, a triple mat in blue, orange, and white adds layered depth and a premium feel. Each mat layer creates a thin border of color, building a frame-within-a-frame effect that mirrors the energy of Madison Square Garden.

Suede and Linen Mats

We also offer suede-texture and linen-texture mats in Knicks team colors. These add a tactile richness you can see from across the room — they catch light differently than standard matboard and give the entire piece a more luxurious, three-dimensional quality.

What Size Frame Do You Need for a Jersey?

Most NBA jerseys — including Knicks replicas, Swingman editions, and authentic on-court jerseys — frame well in a standard shadow box around 32" x 40" or 34" x 42", depending on the jersey size and how much mat border you want.

Here's a general guide:

Every frame we build at Modern Memory Design is custom-cut to your specific jersey. We don't use generic pre-made frames — every piece is measured, cut, and assembled to fit your exact layout.

How Much Does It Cost to Frame a Knicks Jersey?

We keep pricing simple and competitive. When you visit our studio, we'll give you a clear quote based on the frame style, matting, and glass you choose. No surprises, no upsells, no "it depends."

Our jersey framing packages start with everything included: shadow box frame, matting, UV-protective glass, professional mounting, and hardware for hanging. You'll know the total cost before we start any work.
