Sidney Crosby Hockey Jersey Shadow Box #1
My customer received this autographed Sidney Crosby hockey jersey (Pittsburgh Penguins) from his wife as a gift to celebrate their first wedding anniversary.
A classic black shadow box moulding was paired with light grey conservation grade mats. Tru Vue's conservation clear glass was chosen for its 99% UV protection
One of the challenges when framing sports jerseys is to deal with crooked lettering. In this case, there was a lot of bulk black fabric around and between the lettering of the name "CROSBY". When I stretched out the name to try to smooth out the black fabric, it became apparent that the letters were sewn on crooked. I had to stitch around each letter to try to tack the letter in place in a straighter fashion.
