How to Display a Texas Tech Jersey at Home: Hang, Frame or Box

The three practical ways to display a Texas Tech jersey at home are hanging it on a wide wall hanger, mounting it flat in a jersey frame, or folding it into a shadow box with a few keepsakes. Hanging is quickest and lets you still wear it; a frame shows the full back; a shadow box tells a story. Pick based on whether the jersey is retired from game days or still in rotation.

Before you choose: is it a wear-it or a keep-it jersey?

Settle this first. A jersey you still pull on for kickoff should go somewhere easy to reach. A jersey that marks a season or a personal milestone, such as a custom Texas Tech name and number throwback in red with your own name across the back, may deserve a more permanent setup.

Method 1: Hang it on the wall

What you need

• A wide, contoured hanger that supports the shoulders.
• A sturdy wall hook or a decorative hanger bar.
• A spot away from direct sunlight.

How to do it

1. Smooth the jersey with your hands so it lies flat on the hanger.
2. Turn the hanger so the back faces out if the name and number are the focus.
3. Hang it at eye level, slightly off-center from furniture so it does not get brushed.

This method is ideal for a game room or a dorm, since you can grab it on game day and put it back afterward.

Method 2: Mount it in a jersey frame

A jersey frame holds the shirt flat behind glass or acrylic, usually with the sleeves folded behind or spread out.

What you need

• A frame sized for a full football jersey.
• Acid-free backing board, if the frame does not include one.
• Pins or soft clips to keep the fabric in place.
• UV-filtering glazing if the room gets daylight.

Layout tips

• Decide front or back. Most fans show the back for a name and number listing.
• Fold the sleeves neatly behind the body for a clean rectangle, or pin them out for a wider shape.
• Smooth wrinkles with your hands and a cool setting; follow the care label before applying any heat.

Method 3: Build a shadow box

A shadow box is deeper than a frame, so you can fold the jersey and add small objects around it. This works well when the jersey is tied to a particular season. For context, texastech.com reports that Texas Tech won the 2025 Big 12 Championship, beating BYU 34-7, after a 12-1 regular season, and earned the No. 4 seed in the College Football Playoff. A shadow box with a jersey, a ticket stub and a printed date makes a tidy reminder of that run.

Ideas to include

• A ticket or a printout of the game you watched.
• A small photo from your watch party.
• A note with the date and the score as reported by the school.

Which listings display well

The Throwback Red group gives you plenty of choice, from a Patrick Mahomes II #5 Throwback Red listing to a Myles Price #1 Throwback Red listing and a Texas Tech Red Raiders #23 Throwback Red listing with a number-only back. The Independence Bowl Patch 2023 listings, available in red or white, include a Tyler Shough #12 listing and a Drae McCray #10 listing, plus custom versions. A white jersey contrasts nicely against a dark wall; red stands out on a light one.

Protecting a displayed jersey

• Keep it out of direct sun to help limit fading.
• Avoid hanging it above radiators, vents or a fireplace.
• Dust frames and glass gently with a dry cloth.
• If you take it down to wash, follow the care label.

Quick plan

1. Decide whether you will still wear it.
2. Choose hanging, framing or a shadow box.
3. Pick front or back as the display side.
4. Place it away from sun and heat.
