Does anyone collect signed jerseys, jumpers, singlets, gurnseys etc?

What's the best way to get them signed?

What is the best sort of item to get signed?

What's the best way to display it?

What's the best signed clothing item in your collection?

Do you only get sports teams to sign a jersey or bands to sign t-shirts etc

Any tips?

Tips? Lighter colored tops are better I think. Some sports teams have very dark tops - unless you use a silver pen (& I think they can fade)

Display? Framing looks good but can be expensive (and permenant unless youu tell the framer). But it can look nice just hung on a coat hanger from a hook on the wall (and easily rotated between different signed tops) or buy a maniquin to wear it in what ever room you want to display it

Synthetic tops seem to sign well. Old woolen jumpers are too fuzzy!

And when getting it signed, pull the top tight so it's firm for the person to sign

Thanks! Each were a favor by a couple of people who toured with those teams. The rowing one I provided the top (a cheap $10 singlet from K-Mart i think, but looks ok IMO - one of those light weight singlets, I bought a few coz they were on sale, for occasions just like this), the hockey on was actually a match worn singlet from a champions trophy tournament (or something like that).

That is cool really Kmart sells them ? lol i was thinking you would have paid like $80 from Rebel sports or something

I think it was K-Mart ... or Big W. and yup I think it was about $10 ... definitely less that $20. But remember it was a few years ago now. Doubt they would still be for sale ... that's why I bought a few of them (there was also the same design in dark blue (which I was going to get signed in silver pen some time). Always handy to have tops like this ... just in case ;)

Haha nice that is exactly what i do with photos i get dark ones signed in silver sharpy and coloured ones in black !

I have quite a few tops signed by AFL teams (though mostly the Sydney Swans)

A fully signed AFL Sydney Swans jumper from 2011

AFL Fremantle Dockers t-shirt

AFL Sydney Swans jumper signed in 2009

And some bottoms as well

Pair of clean, unworn boxers shorts signed by the Swans ... many of the players laughed when they signed these. But they are good for signing as the satin material stretches tight for form a firsurface for signin, and they are small for framing if you want to (cheaper to frame).

That is so cool ! i love the swans there my fav AFL team i got to meet the team up at Kings Cross one night for a presentation with my football club that is so cool ! Sadly i was unable to get anything signed by the team because i didn't have a marker

Good idea to put the people's names with their autographs. You have a lot of signed tops - & bottoms
