Answer 1

The problem you may run into is that a lot of the tools and equipment needed for this sort of project are specialized and expensive. You may want to see if there is a 'frame-it-yourself' shop around you - you do it yourself but you rent the use of their equipment and buy supplies from them.

If you prefer to do it completely on your own, here are a couple of sites which may help.

Good luck - it sounds like a very special jersey!

Added: btw, make sure any 'cardboard' you use is acid-free or archivally-safe.

Answer 2

Go to your local home improvement center make a large frame from the molding section. Attach to a 2 inch deep box  , add glass to the frame . Paint or line the box and add Jersey ;)))

Answer 3

I would get a large piece of cardboard, cover it with a solid color fabric, and lay the jersey on it.  Carefully position the glass over it, then carefully flip the whole thing over to fasten the cardboard to the frame.  You could use straight pins to hold the jersey in place on the fabric....they won't leave big holes.
