Few moments are more meaningful to a student-athlete than senior night. At Graphic Impact, we turn that milestone into a lasting showpiece. Our team designs, fabricates, and assembles University of Arizona framed jerseys for the Men’s Basketball program—complete, museum-style displays that capture the energy of McKale Center and the pride of being a Wildcat.

Why a Framed Senior Jersey Matters

A framed jersey is more than memorabilia—it’s a story. It honors years of practice, teamwork, and achievement. Properly designed, it protects the garment, highlights key moments, and creates a focal point worthy of a living room, office, or athletic facility. Our approach balances aesthetics with preservation so the jersey looks great today and for decades.

Signature Detail: A McKale Center Photo Mat

One feature sets these presentations apart: the mat itself is a photo of McKale. Instead of a single color, we print a high-resolution image of McKale Center directly onto archival mat board. The result is a layered, immersive backdrop that frames the jersey with the arena’s atmosphere—student section, court lines, and the iconic feel of game day—making every display truly something special.

Premium Materials Built to Last

• Archival, acid-free mounting: Helps protect fabric fibers and colors from discoloration over time.
• UV-protective acrylic: Museum-grade glazing reduces fading and offers greater impact resistance than glass.
• Rigid backing & spacers: Maintains air flow and prevents the jersey from pressing against the acrylic.
• Precision joinery: Clean, tight frame corners with finishes that complement team colors and décor.

Design, Fabrication & Assembly—All In-House

Everything happens under one roof in Tucson—from layout and color proofing to cutting, printing, and final assembly. Keeping the entire process in-house ensures consistent quality and quick turnaround times. Our production artists collaborate closely with your team to finalize details, confirm jersey positioning, and align all visual elements before we build.

Customization Options

• Personalized plaques: Player name, number, years, position, and career highlights.
• Photo placements: Add action shots, portraits, or senior-night images alongside the jersey.
• McKale variations: Choose different angles or eras of McKale Center for the printed photo mat.
• Team accents: Trim lines, bevel colors, and hardware matched to University of Arizona style.
• Depth & layout choices: Shadow-box depths for additional items like patches, tickets, or a ball panel.

Display Ideas for Homes, Offices & Facilities

These framed jerseys are statement pieces. In a home, they anchor a media wall or game room. In an office, they spark conversation and showcase loyalty. In athletic facilities, they elevate hallways, lounges, and recruiting spaces—telling the program’s story with an unmistakable Wildcats identity.

How the Process Works

1. Consultation: Share the jersey, preferred photos, and any personalization details.
2. Design proof: We build a digital mockup showing jersey placement, McKale photo mat, and plaque text.
3. Fabrication: We print the mat, cut components, prepare the mount, and assemble the frame.
4. Quality check: Final inspection verifies alignment, hardware, and surface clarity.
5. Pickup or delivery: Ready to hang with secure hardware and simple instructions.
