Professional Preservation and Framing Guidelines

To ensure this prized piece of Dutch football history retains its bold orange colour and crisp marker contrast for decades, we strongly recommend mounting the shirt inside a custom display frame fitted with high-grade UV-protective glass. Direct exposure to natural daylight or harsh spotlighting can cause fabric dyes and marker ink to fade over time.

Position your finished frame in a dry, climate-controlled space completely removed from dampness, direct heat sources, or high humidity. Handle the jersey with clean hands or soft cotton gloves when taking measurements for framing, and ensure your framer uses acid-free backing materials so the fabric stays perfectly flat without discolouration. Never iron over or near the signed area.

At Limelight Memorabilia, absolute trust is central to everything we do. This Giovanni Van Bronckhorst hand-signed retro jersey is accompanied by our dedicated, individual Certificate of Authenticity (COA). Functioning as a permanent, unconditional lifetime guarantee that the autograph is 100% genuine, this document offers complete security for your sports collection.
