High school football jerseys have become very popular due to the overall popularity of football in general.

The question is, how do you preserve your high school football jersey so you can always remember the season, my teammates, my school?

Here is a great idea, take your jersey and get it professionally framed and matted, exactly how professional athletes frame and mat their jersey. Add a picture of your team, a memorable moment from the season, and a plaque inside the frame and now you have your very own collectible, something you can pass down to your kids.

Otherwise, your high school jersey is just going to get thrown in a closet and get ruined -- you might as well memorialize it so you have something to look back on.

Another great idea is to have your high school jersey replicated so your parents can wear it to the games, your fellow students can wear them, and then you can keep the collectible jersey as a piece of your own sports history.

Many high school football fans are doing this with their jerseys now instead of just tossing them after the season. They are also getting them framed instead of doing trophy's at the end of the year. A good friend of mine gave their coach his son's framed high school football jersey at the end of the season instead of a trophy and the coach was amazed.

There are a lot of companies out there that can create custom high school football jerseys for you and then frame your jersey after the season is over. With the popularity of sports memorabilia today -- and the enormity of high school football, it is becoming the premier way to preserve those high school memories.
