So you've sold a hockey jersey on eBay. Great! Now what? How do I get the jersey to the buyer without the crests and/or numbers creasing? I'm sure that everyone of us has come across this problem at some time or another whether it be as a buyer or a seller. Nobody wants to open the package and find a big old dent through their Habs logo or along the 8 on the back of their Caps jersey. Well, I'm gonna show you how to fold your jerseys properly into a neat little package WITHOUT fear or any creases or folds. Ready? Here we go!

Step 1: Select your jersey(yes, this is the first step! What if you chose the wrong jersey for shipment? Then you're in big trouble.).



Step 2: Lay your jersey face down on its front with the arms stretched out to the sides.



Step 3: Take either one of the arms and fold it in across the back going all the way to the other arms seam. If your jersey is tagged, bring the arm over until you get to the first portion of the number, making sure the numbers stay flat.



Step 4: Take the other arm and do the same; folding it across the back until reaching the seam OR the edge of the number. By now, you should have a rectangular shape with all your numbers lying flat.



Step 5: Find the small portion of material at the very edge of the jersey. Take about two inches of this small piece and fold it over into the jersey, again making sure that your numbers are still flat.



Step 6: Do the exact same thing on the other side of the jersey. Fold in just enough so you get right to the edge of the number.



Step 7: Next, take the top portion of the jersey and fold it up onto the back, using either the front crest or the back numbers as a guide. Bring it up enough to just see the edge of either. Obviously, in cases of smaller crests, use your judgement.



Step 8: Finally, fold this piece up again evenly with the rest of the jersey that's left. This will ensure that your crest is now relatively centered and flat while the numbers also remain flat in the back.



There you go! You're ready to ship that baby without any mishaps along the way.

Wait, what? What about jerseys with shoulder crests you say? I got you covered!

Step 1: The procedure is basically the same with a few differences.



Step 2: This time, when folding the arms, bring it to the edge of the shoulder crest.



Step 3: Do the same with the other arm, folding to the edge of the crest.



Step 4: Now, using the crest as a guide, fold the small portion in so the entire crest is inside the fold but still remaining flat.



Step 5: Repeat the same on the other side, making sure the crests are still flat.



Step 6: Grabbing the shoulder crest portions in your hands, fold upward to the edge of the chest crest.



Step 7: Even up your last fold and you are good to go.




There you have it. Using this method will give your customers one less thing to complain about. I've been doing this since I sold my first jersey and I haven't had one complaint about a creased crest. Now, go forth and impart this knowledge on others!
