Man caves are this generation’s answer to the bachelor pad, the place where a guy can be a guy and surround himself with guy things like sports memorabilia and other things that pay homage to his favorite things. “Man cave” gives the impression of roughing it up, but a well-appointed man cave is anything but rough. Put aside any preconceived notions of unfinished garages with tacked up posters and an old refrigerator in the corner to hold a 12-pack or two. Today’s man cave is not only well-equipped, it’s stylish, and any memorabilia used to decorate it is not only authentic, but displayed beautifully. Keep that in mind when seeking ideas for outfitting your man room with the finishing touches that fit its mood. If you’re helping decorate a man cave for a hockey fan, these three sport memorabilia ideas can give you a starting place for your own design and décor.
Autographed Game Shirts
Game jerseys are among the hottest memorabilia items on the market these days. Team jerseys with player signatures make great wall hangings and help set the mood. For the true hockey buff, delve into the history of the sport and come up with something special, like a framed U.S. Olympic team jersey from the 1980 Miracle on Ice team. An authentic 1980 USA hockey team jersey – especially one signed by members of the team – is more than a decoration for your man cave. It’s like owning a piece of history.
Autographed Photos
Celebrity autographs are always meaningful, but never as meaningful as when they accompany a photo of a once-in-a-lifetime moment. The history of hockey is liberally sprinkled with moments captured by the cameras of famous sports photographers. Perhaps the single most famous sports photograph in history features an airborne Bobby Orr, arms raised in triumph after he scored the goal that gave the Boston Bruins their first Stanley Cup in 29 years. Invoke the history of hockey with a signed and framed copy of that famous photograph on your walls.
Famous Sports Posters
When the 1980 USA hockey team won the Olympic gold, it was a historic moment for sports fans, and especially for hockey fans, around the world and across the country. After their victory, the USA Miracle on Ice poster became one of the hottest selling sports posters of the decade. That poster is worth even more when it bears the signatures of every member of the team and framed in a beautiful museum quality frame that highlights it perfectly.
Sport memorabilia makes a perfect finishing touch for the private retreat of any sport fan. If you’re looking for a memorabilia ideas for your man cave, make a point of buying from a recognized, reputable dealer who guarantees its authenticity.
