Our Cowboy Boot Display Case is a remarkable and elegant way to highlight and preserve the rugged beauty of cowboy boots. Customarily designed to accommodate the unique shape of the boots, these cases are often made from high-quality materials such as acrylic, each offering a distinctive style while providing protection from dust, and other potential harm. The clear enclosure of the display case allows for a multi-angle view, showcasing the intricate details, stitches, and patterns that make cowboy boots a true work of art. Whether it's an antique pair with a story to tell or a modern pair that signifies personal style, a cowboy boot display case is an ideal way to display these iconic symbols of the cowboy era. It serves as a conversation piece that effortlessly adds a dash of Western charm to any setting, making it a prized possession for collectors and Western enthusiasts alike.
In closing, a cowboy display case is more than just a receptacle for holding items; it's a spotlight that illuminates the rich history and cultural significance of cowboy and Western heritage. Whether it houses a traditional cowboy hat, an intricate pair of boots, or a collection of Western memorabilia, these cases offer a distinctive way to preserve and showcase these iconic artifacts. They blend aesthetics with functionality, protecting treasured items from damage while presenting them in an appealing manner. But perhaps most importantly, cowboy display cases serve as a tangible connection to the past, a means to display, enjoy, and share the enduring spirit of the Wild West. They're an essential element for any cowboy enthusiast, a testament to a timeless tradition, and a unique addition to any home or collection. Ultimately, each cowboy display case is a silent storyteller, sharing tales of the open range every time we look upon them.
Our Large Wedding Flower Display Case serves as a grand and enduring tribute to one of the most special days in a couple's life. These expansive cases are designed to encapsulate not just the bridal bouquet, but also other significant floral arrangements from the wedding, such as the groom's boutonniere, corsages, or even petals from the flower shower.

The large size of these display cases offers ample space, allowing for a creative arrangement of flowers that truly encapsulates the essence of the wedding day. A large wedding flower display case is more than just a decorative piece; it's a breathtaking, tangible reminder of the love and joy celebrated on that special day, creating a focal point of cherished memories in any home.
In conclusion, a flower display case is far more than a simple storage option. It's a celebration of the delicate beauty of nature, a portal through which one can appreciate the intricate details of every petal and leaf. Whether they're showcasing a single rose or a lavish wedding bouquet, preserving fresh blooms or displaying dried ones, these cases enhance the beauty of any floral arrangement. Beyond their practical use, flower display cases serve as breathtaking pieces of decor, enriching any space with their charm and elegance. They are testaments to important moments in our lives, personal mementos, and public displays of artistry and beauty. Whether you're a florist, a flower enthusiast, or someone simply appreciating the allure of a well-arranged bouquet, a flower display case invites you to pause, observe, and lose yourself in the timeless beauty of nature. It's a beautiful reminder that even something as transient as a flower can be given permanence with the right care and attention.
Carefully designed to safeguard and showcase objects that hold emotional significance, these display cases often become the home for heirlooms, photographs, mementos, medals, or even small personal items that held meaning to the person being remembered.
Fortunately, we have many different size display cases so that hopefully you an find the perfect one to preserve, protect and display your memories.
A funeral display case is a poignant and powerful symbol of remembrance that allows us to honor and celebrate the life of a loved one who has passed away. It's a sanctuary for personal belongings, keepsakes, and memorabilia that embody the individual’s essence and capture significant moments in their life story.
From medals of honor and cherished jewelry to meaningful photographs and handwritten notes, these precious items when housed within the elegant frame of a funeral display case become a visual testament of love, respect, and remembrance. Beautifully crafted, the funeral display case isn't merely a container for mementos; it's a gateway to shared memories, a source of solace, and a silent tribute to the enduring spirit of the departed. As a centerpiece during the funeral ceremony or as a lasting keepsake in the family home, it brings comfort and connection, helping us celebrate a life well-lived while coping with the grief of loss.
A Remembrance Display Case also serves as a tangible manifestation of cherished memories, a beautiful way to hold onto the essence of a departed loved one. It symbolizes a promise that while loved ones may no longer be present physically, their legacy continues to live on and influence our lives. Through the remembrance display case, we honor their life and celebrate the love that endures even in their absence.
A cherished container that holds and showcases sentimental items, acting as a visual memoir of significant moments and special people in our lives. Crafted with an artistic touch, each case is designed to house mementos, heirlooms, and tokens of affection that carry an emotional weight. Each object placed within a keepsake display case tells a unique story, whether it's a reminder of a beloved individual, a token from a milestone event, or a souvenir from a memorable journey. The keepsake display case elevates these items from simple trinkets to treasured artifacts, highlighting their significance and giving them a dedicated space for appreciation. These cases provide an opportunity to revisit cherished memories and share them with others, transforming the stored objects into a dynamic tableau of personal history. The keepsake display case thus encapsulates a tangible piece of one's life journey, serving as a constant reminder of moments of love, joy, and personal achievement.
As you can see, memory, keepsake, and remembrance display cases are far more than decorative objects. They serve as bridges to the past, gateways to shared stories, and vessels for the preservation of cherished memories. Each case, carefully curated and lovingly maintained, reveals a unique tapestry of life experiences and relationships, imbued with powerful emotion and personal significance.
Whether it's to honor the memory of a departed loved one through a remembrance display case, or to capture timeless moments in a keepsake display case, these beautiful artifacts are a testament to the human capacity to remember, to love, and to cherish. They help us stay connected with our past and bring comfort by offering a tangible way to hold onto the memories that define us.
Please contact us if you have any questions about which display case would be best for you.

Well, I just got back from a 12 day cruise to Greece, Israel, Turkey, Cypress and Rhodes. Was awesome! It was the longest vacation I've ever taken and was in celebration of me and my wife's 25th anniversary and also her 50th birthday. The picture of us was taken in Haifa, Israel. We were amazed how small Israel actually is. Especially when you focus on the areas people mostly live. The day this picture was taken we had traveled completely across Israel -- from the Golan Heights (where you can see into Syria) back to the Mediterranean Sea (you can see into Lebanon along the shore at the upper left of the picture above).
Thanks to my employees for taking care of business while I was gone!
The day after returning we received another large shipment of cases. So, at this moment, we have the most products in stock we've had in a long time.
Yes, our A002 football helmet cases are fully in stock as are our A082 basketball shoe cases. And even the wall mounts for both of those popular products. Also, large black risers (which we almost ran out of).

Speaking of flowers, spring is in full swing and I hope you have a wonderful Easter Sunday!

First, a bit of history about the West Coast Boxing Hall of Fame. It was founded in 2015 by Rick Farris and Dan Hanley; pro and amateur boxers back in the 1970s. Their mission is to remember and celebrate the great boxing history of the West Coast. Each year they hold an awards luncheon and ceremony to induct boxers into their Hall of Fame.
Their 2021 event was their fifth event. It was huge, despite the pandemic, which forced 2 reschedules. Some of the inductees from the 2021 West Coast Boxing Hall of Fame were Roberto Diaz, Oscar De La Hoya, Gabriel Ruelas, and Johnny Tapia. Here’s a picture of Johnny Tapia.
Boxing Legends: HBO's Larry Merchant, Yaqui Lopez, Manny Pacquiao, Berry Gordy Jr. (the founder of MOTOWN Records was a pro boxer), referee Jack Reiss, Eliza Olson )Female heavyweight champ).
Back in 2015 when it was founded, inductees were Danny Lopez, Ray Mancini, Rodolfo Gonzalez, Don Chargin, Jimmy Lennon Jr, and Jimmy Lennon. And also Jim FitzGerald, who was a ring announcer that got inducted.
The next induction will be March 12, 2023 at 11am-4pm in the Millennium Biltmore Hotel, 506 Grand Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90071. It promises to be their biggest event yet, expecting 550-600 guests.
OK, so what does all this have to do with Better Display Cases? Well, we are so happy and proud that they have selected our display cases to hold the amazing painted glove they present to each boxer. Here you can see what I mean:
Is that cool or what? So creative and amazing images on those gloves.
Those were from last year’s induction. This year they are using a different version of our boxing glove case. This time the slideback (A044) version. So, once we get the pictures back we’ll be able to compare.
It’s going to be an amazing event. If you are there, please check out the gloves in our cases. And THANK YOU to the West Coast Boxing Hall of Fame for your trust in Better Display Cases!
Here's a link to the BOXING GLOVE DISPLAY CASE they used last year. And here’s a link to the one they’ll be using next time: https://www.betterdisplaycases.com/products/boxing-glove-display-case-with-sliding-back-a044-v17
]]>So the Buffalo Bills beat the Los Angles Rams 31-10! Josh Allen did a great job halfway through the game but did have a little hiccup for the first 2 quarters of the game. But after that was straight as an arrow and had 297 passing yards with 3 TD!
The Miami Dolphins look pretty good this season and this game proves that Tua has to great dynamic offensive weapons like Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle they combined with 163 yards receiving with 12 rec that game! On the other side, the Patriots look like they are going to have a good defense just like every year but their offense is very questionable with having problems with getting a good offensive coordinator and question if their receiving core going to be good. but the game ended 7-20 final score.

Giving back to the community has always been important to us at Better Display Cases. We value being able to help worthy charitable causes in whatever way we can.
Such was the case when we donated a case to a charity fundraiser for the Suffolk County Court Officers Benevolent Association. They held a golf outing, and our display case was used to showcase a custom painted pair of golf shoes. They were nice enough to send us T-shirts as a "thank you" for the contribution.
Recently the Gabby Petito Foundation contacted us about contributing a case for their fundraiser. The foundation was started to help organizations who locate missing persons and provide support to organizations which help victims of domestic abuse/violence through education, spreading awareness, and prevention strategies. You can read more about the foundation in the nice "thank you" letter they sent us.
The fundraiser was held at Topgolf in Holtsville, New York where our case was on display containing a New York Jets Helmet signed by Leonard Williams. Williams was the 6th overall pick in the 2015 NFL Draft. He went on to play defensive end for the Jets from 2015 until 2019 when he was traded to the Giants.
The case that we donated was our Full-Size Football Helmet display case. These are one of our most sought-after cases and we were eager to donate one in support of the event.
As seen in the picture above, the signed helmet sits in one of our clear display cases, paired with a clear platform base and red risers.
If you are holding a charity fundraising event and believe our case could help benefit your event, reach out to us through our contact page here. We would love to help!

Thank you!
We all own things we treasure. Items that bring back good memories and make us smile. Each piece has a story to tell.
Too often these wonderful pieces of memorabilia are stored away in closed boxes, dark closets, hot attics, or damp basements. There they sit, decomposing, and rarely if ever enjoyed, until eventually thrown away. How sadly common this problem is.
What these special objects need is something to put them in. Something that will provide protection from damage caused by dust, spills, fingerprints, light or simply something falling on top of them.
Mostly they need something that will make them pop and stand out. Something that will put them on display so they can tell their story.
Acrylic display cases do all this and more.
"Put a hat on a shelf (or worse in a box) and no one will notice it.
Put that same hat in a display case and suddenly everyone wants to know it's story!"
I’ve been to many sports memorabilia shows. Often, my table will be next to someone selling baseball caps, football helmets, autographed basketballs - whatever. There are usually hundreds of such tables at shows like that and thousands of people will walk on by, usually not even stopping to look. At some point during the show, my neighbor sometimes asks if he can borrow (or buy) one of our display cases to display one of his items in. It never fails to amaze (both he and I) how suddenly people will stop and take a look at what’s in the display case. Small crowds sometimes form.
Why?
Well, the display case draws the eye to the item. It adds perceived value to whatever’s on display. People want to know what the story is of the item that is receiving that special treatment.
Quality display cases are literally “show-stoppers” for your memorabilia.
OK, so you know you need a display case or maybe two. But, why should you buy your display case from Better Display Cases? Click this link to find out.

Since the first bracket in 1946, the NBA Playoffs have come a long way. During the 1947 playoffs, there were only six teams that made it, representing the best of each conference. Ever since then, the League has made changes to the bracket to include an additional ten teams. Starting in 1983, the 16-team bracket that we see today began, which has created a longer, more exciting tournament.
Every buzzer-beater, upset, and victory celebration has led to one season after another of unforgettable NBA memories. Some of your favorite players like Adam Silver, Magic Johnson, Michael Jordan, and more have had the games of their careers during the NBA Playoffs — and if this season is like all of the rest, we’re in for an exhilarating finale!

]]>The NFL Draft is right around the corner. And if the draft is anything like the off-season has been so far, we are in for a wild ride! Running from April 28th through April 30th, the 32 NFL teams across the league will select players to add to their roster for the upcoming season.
After showcasing their talents for teams during the NFL Combine earlier this spring, it’s now in the hands of the teams’ leadership to make their selections. Each of the 262 players that will be selected throughout seven rounds is waiting for that one phone call that will change their life — that phone call means they’re going pro!
There are big names expected to go early, like Michigan edge rusher Aidan Hutchinson, Cincinnati cornerback Sauce Gardner, and Pittsburgh quarterback Kenny Pickett. But, as every football-lover knows, anything can happen in the NFL Draft!
The process of the NFL Draft began in 1959 after a rather informal process was deemed to be unfair. Up until the establishment of an official draft, some teams felt they were at a disadvantage in signing top players once the waiver system was created. So, former Philadelphia Eagles co-owner Bart Bell suggested an annual player selection draft to level the playing field.
The institution of the draft process created a more interesting and vibrant off-season. The art of scouting was given the spotlight as a pillar to a successful draft — players began to take their professions more seriously either by choosing to work harder to be drafted or by abandoning the sport they love for more normalcy. No matter the path a player followed to get to the NFL Draft, once they were in and had gone through the NFL Combine, which began in 1985, they had the chance to make a name for themselves in the big leagues.
Whether it’s the first sport you played or the sport you’ve been watching with your family since you were a kid, every special football moment deserves a display. That’s why at Better Display Cases, we are committed to offering the perfect display case for footballs, helmets, and more to help you share years worth of memories.
Keep reading for more about the display cases we have to offer so you can remember and share your stories with others!

With the capability of fitting a full-size football, these display cases are an amazing choice!
For a different display style, we offer an Acrylic Sports Ball Wall Mounted Floating Shelf. This shelf bracket is made from a durable acrylic material that will not show the installation screws for a clean and professional finish. Mounting on the wall for a unique display, this football shelf is a great option to add to your sports-watching room or your Man Cave.
Choose the Acrylic Full-Size Football Helmet Display Case to show off your favorite NFL or NCAA team or reminisce about your time on the field. This display case is crafted from durable acrylic plastic and can be customized based on your style preferences.

]]>Shelves are great for holding a vast assortment of items and we carry a variety of shelves that may fit your needs. While we have previously posted a blog about why you may need a shelf or wall mount, this one is a little refresher and it focuses on the different shelves that we offer.
Our floating shelves are an amazing way to help declutter space and make use of an empty wall in your home. Whether you are looking for a place to put something as simple as hand sanitizer or something as cool as an old trophy that holds a great deal of value, shelves are fantastic for helping your space feel a little tidier and look good at the same time. Some of our customers have even gotten a little creative and found a way to use our shelves to hold their Sonos speakers. With our teardrop screw hole design, you could potentially run the speaker cord through the larger part of the hole. Although it is not ideal, it has been done and there are many more ways you could get creative with our shelves and share it with us so that we can spread the word to others!
Our shelves can be purchased in a variety of sizes. You also have the choice of a clear acrylic shelf or a black acrylic shelf.
You can shop our floating shelves here.
Sports Ball Shelves
In addition to our regular floating shelves, we also offer sports ball shelves!
Most of the time people want a case for their signed sports balls, but not everybody has the space or cash to get a case. Well, our shelves are a great solution! Your ball will now have a home on the shelf, it will look great, and you will have saved space.
No matter the type of ball you have, Better Display Cases has a shelf for you. These are unique because our shelves have a cut-out for each ball so that it will fit on the shelf perfectly. Additionally, we offer a select variety of shelves with multiple cut-outs if you have multiple balls you want to display. We offer a three-hole shelf and a six-hole shelf for baseballs, cricket balls, and golf balls.
Our sports ball shelves only come in clear acrylic, but nevertheless, your items will look great displayed on our high-quality, acrylic shelves!
You can shop our sports ball shelves here
Also keep an eye out as we are currently working on creating a new separate division of our company called "Wall Org". It will become the home of all of our shelving products.

This will be a short and quick newsletter. I hope everyone had a great Christmas and New Years. Can't believe it's already mid-January -- 2022!
I picked a football themed picture a customer sent in since we are into NFL playoff season now.
Anyway, I wanted to get out information to our best customers -- you guys who are on our newsletter list -- about our inventory and pricing situation. I won't whine about the increasing costs of getting our products since that does no good. But, suffice it to say, we are in challenging times. Let's hope and pray things improve in 2022.
We are fortunate at the moment to have almost all of our products in stock. However, we are thin on most things. So, if you have been thinking about ordering something, you should go ahead and do it before it runs out of stock.
The only major display case out of stock is our full size football helmet case. But, I'm having some made in Virginia and hope to pick them up next week. So, the clear versions should be back in stock in 7-10 days or so. The mirror version will arrive in mid February.
As for pricing, we have had to raise our prices another 10%. Note that our website is still cheaper than buying our cases anywhere else. Additionally, if you are reading this, then you can avoid that price increase and get even a further discount by using the terrific monthly coupon code above (for 15% off). That's the biggest monthly coupon code I think we've ever offered. So, please take advantage of it!
As always, thank you so much for your support of our business. We wouldn't be here without you!

We were fortunate that Steve sent in this pristine pair of cleats, signed by Matthews, displayed in one of our beautiful cases supported by a turf platform base. The perfect combination to display a pair of cleats! Steve obtained these through a trade with another collector! (A great trade if I do say so myself)
Millions of people tune in to watch their favorite sports teams every year and that number will only continue to grow. And while America's pastime may be considered baseball, let's not forget that football is the most popular sport being watched right now. With growing numbers of sports fans, that only means that the number of collectors and super fans will continue to increase. Therefore, many more cleats will be signed and that means people will need something to display them in. Well, look no further, as we have what you need!
Our large shoe/cleat display case is exactly what you are looking for! They are perfect for displaying a pair of signed shoes or cleats from any of your favorite players. For football fans, I recommend a turf base, paired nicely with your choice of risers. We have twelve different colors so you can customize your case in coordination with the colors from your favorite team. As you can see, that is precisely what Steve did with this pair of cleats.
So if you decide to display your signed cleats in one of our display cases, let us know. We love to see how you use our product!

There is an update though, because about a month ago, Shark Tank ordered some of our ping pong paddle holders. I guess maybe they have a break room with a ping pong table. So, if I ever go on the show I'll start by telling them that they already know our product well, even if they don't realize it.
I need to reach back out to Robbie and see if he can help us get on Shark Tank!
_____________________________________________
Today was a good day!
Just discovered our display case was on Shark Tank this past Sunday. So, I record EVERY episode of it (so I can watch and re-watch, etc) and I was watching my recording last night. If you saw it, you'll remember the Benji Lock guy who was offered a deal with Alex Rodriguez and almost all the Sharks; then surprisingly picked Kevin O'Leary.
Anyway, I saw his product in a display case on the set and immediately I was like -- "that's our display case." I noticed because our risers are unique (I'll explain why in another post -- but that's probably why he bought the case).
So, I contacted Robbie Cabral through LinkedIn and he was nice enough to respond (even though he's obviously absolutely crazy busy at this moment -- his website is even crashed).
He told me he bought the case on Amazon. I checked and sure enough, I found his order (he actually has bought 3 cases). Pretty cool. I guess now we can say about our display cases: "As Seen on Shark Tank." Ha! [Please note disclaimer below so we don't get in trouble :) ]
Here's a couple of pics showing our case on the show.
https://www.facebook.com/benjilockofficial
https://www.facebook.com/SharkTank/
DISCLAIMER: We are not claiming "we" were on Shark Tank. Just that our product was.
If you've looked for our products on other channels like Ebay and Etsy then you have already seen our price increase of 30% -- there.
We also stopped selling on Amazon due to the increasing costs of selling there. We do plan to retun to Amazon. However, when we do, our prices will increase on Amazon will be 50%.
So far we have managed to avoid any recent price increases to the customers here on our own website -- www.betterdisplaycases.com. However, we can't do that forever. So, prices will be increasing here by 10% on August 10th.
The good news is you still have ten days left before the price increase. And, even after that, pricing on this website will still (and always) be much less than our prices on other channels. And we also will continue to offer coupon codes from time to time.
Thank you for your support and we hope these changes will allow us to continue to grow and provide the innovative quality products you have come to expect.
]]>Our family moved a couple miles south to Sunset Beach (borders on South Carolina).
While I'm in the updating mode -- you may have noticed we are no longer selling on Amazon. We made this decision based on several factors. Maybe the biggest reason was that if we had continued to sell on Amazon we would have had to raise our prices everywhere (including here on our own website). Costs of selling on Amazon have increased and Amazon has a pricing policy that punishes sellers who sell for less off Amazon. We didn't want to raise our prices here -- so it was an easy decision.
Currently we are still selling on Etsy, Ebay and Google -- as well as here of course. We may decide to drop all third party sales channels in the near future; we'll see. We provide the best service and product when we sell direct to our customers from our website. So, you will always be able to find us here. I know our website can be difficult at times to navigate -- so please contact us if you ever have any questions or issues.
For more about the move please check out 4th of July update.
Thanks again for your support!
The movers will be here on Tuesday, June 22 to begin packing us up for our move to Ocean Isle Beach, North Carolina!
Shipping will be delayed by about one week on orders between June 22 - July 4.
So, PLEASE get your orders in ASAP to avoid shipping delays.
Also, with July 4 nearly upon us, a reminder that we still have clearance FLAG DISPLAY CASES that we will sell to you at our cost. So, that's a great deal if you ever wanted a display case for your flag. Please contact us if you are interested.
Otherwise, hang tight. By July 5, we'll be moved to our new warehouse and back to normal. What a relief that will be!
Well, I say "back to normal" but actually for a while at least we'll only be selling on our website (not any other channels). So, look for us at Better Display Cases. You'll always find us there!

Some people have found a solution to this by investing in large glass shelves, particularly from that one popular Swedish company that we are not allowed to mention by name for legal reasons. The problem is that while these glass shelves are relatively inexpensive, you get what you pay for as these glass shelves have a notorious reputation for randomly exploding, causing glass to shatter all over your figurines as well as endangering small children & pets. You can find examples of these horror stories here, here, and here. Yikes!
A better alternative is acrylic display cases which are made of high quality, crystal clear acrylic that will showcase your Pop figures in all the splendor they deserve. Acrylic has several advantages compared to glass, which you can learn about here. Thankfully, Better Display Cases makes several display cases that are perfect for displaying your Pop figurines.
Now the most important question when it comes to finding the right display case: Are you displaying your Funko Pops in box or out of box? Most Funko Pop collectors looking for display cases are typically displaying their Funk Pops outside of the box, so that they can enjoy all the visual aesthetics of their figurines while still having the protection of a display case. In which case (pun intended), our 5.5 x 5.5 x 9.5 display case will fit your Funko Pops perfectly. You can choose between clear, mirror, white or black backs with the option for wall mount brackets on the back.
This same display case was recently featured in a video by our good friend BeardOfPOP! on YouTube. You can watch that video here.
Our 8-inch display cubes are also a good choice, particularly for more square figurines like this Funko TARDIS. You can also choose between mirror or clear backs, with the option of a black, white, or even a turf base.
However, if you are one of those more dedicated Funko Pop collectors who wants their Pop figurines in the box and in a display case, you would likely need our 9.75" display case or our 10" display case, which will accommodate the dimensions of the box. The cool thing about this is that these display cases come with risers, which come in many different colors to match your figurine:
If you’re looking for a simpler way to display your Funko Pops that’s a bit more cost-effective, our floating shelves are also a good option:
So no matter what kind of Funko POP collector you are, Better Display Cases has everything you need to put your collection on display!
TLDR? Watch Our Funko Pop Video On YouTube:
We received a number of photos from a customer from Roberto Perez, showing us how he is using one of our Acrylic Book Display Cases. This particular book display case measures 20 inches Long, 14 inches Deep, 6 inches High...the dimensions necessary to hold his LEGO build of the White house. See, relevant to the election.
As seen in the image above, the this build is an accurate creation of the White House exterior. Now, while the images he sent focus on the side that faces out to the South lawn, in the faint reflection on the acrylic, you can see the other side of the White House.
We are always amazed by the wonderful things people create in LEGO and are excited to see when they choose to display their creations in one of our display cases. This particular case has a clear acrylic top that will not obstruct any view of the build inside. The white double sheet pairs nicely with the green of the bricks that simulate the South lawn, as well as plays with the whole "white house" aesthetic.
We get a lot of customer photos showing how they display their builds.
This election day, don't spend the whole day checking in to see the results, not that we are saying don't care about the results...but at least take a minute to take a look at these images and maybe even take a look at the display case. Let us help you display your story, even if its made of bricks for ages 4-99.
p.s. if you enjoyed this blog, be on the lookout for an upcoming blog concerning why you should put LEGOs in a display case.
Before I go any further, allow me to dive into the history of how American football arrived in Japan: It all started in 1934 when an American Christian missionary by the name of Paul Rusch introduced the game through his creation of the Intercollegiate Football League, the first college-level American football in Japan. Having been deported from Japan at the outbreak of World War II, Rusch would return in 1945 after hostilities ended to continue his work establishing the game at football on the primary school level. He is often referred to as “The Father Of American Football in Japan”. The X-League was founded in 1971 as the Japan American Football League before changing to its current name in 1997. The league consists mostly of company-owned teams like the “IBM Big Blue” or the “Panasonic Impulse”, the latter of which happened to be playing in the Japan X-Bowl game that I was watching.
Among the players who caught my eye was the sight of an American at the position of quarterback. As it turns out, the X-League allows for four foreign players to be added to the roster, but only two can be on the field at any given time. The quarterback’s name was Anthony Lawrence. He had played college football at the University of San Diego before trying out for the NFL. Draft Day came and Lawrence was unfortunately not selected. He tried to join the Canadian Football League, a popular option for many undrafted players, but an offer never materialized. That’s when he got an offer from the Panasonic Impulse for the position of quarterback. After considering his other options, the 6’ 1” 195 lbs. quarterback from California decided to take the offer and ended up moving 6,000 miles from San Diego to Osaka, Japan.
Despite not knowing the language, it was that same familiarity with the game of football that allowed him to settle into his role. As he told The USD Vista: “Being out here, you realize all of the differences in cultures, but you also realize the similarities. There’s guys on the team that like to mess around, there’s guys that work super hard. Being in the locker room feels like being in any other locker room I’ve ever been in. You mess around with the guys, you have fun being on the field, you’re still laughing at practice, you’re having fun, enjoying it…”
Although he never achieved NFL stardom, Lawrence became a star in his own right, leading his team to victory in five of the last seven games in the 2019 regular season and eventually to the championship game at Tokyo Dome where he would face off against the Fujitsu Frontiers in the Japan X Bowl in front of 30,000 fans. “One of the best football environments I've ever played in in my career." Lawrence said. (Spoiler Alert: His team lost) Despite the loss, Lawrence had every intention of returning to Japan for another season. So earlier this year, he packed his bags and hopped on a plane to be there for his team’s spring training. Back in Japan however, officials with the league ended up cancelling the 2020 season due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Unfortunately for Lawrence, he didn’t find out until his plane landed in Japan.
Lawrence’s story is a prime example of an athlete willing to do whatever it takes to prove himself, even if it means moving to an entirely different country to pursue that dream and you can’t help but fall in love with that and root for him every step of the way. Here at Better Display Cases, we believe that everyone should be able to display their story. When Lawrence finally decides to finally hang up the helmet for good, he’ll have quite the story to tell. We certainly hope he will consider one of our many football helmet display cases to help tell that story. 😉
]]>But we’re definitely not excited about the dreadfully new Washington Football Team name.
However, that is not the case for Martin McCauley. Just 32 miles up the road from us, Martin is the man responsible for buying up every semi-passable new Washington team name. Team names like Washington Red Wolves and Washington Red-Tailed Hawks would have been somewhat creative and welcomed. Washington Generals and Washington Monuments could have paid tribute to the city. Dan Snyder owned the name Washington Warriors but gave up the trademark back in 2019. Thus, we have the Dan Snyder brainchild “Washington Football Team”.
The Better Display Cases team is a little more creative than Dan. Thanks to our newest employee Joe, we have an exciting new video for you.
Dust off that football helmet in your closet and put it back in the game with our Football Helmet Display Cases. With 4 base options and 11 riser colors, only Better Display Cases gives you a choice in how you display your memorabilia. We love our turf base because it brings that “on the field action” into your home for your football collectibles. Don’t be like the Washington Football Team. Don’t settle for generic. You can do better than that with Better Display Cases. Let us help you display your story.

Enjoy!
Here's a new video that explains what really differentiates our company from other display case companies. Of course the quality of our product, our customer service, our quality control and shipping processes are all super important and industry leading.
But there is one thing that really separates us from the pack. That thing can be summarized in one word: COLOR.
We offer our customers many color options. In fact, way more than even Sherwin-Williams. In fact, for every display case we offer 792 color options. Amazing.
Other display case companies generally offer one type of display case: black base, gold risers, mirror case. That's it.
We offer three different types of cases: a mirror case, clear case or wall mount case.
We also offer six different type/color bases: black acrylic, white acrylic, clear acrylic, turf, synthetic wood, and mirror.
and if that wasn't enough, every one of those options comes with your choice of eleven (yes 11) different color risers (gold, silver, black, red, white, blue, yellow, pink, purple, green and of course my personal favorite -- Tennessee ORANGE!!
So add and multiply it all up and that works out to 792 different options.
And actually that is understating it because it doesn't include custom options like doing 4 different riser colors or two of two different colors. [For those non-standard options you will need to https://www.betterdisplaycases.com/pages/contact-us to arrange.]
Think how much better your display case will work for you if you can match it with the decor of the place it will be displayed. Also, your memorabilia will look much better. For instance, if your memorabilia is black, you don't want a black base. Your item would disappear. (Bad for telling its story).
No, you probably want a white base so that your memorabilia stands out, pops, draws attention and thus is better able to tell your story.
Or, if you are a Red Sox fan, you want red risers. Vols fans will want orange. On and on.
We live our lives in color and our display cases should reflect that.
OK, I've blathered on long enough. Please check out the video below to see what I mean. Thank you!!
For instance, we got a call from a surgeon who needs a display case like the one in the attached picture to use during surgery to protect the surgical team from infection if the patient coughs during surgery. Interesting opportunity and we are working on that case now.
We are also using our supply chain contacts to help doctors and hospitals find PPE like N95 facemasks. In fact we have a case of them on the way to a doctor in Kansas right now.
Let us know if we can help you!
We are happy to help in any way we can.
God bless you all.
