Birmingham, AL Baseball Uniforms From STL Shirt Co.: What is Sublimation?

We bank on sublimated designs and logos on our baseball uniforms that will never crack, peel, or fade on breathable, flexible, and moisture-wicking material. No matter the Birmingham, AL weather or conditions. Sublimation printing, also called “all over printing” as it lets you use a design or logo that goes from seam to seam, uses heat to basically combine ink and fabric together as one. Initially in Birmingham, AL, your design or logo is printed on our special paper. The inks coalesce with the fabric, after being heated and turning into gas. The high temperature exposes the pores of the fabric and then, with the activated weight, the ink cools and returns to a solid state. The sublimation process is akin to a tattoo, obviously substituting baseball jerseys for your skin.

This technique is ideal for our custom baseball uniforms in Birmingham, AL, which are lighter and more comfortable than some competitors’ jerseys, because the fabric stays smooth due to the printing melding with the fabric, as opposed to feeling the dried, prickly ink on your skin on those competitors’ jerseys. There is nothing worse than standing in the dusty outfield with the sun grilling you amidst a Birmingham, AL summer scorcher, replete with a 113 heat index, only to feel the discomfort of your uniform numbers sticking to your skin. That’s humiliating, particularly seeing as baseball uniforms cost money. We can hope, for your sake, those inquisitive eyes in the front row didn’t see that.

You and your Birmingham, AL team, not to mention your front-and-center, dedicated fan(s), justify better. Contact us online or give us a call now at 636-926-2777.

Birmingham, AL Baseball Uniforms: A Brief History

Oh, how far baseball uniforms have come. When they first started, back in 1849, baseball uniforms were made of wool pants, white flannel shirts, and straw hats. Sounds great for one of those Birmingham, AL hot summer days, eh? By 1882, uniforms were based on position rather than team. Each first baseman, for example, donned the same scarlet-and-white-striped shirt and bowtie, no matter which side of the field they were on. This idea didn’t sit too well, lasting just a season prior to being called clown costumes and getting tossed.

In 1929, numbers were sewn on the back of major league baseball uniforms. It took another couple of decades for numbers to be put on the front, too. Batting helmets weren’t introduced until 1939, and were not required until 1971. Wool uniforms and caps, or at least wool blends, were utilized until 2007. There were many alterations and adaptations along the way. The Chicago White Sox, at the behest of quirky owner Bill Veeck, donned Bermuda shorts in 1976. The Philadelphia Phillies rocked zippers on their jerseys in 1979. And the list goes on. And on.
