Cary, NC Baseball Uniforms From STL Shirt Co.: What is Sublimation?

We rely on sublimated designs and logos on our baseball uniforms that will never fade, peel, or crack on flexible, breathable, and moisture-wicking material. Regardless of the Cary, NC weather or conditions. Sublimation printing, also called “all over printing” as it allows you to utilize a design or logo that spans from seam to seam, uses heat to basically combine ink and fabric together as one. Initially in Cary, NC, your logo or design is printed on our special paper. The inks turn into gas when heated, then coalesce with the fabric. The heat exposes the pores of the fabric and then, with the applied weight, the ink cools and returns to a solid state. The sublimation process is often compared to a tattoo, clearly exchanging baseball jerseys for your skin.

This technique is ideal for our custom baseball uniforms in Cary, NC, which are lighter and softer than some competitors’ jerseys, because the fabric remains smooth due to the printing melding with the fabric, as opposed to feeling the dried, prickly ink on your skin on “those other jerseys”. There’s not much worse than standing in the dusty outfield with the sun barraging you amidst a Cary, NC summer scorcher, replete with a 113 heat index, only to feel the discomfort of your uniform numbers melting to your skin. That’s embarrassing, especially due to the fact that baseball uniforms are costly. We can hope, for your sake, those curious eyes of your special fan didn’t notice that.

You and your Cary, NC team, not to mention your conspicuous, devoted fan(s), justify better. Give us a call now at 636-926-2777 or contact us online.

Cary, NC Baseball Uniforms: A Brief History

Oh, how far baseball uniforms have come. When they were first introduced, back in 1849, baseball uniforms were made of wool pants, white flannel shirts, and straw hats. Seems great for one of those Cary, NC sizzling summer days, eh? By 1882, uniforms were based on position rather than team. Each first baseman, for instance, wore 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 only a season prior to being called clown costumes and being ditched.

In the late 1920s, numbers were introduced to 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 for several decades. Wool caps and uniforms, or at the very least wool blends, were utilized until 2007. Along the way, there were many alterations and adaptations. The Philadelphia Phillies rocked zippers on their jerseys in 1979. The Chicago White Sox, at the behest of unique owner Bill Veeck, donned Bermuda shorts back in 1976. And the list goes on. And on.
