Cedar Rapids, IA Baseball Uniforms From STL Shirt Co.: What is Sublimation?

We count on sublimated designs and logos on our baseball uniforms that won’t fade, peel, or crack on flexible, breathable, and moisture-wicking material. No matter the Cedar Rapids, IA weather or conditions. Sublimation printing, also called “all over printing” as it lets you utilize a design or logo that spans from seam to seam, uses heat to essentially meld fabric and ink together as one. Initially in Cedar Rapids, IA, your logo or design 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 applied pressure, the ink cools and returns to a solid form. The sublimation process is often compared to a tattoo, clearly substituting baseball uniforms for your skin.

This technique is ideal for our custom baseball uniforms in Cedar Rapids, IA, which are lighter and softer than some competitors’ jerseys, because the fabric stays smooth due to the printing melding with the fabric, contrary to feeling the dried, prickly ink on your skin on “those other jerseys”. There is nothing worse than standing in the dusty outfield with the sun grilling you amidst a Cedar Rapids, IA summer scorcher, replete with a 113 heat index, only to feel the discomfort of ink sticking to your skin. That’s upsetting, especially due to the fact that baseball uniforms are costly. Hopefully, those curious eyes of your special fan didn’t notice that.

You and your Cedar Rapids, IA team, as well as your front-and-center, dedicated fan(s), justify far better. Give us a call today at 636-926-2777 or contact us online.

Cedar Rapids, IA 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 ideal for one of those Cedar Rapids, IA hot summer days, eh? By 1882, uniforms were based on position instead of team. Every 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 only a season prior to being called clown costumes and being ditched.

In 1929, numbers were sewn on the back of major league baseball uniforms. It took another couple of decades for numbers to be added to the front, too. Batting helmets weren’t introduced until 1939, but were not required for several decades. Wool uniforms and caps, or at the very least wool blends, were used until 2007. Along the way, there were many alterations and adaptations. The Chicago White Sox, at the decree of unique 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.
