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

We rely on sublimated designs and logos on our baseball uniforms that won’t fade, peel, or crack on flexible, breathable, and moisture-wicking material. Regardless of the Charlotte, NC weather or conditions. Sublimation printing, also called “all over printing” as it lets you use a design or logo that spans from seam to seam, uses heat to basically combine ink and fabric together as one. To begin in Charlotte, NC, your design or logo is printed on our special paper. The inks turn into gas when heated, then combine with the fabric. The high temperature uncovers the pores of the fabric and then, with the activated pressure, the ink cools and returns to a solid form. The sublimation procedure is often compared to a tattoo, clearly substituting baseball uniforms for your skin.

This technique is perfect for our custom baseball uniforms in Charlotte, NC, which are lighter and more comfortable 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 competitors’ jerseys. There’s not much worse than standing in the dusty outfield with the sun barraging you amidst a Charlotte, NC summer scorcher, replete with a 113 heat index, only to feel the discomfort of ink melting to your skin. That’s humiliating, especially seeing as baseball uniforms are costly. Hopefully, those curious eyes of your special fan didn’t see that.

You and your Charlotte, NC squad, as well as your easily-seen, devoted fan(s), deserve far better. Give us a call today at 636-926-2777 or contact us online.

Charlotte, 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. Sounds ideal for one of those Charlotte, NC sizzling summer days, eh? By 1882, uniforms were based on position instead of team. Each first baseman, for instance, wore the same scarlet-and-white-striped shirt and bowtie, no matter which team they were on. This idea didn’t sit too well, surviving only a year prior to being referred to as clown costumes and getting tossed.

In the late 1920s, numbers were introduced to the back of major league baseball uniforms. It took 20-plus years for numbers to be put on the front, too. Batting helmets were not introduced until 1939, but were not required until 1971. Wool caps and uniforms, or at 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 decree of quirky owner Bill Veeck, wore Bermuda shorts back in 1976. And the list goes on. And on.
