Chesapeake, VA 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 breathable, flexible, and moisture-wicking material. No matter the Chesapeake, VA temperature 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 essentially combine ink and fabric together as one. Initially in Chesapeake, VA, your logo or design 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 weight, the ink cools and returns to a solid state. The sublimation procedure is akin to a tattoo, clearly substituting baseball jerseys for your skin.

This technique is ideal for our custom baseball uniforms in Chesapeake, VA, which are lighter and softer than some competitors’ jerseys, because the fabric remains smooth due to the printing melding with the fabric, contrary to feeling the dried, thorny ink on your skin on those competitors’ jerseys. There is not much worse than standing in the dusty outfield with the sun beating down on you amidst a Chesapeake, VA summer scorcher, replete with a 113 heat index, only to feel the displeasure of ink melting to your skin. That’s embarrassing, particularly seeing as baseball uniforms are costly. Hopefully, those inquisitive eyes of your special fan didn’t notice that.

You and your Chesapeake, VA team, to say nothing of your front-and-center, dedicated fan(s), deserve better. Contact us online or give us a call today at 636-926-2777.

Chesapeake, VA 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 ideal for one of those Chesapeake, VA hot summer days, right? 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, lasting just a year prior to being referred to as clown costumes and being 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, but were not required until 1971. Wool uniforms and caps, or at least wool blends, were utilized until 2007. Along the way, there were many alterations and adaptations. The Chicago White Sox, at the instruction 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.
