Columbia, SC Baseball Uniforms From STL Shirt Co.: What is Sublimation?

We rely on sublimated logos and designs on our baseball uniforms that won’t fade, peel, or crack on flexible, breathable, and moisture-wicking material. Regardless of the Columbia, SC 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 bring fabric and ink together as one. To begin in Columbia, SC, your design or logo is printed on our special paper. The inks turn into gas when heated, then coalesce with the fabric. 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 jerseys for your skin.

This method is ideal for our custom baseball uniforms in Columbia, SC, 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’s not much worse than standing out in the field with the sun beating down on you amidst a Columbia, SC summer scorcher, replete with a 113 heat index, only to feel the displeasure of your uniform numbers melting to your skin. That’s humiliating, especially due to the fact that baseball uniforms are costly. We can hope, for your sake, those curious eyes in the front row didn’t see that.

You and your Columbia, SC squad, as well as your conspicuous, devoted fan(s), justify far better. Contact us online or give us a call today at 636-926-2777.

Columbia, SC 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 Columbia, SC hot summer days, right? By 1882, uniforms were based on position instead of team. Each first baseman, for example, 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 before being referred to as clown costumes and being tossed.

In the late 1920s, numbers were introduced to the back of major league baseball uniforms. It took another couple of decades for the digits to be added to the front, too. Batting helmets weren’t introduced until 1939, but were not required until 1971. 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 Philadelphia Phillies rocked zippers on their jerseys in 1979. The Chicago White Sox, at the behest of unique owner Bill Veeck, wore Bermuda shorts back in 1976. And the list goes on. And on.
