Des Moines, IA Baseball Uniforms From STL Shirt Co.: What is Sublimation?

We bank on sublimated designs and logos on our baseball uniforms that won’t crack, peel, or fade on breathable, flexible, and moisture-wicking material. Regardless of the Des Moines, IA 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 essentially combine fabric and ink together as one. To start in Des Moines, IA, your logo or design is printed on our special paper. The inks turn into gas when heated, then combine with the fabric. The heat opens the pores of the fabric and then, with the applied pressure, the ink cools and returns to a solid state. The sublimation process is often compared to a tattoo, clearly exchanging baseball uniforms for your skin.

This technique is ideal for our custom baseball uniforms in Des Moines, IA, which are lighter and softer than some competitors’ jerseys, because the fabric stays 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 Des Moines, IA summer scorcher, replete with a 113 heat index, only to feel the discomfort of your uniform numbers sticking to your skin. That’s humiliating, 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 Des Moines, IA squad, not to mention your front-and-center, devoted fan(s), warrant better. Give us a call today at 636-926-2777 or contact us online.

Des Moines, IA 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 Des Moines, IA hot summer days, eh? By 1882, uniforms were based on position instead of team. Every first baseman, for instance, donned the same scarlet-and-white-striped shirt and bowtie, no matter which side of the field they were on. This idea didn’t quite take off brilliantly, surviving only a season prior to being called clown costumes and getting 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 added to the front, too. Batting helmets weren’t introduced until 1939, and were not required for several decades. 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 instruction of quirky owner Bill Veeck, wore Bermuda shorts back in 1976. And the list goes on. And on.
