Downey, CA Baseball Uniforms From STL Shirt Co.: What is Sublimation?

We rely on sublimated logos and designs on our baseball uniforms that will never crack, peel, or fade on breathable, flexible, and moisture-wicking material. Regardless of the Downey, CA weather or environmental situations. Sublimation printing, also called “all over printing” as it allows you to utilize a design or logo that spans from seam to seam, uses heat to essentially bring ink and fabric together as one. To start in Downey, CA, your logo or design is printed on our special paper. The inks combine with the fabric, after being heated and turning into gas. The high temperature opens the pores of the fabric and then, with the activated weight, the ink cools and returns to a solid form. The sublimation process is often compared to a tattoo, obviously substituting baseball uniforms for your skin.

This technique is perfect for our custom baseball uniforms in Downey, CA, 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’s not much worse than standing out in the field with the sun beating down on you amidst a Downey, CA summer scorcher, replete with a 113 heat index, only to feel the displeasure of your uniform numbers melting to your skin. That’s embarrassing, particularly due to the fact that baseball uniforms cost money. We can hope, for your sake, those curious eyes of your special fan didn’t see that.

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

Downey, CA 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. Seems ideal for one of those Downey, CA sizzling summer days, eh? By 1882, uniforms were based on position rather than team. Each first baseman, for example, 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 called clown costumes and being ditched.

In 1929, numbers were introduced to the back of major league baseball uniforms. It took 20-plus years for the digits to be added to the front, too. Batting helmets were not introduced until 1939, and were not required for several decades. Wool caps and uniforms, or at least wool blends, were used until 2007. There were many alterations and adaptations along the way. The Chicago White Sox, at the decree of quirky owner Bill Veeck, wore Bermuda shorts in 1976. The Philadelphia Phillies rocked zippers on their jerseys in 1979. And the list goes on. And on.
