Elgin, IL 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 flexible, breathable, and moisture-wicking material. No matter the Elgin, IL temperature or conditions. 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 basically combine ink and fabric together as one. To begin in Elgin, IL, your logo or design is printed on our special paper. The inks turn into gas when heated, then coalesce with the fabric. The heat exposes the pores of the fabric and then, with the applied pressure, the ink cools and returns to a solid form. The sublimation procedure is akin to a tattoo, clearly substituting baseball uniforms for your skin.

This technique is ideal for our custom baseball uniforms in Elgin, IL, which are lighter and softer than some competitors’ jerseys, because the fabric remains smooth due to the printing melding with the fabric, as opposed to feeling the dried, prickly ink on your skin on those competitors’ jerseys. There is nothing worse than standing in the dusty outfield with the sun beating down on you amidst a Elgin, IL summer scorcher, replete with a 113 heat index, only to feel the displeasure of your uniform numbers sticking to your skin. That’s upsetting, especially due to the fact that baseball uniforms are costly. Hopefully, those inquisitive eyes in the front row didn’t notice that.

Elgin, IL 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 Elgin, IL sizzling summer days, eh? By 1882, uniforms were based on position rather than team. Each 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, lasting just a year prior to being called clown costumes and being ditched.

In 1929, numbers were sewn on the back of major league baseball uniforms. It took 20-plus years for numbers to be added to the front, too. Batting helmets weren’t introduced until 1939, but were not required until 1971. Wool caps and uniforms, or at least wool blends, were utilized until 2007. There were many alterations and adaptations along the way. The Philadelphia Phillies rocked zippers on their jerseys in 1979. The Chicago White Sox, at the decree of unique owner Bill Veeck, donned Bermuda shorts back in 1976. And the list goes on. And on.
