Gainesville, FL Baseball Uniforms From STL Shirt Co.: What is Sublimation?

We count on sublimated logos and designs on our baseball uniforms that won’t crack, peel, or fade on flexible, breathable, and moisture-wicking material. Regardless of the Gainesville, FL 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 basically combine ink and fabric together as one. Initially in Gainesville, FL, 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 state. The sublimation procedure is often compared to a tattoo, obviously substituting baseball uniforms for your skin.

This method is ideal for our custom baseball uniforms in Gainesville, FL, 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 competitors’ jerseys. There’s nothing worse than standing out in the field with the sun beating down on you amidst a Gainesville, FL 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 seeing as baseball uniforms are costly. Hopefully, those curious eyes of your special fan didn’t notice that.

You and your Gainesville, FL squad, to say nothing of your conspicuous, dedicated fan(s), deserve more. Give us a call now at 636-926-2777 or contact us online.

Gainesville, FL 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 Gainesville, FL hot summer days, right? By 1882, uniforms were based on position rather than team. Each first baseman, for example, donned the same scarlet-and-white-striped shirt and bowtie, no matter which team they were on. This idea didn’t sit too well, surviving just a year before being referred to as clown costumes and getting tossed.

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 were not introduced until 1939, but were not required until 1971. Wool uniforms and caps, or at least wool blends, were used until 2007. Along the way, there were many alterations and adaptations. The Chicago White Sox, at the instruction of unique 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.
