Knoxville, TN 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 breathable, flexible, and moisture-wicking material. No matter the Knoxville, TN weather or environmental situations. Sublimation printing, also called “all over printing” as it allows you to utilize a design or logo that goes from seam to seam, uses heat to basically meld ink and fabric together as one. Initially in Knoxville, TN, your logo or design is printed on our special paper. The inks coalesce with the fabric, after being heated and turning into gas. 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, clearly exchanging baseball uniforms for your skin.

This technique is perfect for our custom baseball uniforms in Knoxville, TN, which are lighter and more comfortable than some competitors’ jerseys, because the fabric remains smooth due to the printing melding with the fabric, as opposed to feeling the dried, thorny 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 Knoxville, TN summer scorcher, replete with a 113 heat index, only to feel the discomfort of ink melting to your skin. That’s embarrassing, particularly seeing as baseball uniforms cost money. We can hope, for your sake, those curious eyes of your special fan didn’t see that.

You and your Knoxville, TN squad, not to mention your front-and-center, devoted fan(s), deserve far better. Contact us online or give us a call now at 636-926-2777.

Knoxville, TN 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 Knoxville, TN sizzling summer days, right? By 1882, uniforms were based on position instead of team. Every first baseman, for instance, 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, surviving only a season prior to being called 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 put on the front, too. Batting helmets were not introduced until 1939, but were not required for several decades. Wool uniforms and caps, or at the very 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.
