Naperville, IL Baseball Uniforms From STL Shirt Co.: What is Sublimation?

We count on sublimated designs and logos on our baseball uniforms that will never crack, peel, or fade on flexible, breathable, and moisture-wicking material. No matter the Naperville, IL temperature 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 combine fabric and ink together as one. To start in Naperville, 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 opens the pores of the fabric and then, with the activated weight, the ink cools and returns to a solid state. The sublimation process is often compared to a tattoo, clearly substituting baseball uniforms for your skin.

This technique is ideal for our custom baseball uniforms in Naperville, IL, which are lighter and more comfortable than some competitors’ jerseys, because the fabric remains smooth due to the printing melding with the fabric, contrary to feeling the dried, prickly ink on your skin on “those other jerseys”. There is not much worse than standing in the dusty outfield with the sun grilling you amidst a Naperville, IL summer scorcher, replete with a 113 heat index, only to feel the displeasure of your uniform numbers melting to your skin. That’s humiliating, especially due to the fact that baseball uniforms are costly. Hopefully, those curious eyes in the front row didn’t see that.

You and your Naperville, IL team, to say nothing of your easily-seen, devoted fan(s), warrant more. Contact us online or give us a call now at 636-926-2777.

Naperville, IL Baseball Uniforms: A Brief History

Oh, how far baseball uniforms have come. When they first began, back in 1849, baseball uniforms were made of wool pants, white flannel shirts, and straw hats. Sounds ideal for one of those Naperville, IL hot summer days, eh? By 1882, uniforms were based on position instead of 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 quite take off brilliantly, lasting just a year prior to being referred to as clown costumes and being ditched.

In the late 1920s, numbers were introduced to the back of major league baseball uniforms. It took 20-plus years for numbers to be put on 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 used until 2007. Along the way, there were many alterations and adaptations. The Chicago White Sox, at the behest of quirky 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.
