Newport News, VA 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. No matter the Newport News, VA temperature or environmental situations. 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 bring fabric and ink together as one. To begin in Newport News, VA, your logo or design is printed on our special paper. The inks combine with the fabric, after being heated and turning into gas. 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 jerseys for your skin.

This technique is ideal for our custom baseball uniforms in Newport News, VA, which are lighter and softer than some competitors’ jerseys, because the fabric stays smooth due to the printing melding with the fabric, as opposed to feeling the dried, thorny ink on your skin on those competitors’ jerseys. There is nothing worse than standing out in the field with the sun barraging you amidst a Newport News, VA summer scorcher, replete with a 113 heat index, only to feel the displeasure of ink sticking 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 Newport News, VA squad, not to mention your front-and-center, dedicated fan(s), deserve more. Give us a call today at 636-926-2777 or contact us online.

Newport News, VA 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 great for one of those Newport News, VA hot summer days, right? By 1882, uniforms were based on position rather than team. Each 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 just a year before being referred to as clown costumes and getting tossed.

In 1929, numbers were sewn on the back of major league baseball uniforms. It took another couple of decades for the digits to be added to the front, too. Batting helmets weren’t introduced until 1939, and were not required for several decades. Wool caps and uniforms, or at 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 unique owner Bill Veeck, donned Bermuda shorts back in 1976. And the list goes on. And on.
