Phoenix, AZ 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 Phoenix, AZ 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 essentially combine ink and fabric together as one. Initially in Phoenix, AZ, your logo or design is printed on our special paper. The inks turn into gas when heated, then combine with the fabric. The heat uncovers the pores of the fabric and then, with the applied pressure, the ink cools and returns to a solid state. The sublimation process is akin to a tattoo, obviously substituting baseball uniforms for your skin.

This method is ideal for our custom baseball uniforms in Phoenix, AZ, 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, prickly ink on your skin on those competitors’ jerseys. There is nothing worse than standing out in the field with the sun grilling you amidst a Phoenix, AZ summer scorcher, replete with a 113 heat index, only to feel the displeasure of ink sticking to your skin. That’s humiliating, particularly seeing as baseball uniforms cost money. We can hope, for your sake, those curious eyes in the front row didn’t notice that.

You and your Phoenix, AZ team, not to mention your easily-seen, dedicated fan(s), justify better. Give us a call today at 636-926-2777 or contact us online.

Phoenix, AZ 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 Phoenix, AZ hot summer days, eh? By 1882, uniforms were based on position instead of team. Every first baseman, for example, wore 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, 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 20-plus years for the digits to be put on the front, too. Batting helmets weren’t 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 behest of quirky owner Bill Veeck, wore Bermuda shorts in 1976. The Philadelphia Phillies rocked zippers on their jerseys in 1979. And the list goes on. And on.
