Portland, OR Baseball Uniforms From STL Shirt Co.: What is Sublimation?

We bank on sublimated designs and logos on our baseball uniforms that won’t fade, peel, or crack on flexible, breathable, and moisture-wicking material. Regardless of the Portland, OR weather or environmental situations. Sublimation printing, also called “all over printing” as it allows you to utilize a design or logo that spans from seam to seam, uses heat to essentially meld fabric and ink together as one. To begin in Portland, OR, 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 opens 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, clearly substituting baseball uniforms for your skin.

This method is ideal for our custom baseball uniforms in Portland, OR, 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, thorny ink on your skin on “those other jerseys”. There is nothing worse than standing out in the field with the sun grilling you amidst a Portland, OR summer scorcher, replete with a 113 heat index, only to feel the displeasure of ink melting to your skin. That’s upsetting, particularly seeing as baseball uniforms cost money. Hopefully, those curious eyes in the front row didn’t see that.

You and your Portland, OR team, not to mention your front-and-center, devoted fan(s), justify more. Give us a call today at 636-926-2777 or contact us online.

Portland, OR 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. Seems great for one of those Portland, OR hot summer days, right? By 1882, uniforms were based on position rather than team. Each first baseman, for example, wore the same scarlet-and-white-striped shirt and bowtie, no matter which team they were on. This idea didn’t sit too well, surviving only a year prior to being referred to as clown costumes and being ditched.

In 1929, numbers were sewn on the back of major league baseball uniforms. It took another couple of decades for numbers to be added to the front, too. Batting helmets weren’t introduced until 1939, but were not required for several decades. Wool caps and uniforms, or at the very least wool blends, were utilized until 2007. There were many alterations and adaptations along the way. The Philadelphia Phillies rocked zippers on their jerseys in 1979. The Chicago White Sox, at the instruction of unique owner Bill Veeck, wore Bermuda shorts back in 1976. And the list goes on. And on.
