Richmond, VA Baseball Uniforms From STL Shirt Co.: What is Sublimation?

We bank on sublimated logos and designs on our baseball uniforms that won’t crack, peel, or fade on flexible, breathable, and moisture-wicking material. Regardless of the Richmond, VA 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 basically bring fabric and ink together as one. To begin in Richmond, VA, your design or logo is printed on our special paper. The inks combine with the fabric, after being heated and turning into gas. The heat uncovers the pores of the fabric and then, with the activated weight, the ink cools and returns to a solid form. The sublimation process is often compared to a tattoo, obviously substituting baseball jerseys for your skin.

This method is ideal for our custom baseball uniforms in Richmond, VA, 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, prickly ink on your skin on those competitors’ jerseys. There’s nothing worse than standing in the dusty outfield with the sun grilling you amidst a Richmond, 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. We can hope, for your sake, those curious eyes in the front row didn’t see that.

You and your Richmond, VA team, not to mention your front-and-center, devoted fan(s), justify better. Contact us online or give us a call now at 636-926-2777.

Richmond, VA 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 great for one of those Richmond, VA sizzling 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, surviving just a year before being referred to as 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 numbers to be added to the front, too. Batting helmets weren’t introduced until 1939, and 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 Chicago White Sox, at the behest of unique 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.
