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

We count on sublimated logos and designs on our baseball uniforms that will never fade, peel, or crack on breathable, flexible, and moisture-wicking material. Regardless of the Rockford, IL temperature or conditions. 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 combine ink and fabric together as one. To begin in Rockford, IL, your design or logo is printed on our special paper. The inks combine with the fabric, after being heated and turning into gas. The high temperature 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, clearly substituting baseball uniforms for your skin.

This method is ideal for our custom baseball uniforms in Rockford, IL, which are lighter and more comfortable 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 in the dusty outfield with the sun grilling you amidst a Rockford, IL summer scorcher, replete with a 113 heat index, only to feel the displeasure of ink melting to your skin. That’s humiliating, especially seeing as baseball uniforms are costly. We can hope, for your sake, those curious eyes of your special fan didn’t see that.

You and your Rockford, IL team, to say nothing of your conspicuous, dedicated fan(s), justify more. Give us a call today at 636-926-2777 or contact us online.

Rockford, 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 great for one of those Rockford, IL sizzling summer days, right? 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 sit too well, surviving only a year prior to being called clown costumes and being tossed.

In 1929, numbers were sewn on the back of major league baseball uniforms. It took 20-plus years for numbers to be added to the front, too. Batting helmets weren’t introduced until 1939, but were not required until 1971. 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 Chicago White Sox, at the instruction 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.
