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

We bank on sublimated designs and logos on our baseball uniforms that won’t crack, peel, or fade on flexible, breathable, and moisture-wicking material. Regardless of the Salem, 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 basically meld ink and fabric together as one. Initially in Salem, OR, your design or logo is printed on our special paper. The inks coalesce with the fabric, after being heated and turning into gas. The high temperature uncovers the pores of the fabric and then, with the applied weight, the ink cools and returns to a solid state. The sublimation process is akin to a tattoo, obviously exchanging baseball jerseys for your skin.

This method is ideal for our custom baseball uniforms in Salem, 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, prickly ink on your skin on those competitors’ jerseys. There is not much worse than standing in the dusty outfield with the sun beating down on you amidst a Salem, OR summer scorcher, replete with a 113 heat index, only to feel the discomfort of your uniform numbers melting to your skin. That’s upsetting, especially seeing as baseball uniforms are costly. We can hope, for your sake, those inquisitive eyes of your special fan didn’t notice that.

You and your Salem, OR squad, to say nothing of your front-and-center, devoted fan(s), warrant better. Contact us online or give us a call now at 636-926-2777.

Salem, OR Baseball Uniforms: A Brief History

Oh, how far baseball uniforms have come. When they were first introduced, back in 1849, baseball uniforms were made of wool pants, white flannel shirts, and straw hats. Sounds ideal for one of those Salem, OR sizzling summer days, eh? By 1882, uniforms were based on position rather than team. Every first baseman, for instance, 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, lasting just a year prior to being called 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 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 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.
