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

We bank on sublimated designs and logos on our baseball uniforms that will never fade, peel, or crack on breathable, flexible, and moisture-wicking material. Regardless of the Springfield, 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 basically bring ink and fabric together as one. Initially in Springfield, IL, your design or logo is printed on our special paper. The inks turn into gas when heated, then combine with the fabric. The heat exposes 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 Springfield, IL, which are lighter and softer than some competitors’ jerseys, because the fabric remains smooth due to the printing melding with the fabric, as opposed to feeling the dried, thorny ink on your skin on those competitors’ jerseys. There is not much worse than standing in the dusty outfield with the sun barraging you amidst a Springfield, IL summer scorcher, replete with a 113 heat index, only to feel the discomfort of your uniform numbers sticking to your skin. That’s embarrassing, particularly due to the fact that baseball uniforms cost money. Hopefully, those inquisitive eyes of your special fan didn’t notice that.

You and your Springfield, IL squad, to say nothing of your front-and-center, devoted fan(s), deserve far better. Give us a call now at 636-926-2777 or contact us online.

Springfield, 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. Seems ideal for one of those Springfield, IL hot summer days, right? By 1882, uniforms were based on position instead of team. Every first baseman, for example, donned 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 referred to as clown costumes and being tossed.

In the late 1920s, numbers were sewn on the back of major league baseball uniforms. It took 20-plus years for numbers to be put on the front, too. Batting helmets were not introduced until 1939, but were not required for several decades. Wool caps and uniforms, or at least wool blends, were used until 2007. There were many alterations and adaptations along the way. The Chicago White Sox, at the decree 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.
