St. Louis, MO Baseball Uniforms From STL Shirt Co.: What is Sublimation?

We rely on sublimated designs and logos on our baseball uniforms that will never crack, peel, or fade on flexible, breathable, and moisture-wicking material. No matter the St. Louis, MO temperature or environmental situations. Sublimation printing, also called “all over printing” as it lets you use a design or logo that goes from seam to seam, uses heat to essentially meld ink and fabric together as one. Initially in St. Louis, MO, your design or logo is printed on our special paper. The inks turn into gas when heated, then combine with the fabric. The high temperature exposes 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 uniforms for your skin.

This technique is ideal for our custom baseball uniforms in St. Louis, MO, which are lighter and more comfortable 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’s not much worse than standing in the dusty outfield with the sun barraging you amidst a St. Louis, MO summer scorcher, replete with a 113 heat index, only to feel the discomfort of your uniform numbers sticking to your skin. That’s upsetting, particularly seeing as baseball uniforms cost money. Hopefully, those inquisitive eyes in the front row didn’t notice that.

You and your St. Louis, MO team, not to mention your front-and-center, dedicated fan(s), deserve more. Contact us online or give us a call now at 636-926-2777.

St. Louis, MO 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. Seems great for one of those St. Louis, MO sizzling summer days, eh? By 1882, uniforms were based on position instead of 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 quite take off brilliantly, surviving just a season before being referred to as clown costumes and getting 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 caps and uniforms, or at least wool blends, were utilized until 2007. There were many alterations and adaptations along the way. The Chicago White Sox, at the instruction of unique 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.
