Tucson, AZ Baseball Uniforms From STL Shirt Co.: What is Sublimation?

We bank 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 Tucson, AZ weather or conditions. Sublimation printing, also called “all over printing” as it allows you to utilize a design or logo that goes from seam to seam, uses heat to essentially combine fabric and ink together as one. Initially in Tucson, AZ, your logo or design 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 activated pressure, the ink cools and returns to a solid form. The sublimation procedure is often compared to a tattoo, obviously substituting baseball uniforms for your skin.

This technique is perfect for our custom baseball uniforms in Tucson, AZ, which are lighter and more comfortable than some competitors’ jerseys, because the fabric remains smooth due to the printing melding with the fabric, contrary to feeling the dried, prickly ink on your skin on “those other jerseys”. There is nothing worse than standing out in the field with the sun beating down on you amidst a Tucson, AZ summer scorcher, replete with a 113 heat index, only to feel the displeasure of your uniform numbers melting to your skin. That’s embarrassing, particularly seeing as baseball uniforms cost money. Hopefully, those curious eyes of your special fan didn’t notice that.

You and your Tucson, AZ team, as well as your easily-seen, dedicated fan(s), justify better. Contact us online or give us a call today at 636-926-2777.

Tucson, AZ 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 ideal for one of those Tucson, AZ hot summer days, eh? By 1882, uniforms were based on position rather than 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 sit too well, surviving just a year prior to being called clown costumes and being ditched.

In the late 1920s, numbers were sewn on the back of major league baseball uniforms. It took another couple of decades for the digits to be added to the front, too. Batting helmets were not introduced until 1939, and were not required for several decades. Wool caps and uniforms, or at the very least wool blends, were used 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.
