Wilmington, NC Baseball Uniforms From STL Shirt Co.: What is Sublimation?

We bank on sublimated logos and designs on our baseball uniforms that won’t fade, peel, or crack on breathable, flexible, and moisture-wicking material. No matter the Wilmington, NC temperature or conditions. Sublimation printing, also called “all over printing” as it lets you utilize a design or logo that goes from seam to seam, uses heat to essentially bring fabric and ink together as one. Initially in Wilmington, NC, your design or logo is printed on our special paper. The inks turn into gas when heated, then combine with the fabric. The heat opens the pores of the fabric and then, with the applied pressure, the ink cools and returns to a solid form. The sublimation procedure is often compared to a tattoo, clearly substituting baseball jerseys for your skin.

This method is perfect for our custom baseball uniforms in Wilmington, NC, which are lighter and softer 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 other jerseys”. There is nothing worse than standing out in the field with the sun grilling you amidst a Wilmington, NC 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 are costly. Hopefully, those inquisitive eyes in the front row didn’t see that.

You and your Wilmington, NC team, not to mention your easily-seen, dedicated fan(s), deserve far better. Give us a call now at 636-926-2777 or contact us online.

Wilmington, NC 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 ideal for one of those Wilmington, NC sizzling summer days, right? By 1882, uniforms were based on position instead of team. Each 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 just a season before being called 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 the digits to be put on the front, too. Batting helmets were not introduced until 1939, and were not required until 1971. Wool uniforms and caps, or at 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.
