Abilene, TX Baseball Uniforms From STL Shirt Co.: What is Sublimation?

We rely on sublimated logos and designs on our baseball uniforms that will never crack, peel, or fade on flexible, breathable, and moisture-wicking material. Regardless of the Abilene, TX temperature or conditions. Sublimation printing, also called “all over printing” as it lets you utilize a design or logo that spans from seam to seam, uses heat to basically bring fabric and ink together as one. Initially in Abilene, TX, your logo or design is printed on our special paper. The inks turn into gas when heated, then coalesce with the fabric. The heat uncovers the pores of the fabric and then, with the activated pressure, the ink cools and returns to a solid form. The sublimation process is akin to a tattoo, obviously substituting baseball uniforms for your skin.

This technique is perfect for our custom baseball uniforms in Abilene, TX, 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, thorny ink on your skin on “those other jerseys”. There’s not much worse than standing in the dusty outfield with the sun grilling you amidst a Abilene, TX summer scorcher, replete with a 113 heat index, only to feel the discomfort of ink sticking to your skin. That’s humiliating, particularly seeing as baseball uniforms are costly. We can hope, for your sake, those curious eyes in the front row didn’t notice that.

You and your Abilene, TX squad, not to mention your conspicuous, dedicated fan(s), deserve far better. Contact us online or give us a call today at 636-926-2777.

Abilene, TX 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. Sounds great for one of those Abilene, TX hot 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 side of the field they were on. This idea didn’t quite take off brilliantly, surviving just a season prior to being called clown costumes and getting tossed.

In 1929, numbers were sewn on the back of major league baseball uniforms. It took 20-plus years for the digits to be put on the front, too. Batting helmets were not introduced until 1939, but were not required until 1971. Wool uniforms and caps, or at the very least wool blends, were utilized until 2007. There were many alterations and adaptations along the way. The Philadelphia Phillies rocked zippers on their jerseys in 1979. The Chicago White Sox, at the instruction of unique owner Bill Veeck, wore Bermuda shorts back in 1976. And the list goes on. And on.
