Akron, OH Baseball Uniforms From STL Shirt Co.: What is Sublimation?

We rely on sublimated logos and designs on our baseball uniforms that won’t crack, peel, or fade on flexible, breathable, and moisture-wicking material. No matter the Akron, OH weather 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 essentially bring ink and fabric together as one. To begin in Akron, OH, your logo or design is printed on our special paper. The inks turn into gas when heated, then coalesce with the fabric. The high temperature opens the pores of the fabric and then, with the applied weight, the ink cools and returns to a solid state. The sublimation process is often compared to a tattoo, obviously exchanging baseball jerseys for your skin.

This technique is ideal for our custom baseball uniforms in Akron, OH, 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 other jerseys”. There’s nothing worse than standing out in the field with the sun beating down on you amidst a Akron, OH summer scorcher, replete with a 113 heat index, only to feel the displeasure of ink sticking to your skin. That’s embarrassing, especially due to the fact that baseball uniforms cost money. We can hope, for your sake, those curious eyes of your special fan didn’t see that.

You and your Akron, OH squad, not to mention your front-and-center, dedicated fan(s), warrant far better. Contact us online or give us a call now at 636-926-2777.

Akron, OH 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. Sounds ideal for one of those Akron, OH sizzling summer days, right? 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 team they were on. This idea didn’t sit too well, lasting only a year before being referred to as clown costumes and being tossed.

In 1929, numbers were sewn on 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 weren’t introduced until 1939, and were not required for several decades. Wool uniforms and caps, 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.
