Pittsburgh, PA Baseball Uniforms From STL Shirt Co.: What is Sublimation?

We bank on sublimated designs and logos on our baseball uniforms that will never fade, peel, or crack on flexible, breathable, and moisture-wicking material. Regardless of the Pittsburgh, PA temperature or environmental situations. Sublimation printing, also called “all over printing” as it lets you use a design or logo that spans from seam to seam, uses heat to basically meld fabric and ink together as one. To begin in Pittsburgh, PA, your logo or design is printed on our special paper. The inks coalesce with the fabric, after being heated and turning into gas. The high temperature opens the pores of the fabric and then, with the activated weight, 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 method is perfect for our custom baseball uniforms in Pittsburgh, PA, which are lighter and more comfortable 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 barraging you amidst a Pittsburgh, PA 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 curious eyes in the front row didn’t notice that.

You and your Pittsburgh, PA squad, not to mention your easily-seen, devoted fan(s), deserve better. Give us a call today at 636-926-2777 or contact us online.

Pittsburgh, PA 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. Seems great for one of those Pittsburgh, PA sizzling summer days, eh? By 1882, uniforms were based on position rather than team. Every 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 quite take off brilliantly, lasting only a season before being called clown costumes and getting tossed.

In the late 1920s, numbers were sewn on the back of major league baseball uniforms. It took another couple of decades for numbers to be put on the front, too. Batting helmets weren’t introduced until 1939, and were not required until 1971. Wool caps and uniforms, or at least wool blends, were used until 2007. There were many alterations and adaptations along the way. The Chicago White Sox, at the behest of quirky 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.
