Topeka, KS Baseball Uniforms From STL Shirt Co.: What is Sublimation?

We bank on sublimated designs and logos on our baseball uniforms that will never crack, peel, or fade on breathable, flexible, and moisture-wicking material. No matter the Topeka, KS temperature or environmental situations. Sublimation printing, also called “all over printing” as it lets you use a design or logo that goes from seam to seam, uses heat to basically combine fabric and ink together as one. To begin in Topeka, KS, your design or logo 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 applied weight, the ink cools and returns to a solid state. The sublimation process is akin to a tattoo, clearly substituting baseball jerseys for your skin.

This technique is ideal for our custom baseball uniforms in Topeka, KS, which are lighter and more comfortable 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 Topeka, KS summer scorcher, replete with a 113 heat index, only to feel the displeasure of your uniform numbers melting to your skin. That’s humiliating, particularly seeing as baseball uniforms cost money. We can hope, for your sake, those inquisitive eyes in the front row didn’t notice that.

You and your Topeka, KS team, to say nothing of your front-and-center, dedicated fan(s), justify far better. Give us a call today at 636-926-2777 or contact us online.

Topeka, KS 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 ideal for one of those Topeka, KS hot 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 sit too well, surviving only a year before being called clown costumes and being ditched.

In the late 1920s, 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 weren’t introduced until 1939, but were not required until 1971. Wool uniforms and caps, or at the very least wool blends, were used until 2007. Along the way, there were many alterations and adaptations. The Philadelphia Phillies rocked zippers on their jerseys in 1979. The Chicago White Sox, at the behest of quirky owner Bill Veeck, donned Bermuda shorts back in 1976. And the list goes on. And on.
