How to maintain your baseball helmet decals
The baseball season starts, and you're wondering why you need to replace the battery helmet decals you just bought last year! What happened to you?
- Incredibly, batter's helmet decals face some intensive treatment
that even football helmet decals don't have to face. Baseball helmets are
exposed to sand and dirt from the infield, which can get between the decal and
the mask, working slowly under the decal until the adhesive becomes useless.
The decal edge is then revealed, allowing more sand and grit to come between
the decal and the helmet, undermining the adhesive. The decal starts to peel
away, look worse and worse, and make a poor impression.
- Another culprit who could be sabotaging the baseball
helmet decals in the players themselves! During those long innings in
the dugout, anxious and restless players might find the edges of the helmet
irresistible and start to nervously pick up at the edges while waiting to take
the field. This can be avoided by storing the helmets away from the players
before and after every game and practice.
- The most obvious explanation why your helmet decals will only last
one season is because they are not the finest quality decals designed
specifically for helmets. Standard-quality stickers just don't have the
thickness or stickiness to last for the entire season. A lot of stickers are
printed on the outer surface, allowing sand and dust to wear the emblem,
dulling the colors.
- The best step to improve your baseball and softball helmet decals'
useful life is to start with the highest quality, toughest decals you can find.
The best helmet decals use a patented adhesive that prevents peeling in the
most serious circumstances.
- The decal material is designed specifically to adhere to the
helmet's curved shape so that the edges are not peeled to allow foreign matter
to get through. And the colors are added below the decals' surface and are
designed to endure years of violence and remain vibrant and real.
