Uniform shopping can feel overwhelming. Between tops, shorts, warm-ups, and optional compression gear, costs can add up quickly. But it doesn’t have to be complicated — or expensive.
Here’s a simple guide to building the right kit for your team.
Step 1: Choose Your Top
- Standard Sublimated Singlet: Lightweight, moisture-wicking, UV protection. Perfect for most teams.
- Compression Top: Ideal for programs that want extra muscle support or train in cooler conditions.
Step 2: Pick Your Shorts
- Split Shorts (No Liner): Classic racing short, lightweight and affordable.
- Compression Shorts: More coverage and support, especially popular for sprinters and distance runners alike.
Step 3: Add Warm-Ups (Optional)
Warm-ups extend the life of your uniforms and give your team a unified look during travel and downtime. Coaches love them for athlete comfort — and athletes love them because they’re versatile beyond meets.
Good / Better / Best Framework
- Good: Standard singlet + split short — budget-friendly, high performance.
- Better: Standard singlet + compression short — balance of value + performance.
- Best: Compression top + compression short — full performance package.
Why Mid-Market Pricing Matters
Here’s where you save: instead of paying $100+ per kit through a big-brand distributor, Blue Star’s mid-market pricing brings you into the $70–85 range depending on volume. Multiply that by a 25-athlete roster, and you’re talking real budget relief.
Stretch Your Dollars Further
By saving on uniforms, many teams can reallocate funds into warm-ups, travel expenses, or training equipment. And because our fabrics are durable, you’re not replacing them every season — another long-term cost saver.
Bottom Line: Outfitting your team doesn’t have to drain your budget. With the right kit strategy, you can give your athletes performance gear at a price that makes sense.
