When the temperature drops, your team still has to bring the heat. Whether you’re pacing through early-morning drills or waiting for the bus post-game, the right outerwear keeps every athlete warm, dry, and ready to crush it—no matter what weather throws at you.
BUT First: Assess Your Athletes’ Needs
The best athlete outerwear isn’t “one size fits all.” Every team has different habits, preferences, and weather battles—here’s how to find what’s right:
- Layer Lovers: Do your athletes prefer sweatshirts, fleeces, or tech layers underneath? If yes, prioritize outerwear with lightweight or no liners so gear slides on and off without a fight.
- Hood or No Hood?: Hoods are personal preference, but remember—attached hoods mean fewer lost hats and less heat loss on cold days.
- Pocket Check: Do your athletes carry phones, snacks, or gloves? If so, zippered pockets are a must for keeping essentials secure.
- Range of Motion: Think about sport-specific needs. Throwers, sprinters, and jumpers may benefit from looser fits that don’t restrict arm swing or explosive movements.
- Bus Ride Factor: Long away games or meets? A cozier lining or fleece option keeps everyone warm between warm-ups and competition.
- Weather Watchers: If your season is plagued by drizzle or wind, water-resistant shells become the MVP.
Asking these questions up front helps ensure your investment actually works for your team, instead of just looking good on the sidelines.
Weather or Not, Play On
Outdoor sports aren’t built for perfect weather, and neither is your outerwear. Blue Star offers a full line up of jackets and pants designed to guard against wind, rain, and whatever the sky throws your way—so your team stays focused on performance, not on another cold shiver. Don’t see something that fits your team’s needs? We have access to other stock options, and can work with our manufacturer to create something customized as well.
Other Considerations:
Consider the basics: Just like your sublimated singlets—no itchy tags, flatlock seams —our outerwear keeps comfort front and center. You get gear that looks sharp, fits well, and keeps everyone moving lean and mean through chilly team huddles and weather-weary warm-ups.
Options, options, options: With raglan sleeves for full range, secure storage in every pocket, and a body cut for mobility, this outerwear is performance-driven down to its seams. It’s your go-to layer when the wind picks up at mile three, or when halftime calls for staying warm without slowing down.
Team Colors That Stand Out: Available in a wide rainbow of combos that lend themselves well to having your school’s logo or mascot printed or embroidered.
