关于我们
Blue Star Sports Apparel is a second generation, woman-owned Michigan company that offers team sports apparel. Blue Star was founded in 1982 by Dave Bartels, a former collegiate runner (4:11 mile at Aquinas College, Grand Rapids, Michigan) and high school coach (Case High School, Racine, Wisconsin). His wife, Anna, joined the business in 1987. On June 1, 2023 Anna and Dave “pass the baton” of ownership and management to their eldest daughter, Justine Burdette. Justine shares the love of running with her dad and continues to train on her own. She brings a 20 year career in leadership, business, and strategic vision experience to Blue Star. Blue Star has been an innovator over the years. It brought to market American-made custom warm ups in the 80s, its own line up of uniforms in the 90s, and were the first to market sublimated uniforms to high school teams in 2000. The line up continues to evolve (stock warm-ups, stock and custom uniforms, tents, track equipment, timing devices, specialized hoodies and spiritwear); but one thing is still the same: the highest level of customer service and care.

Are there sentimental things you just can't throw out? Game day only socks? Scrunchies you wear to score personal bests? Photos of your award winning team ... from 20 years ago? Owner Justine Burdette still has her high school running logs (before digital ones were a thing!) She has carted them from several apartments and across state lines, but can't bear to part with them.

Being an entreprenuer is hard. Justine knew that from growing up in the family business. But living it and trying to earn a living as an entreprenuer is quite different than growing up in one. Read more about Justine's journey in her latest blog: https://lnkd.in/gyMTBSEi

Happy Labor Day! Today honors and recognizes the American labor movement and the works and contributions of laborers to the development and achievements of the United States. Blue Star's office is currently closed and Justine Burdette is taking a much needed day of rest. (Here is her messy desk where the magic happens when she is at work. Note the origami from her kiddos, the white board with goals, and her must-have 4 color pens for notetaking.)
