This is beyond ridiculous. What in the world were the people who designed and/or approved this thinking?

It's sad because the rest of the uniform is so pretty. The arms are so gorgeous and I wouldn't even mind the mystique if the pants weren't so wonky

People try too hard to be creative and different


Here's to hoping the leg is just rolled up.

the capr-orts remind me of the "trend" when I was in high school when people would roll one sweatpant leg up but then everyone got in trouble/threatened suspension because it apparently was a symbol you were a drug dealer (depending on which leg was rolled?) idk. I wasn't hip enough for that trend.

Also... ya know how workout capris kind of slide down as you move? You can already tell that's happening here on the one side.... so like her pants will slide down on the left but stay up on the right and that might be even more annoying than both sides falling down together.

The boys should get capr-orts! that would be fun.

I am annoyed that nude, pantyhose mesh over the belly is allowed. that is a terrible loophole and they don't deserve to be counted as a full top.

Again, not a new uniform but I have to express how thrilled I am to see this team name on a Stingrays uniform again:

They were at Cheer Tech in Wildwood and did not allow the live feed to film them.

I wonder why? On second thought, if I had to wear that, I wouldn't want photographic/video evidence either.

Let's just hope the trend stops right where it started!

From a local gym around me. It's not a new uniform, it used to just be a crop top but I see where they just added nude mesh for the rule. I find it crazy that this is apparently allowed considering it basically looks like a crop top still

A local to me gym is doing the exact same thing to adhere to the new rules and make it so they don't have to buy new uniforms yet. I don't see how USASF didn't see this coming.

I can't imagine how this could look good on the mat. It might drive the judges crazy with no symmetry across the routine. Bottom line uniforms should compliment not distract from the athletes on the floor

Double post (sorry) but this is exactly correct. In our race to be the next trendsetter we seem to have forgotten the the number one rule of uniform design is to compliment the action onstage.

I recently had a friend post a video of a dance/Acro/cheer combo routine and the dancers were wearing all black with strategically placed white striping. The effect was EVERYTHING. If they hadn't had those (very simple) costumes, the entire visual would've been lost and it would've just been a cool dance with some cool stunts. The costumes took it to the next level.

Rules for uniform design 101:
1. Arms should be covered. Naked arms will blend in and get lost in the visual effects. Motions will not look sharp and sloppy motions will look even worse.
2. The angles of the design should contribute to the angles of the routine. Cheer tends to be sharp and rigid so flowing lines don't really blend in and can mess up super sharp motions and transitional elements. Consider the types of movements you include in your routines before deciding.
3. Asymmetrical designs are cool but can make symmetrical formations and builds look slightly "off" even by a tiny degree.
It can make jumps look unintentionally lower on one side and motions uneven. Usually only a perfect team with perfect jump levels and motions can pull this off without major consequences. It's a bad idea for any team with average skill.

Just some things I always consider when designing. Besides fit, functionality and the advertisement effect of our uniforms, their first job is to be complimentary to our choreography and skills.
