I love the white one. The black is okay. The new one looks like the orange in the top and skirt are two different shades of orange (maybe just the lighting). It took me awhile to figure out what the logo was on the black uni.

Also the fold on the new skirt isnt suppose to be there. Theres tiny slits on the side and the back ended up folding in
The new ones are STUNNING. However, I'm not so sure how long the rhinestones on the skirt will last, they don't seem very practical.

Hi! I'm a Vice President at Rebel Athletic. Rebel's prices are significantly less than our competitors because our business model is different. We manufacture in a vertically integrated factory that we own offshore -- we control every aspect of production under one roof. We stock our own fabrics (developed specifically for Rebel) we cut, sew, embellish, applique and crystal our uniforms all under one roof. We pass our savings on to our customers and can offer much in terms of value. More crystals.. more intricacies, more cutouts and unique details... and our premium bodyflex fabric is the most high performance 4 way stretch fabric available in the market today. It has the best recovery (meaning when you stretch it out it goes right back to where it was without losing shape or elasticity) and is sweat-wicking, figure flattering (hides body imperfections), soft and ultra comfortable. We prototype everything for free so if anyone has any doubts just go through the artwork process and get a free prototype so you can experience it for yourself.
Correct.. Rebel originally designed and prototyped this uniform for MT, but as a gym whose owner had a long standing relationship with GK, they ended up taking our prototype to GK, who proceeded to create a simplified version of our Rebel Purple Label Collection design. The one they wore at 2014 Cheerleading Worlds was not the Rebel uniform, but is a simplified version of the Rebel design. MT not wearing Rebel wasn't at all about the design or the quality, it was about a gym owner not wanting to damage a long standing relationship with a uniform vendor. We have very loyal customers too so I can appreciate that. I do all the photography and marketing/ad design for Rebel. I photographed the Rebel version (featured in the ad) on Jamie Andries at the same photoshoot where I photographed Bianca Tregor in the Junglecats uniform before Worlds.
Have you seen Rebel's quality and fit firsthand? Rebel's premium bodyflex is the most high performance fabric available in the industry. We had it developed exclusively for us and it's something you have to feel and experience in person before you can comment on Rebel's quality. Many companies do their logos by just pressing crystals directly on the fabric. We applique and embroider our logos first, then press dense crystal fills on top. This is just one of the many ways we outshine the other products available in the industry. Our fit is incredible. We prototype EVERY uniform we make, and we fit every uniform we make on live models. That's how the fashion industry does it and that's how we do it too. I'm not going to say anything negative about the quality of any uniform company out there, but I will say that I firmly believe our quality and fit is the best available - and when you stack that up with the customer service our reps provide and the value of what you can get - it becomes obvious why we're the fastest growing uniform company in the industry.
Are you a parent or a gym owner? We sell directly to gym owners and we don't have set pricing because everything we make is custom... but our uniforms (even our couture uniforms) are ALL less than $400. This is excluding the assessed retail cost of our worlds sponsorship uniforms (like Cheer Athletics Panthers or Georgia Allstars)
No, it was designed by Kristen Ashworth from Rebel Athletic to be debuted at 2014 Worlds. Can you post the catalog uniform you're talking about?
I have had uniforms from both GK and Rebel. The rebel uniform definitely didn't fit as well as the GK but it was good enough. The main problem was the underarm area (it didn't hug anyone in that spot so it was always too big in that particular spot) and the sleeves were way too short on most of my flyers. I think it was an issue with them being super thin but not being 7 years old. We had 2 inches added to all their sleeves but not one of them had the correct sleeve length when all was said and done.
I actually posted on this back in April when the rumor mills were running about GA Allstars.. That uniform was a sponsorship uniform, but I did post information about the retail value. It's no where near $1500
Can someone please post this catalog picture you're talking about? The Rebel version of this uniform was designed, prototyped and photographed BEFORE the GK version was worn at Worlds. Kristen Ashworth from Rebel designed it. It features crystal raindrops inspired by raindrops dripping down a window (crystals in a row that vary in size) -- as far as we know this look has never been done?
Really?! haha.. wow. I didn't realize people still have that kind of misconception about the fashion industry. Don't worry it's nothing like you're picturing!! I'm sure 90% of what's in your closet was made in China. Our factory sits in the fashion district in Hong Kong and we are right next to Coach, Miss Me Jeans and other factories that produce private label couture apparel for the most luxury brands in this country. The owner of Rebel is Asian American and was producing private label apparel for Neiman Marcus, JC Penny, Abercrombie and Fitch, many popular brands we all wear every day prior to launching Rebel. Rebel uniforms are luxury items, just like these high fashion brands, and China is the center of the fashion manufacturing industry. By producing our uniforms here we are able to offer the best product, a true luxury garment with more complex construction and intricacies than anything that was ever available to our customer base prior. Many of the couture uniforms we make can't even be replicated by our competitors, which is why you'll often see more simplified versions of them re-produced. We post photos of our factory all the time. It's a gorgeous, will-lit state-of-the-art building. Our factory in China actually exceeds the quality standards for US factories! So basically our factory in Hong Kong has better working conditions than many factories in this country.
