Better than nothing! I can see these working for smaller girls. ....The one for Apple, may work, but I believe the apple is mesh.This isn't really in regards to any specific uniform, but I was in forever 21 the other day and meant to post here that they have A LOT of strappy/weird backed "sports" bras that could be a tiny bit helpful with some of the crazy unis. Obviously they are all "low impact" and not really well suited for cheer... but if I were a self-conscious teenager again, I'd want SOMETHING under my uniform versus nothing or versus that painful plastic crap. Also, they're all under $15 so, worth experimenting with.

Maybeeeee works with Apple Rays? High Impact - Mesh Sports Bra | Forever 21 - 2000203668
Maybeeeee works for Orange Rays? Low Impact - One-Shoulder Sports Bra | Forever 21 - 2000179547
Maybe they're going to do a GA throwback and do a wedding theme and be in an all white uni!Just saw on IG that ssx are getting new unis again ?
SSX are my girls but I thought they just got that new uniform for worlds -- and I love it.
Cheer is emulating much of what has been out in the dance world for a while.Hmm, I'm wondering if one of the designers at Forever 21 has someone in the cheer world. Or else, how in the heck would they ever think that someone might want a "sports bra" with 1 strap?!?!
I think you are right, but I also think the inherent differences between cheer and dance are not being considered when making that move.Cheer is emulating much of what has been out in the dance world for a while.
Very true, but cheer and dance are also very different. While cheer has many dance elements, and dance is athletic and requires a lot of stamina and technique, I don't see dance having the same pounding effect that cheer does. Personally, my chest took the biggest beating when basing/backspotting. I have very small boobs, but if they weren't tied down with a supportive sports bra, the impact would have been far worse. I sometimes wonder if my boobs literally never grew because of the amount of basing I did. (I'm a 32 AA/A) While dancers have leaps and turns, cheerleaders have flips and jumps to flips which I think would put far more strain on the chest. Note- I have not done competitive dance, so I can only say from what I would assume.Cheer is emulating much of what has been out in the dance world for a while.
i havent seen anything about ssx getting new unis (curious, where you see this)Just saw on IG that ssx are getting new unis again ?

I don't see nearly as many open back, shoulder,ect uniforms for pom as for things like jazz and contemporary.If we're talking about the All-Star Equivalent of cheerleading, your boobs take a beating especially in the Pom category. Every hit is hard and there is tumbling. It's no where near what a level 5 athlete does, but aerials, lifts...etc are all part of the AS Dance world. I did Pom and I'm not small chested---without the right bra, it hurt a lot.
@cheer25mom and @Beans100 I don't disagree. I just stated that this style has been around in the dance world for awhile, which is why these strappy "sports" bras exist to answer Beans100 question above.
I do believe there is a struggle, so to speak, going on behind doors as to which way AS cheer is headed. I tend to prefer a more collegiate AS style (execution and uniform) but, the hair, make up, uniforms, and creativity are strong indicators that it is headed more towards the dance industry. Those gyms that tried to stay in the more collegiate style were often referred to as "boring" or "dry toast" on the boards but, they were reflecting the score sheet. As the score sheet and AS evolves, those gyms, like everyone else, will adapt to the score sheet and judging or get left behind.
I cant upload the screenshot right now but it says "SSX's new unis make me soo excited to get IAGX's new uni's"i havent seen anything about ssx getting new unis (curious, where you see this)
but i hope not, the two that they have are perfection right now (the teal and the worlds white), so id hate to see one of them go.
