All-Star 2013-2014 New Uniforms

[Jennie]

Just to play devil's advocate, because I do somewhat agree with you...

One, Venus Williams wears all kinds of crazy get-ups in tennis. Top Gun is like the Venus Williams of cheer.

Two, by your logic, we don't need any uniforms. It wouldn't be just Top Gun (or the other crazy ones we've seen). By this logic, no uniform would be necessary. I'd be kind of sad if we just went to sports bras and shorts, ponytails, and street makeup. I like allstar's look when it's not so ridiculous.

Ah yes she definitely does! I cant remember when but I remember her wearing a black and red lacy outfit once? It looked soooo uncomfortable. I would say the same about that though - doesn't belong on a tennis court. Its a sport, not a fashion show.

I still think a uniform would be necessary, to show who the team were and their team colours and so they all look the same when on stage. When its not ridiculous, like you said, the allstar look can be great and very pretty. Its the ridiculous ones that have me feeling all

I did properly read your post, and referred to it while typing my response. I added in the comments about tans because it was relevant to the point I was making. I am aware that you never said you disliked the uniform, I never said that you did. I made a general statement that if you did not like it, that was fine because it is not for everyone (If you don't think it has a place on an allstar cheerleader, that's fine. It's not for everyone). I have worn multiple uniforms that have been considered impractical the past few seasons, but I have also worn simpler uniforms from previous gyms. I did feel confident in both. The "impractical" uniforms I have worn have never actually been impractical. They have never posed any problems. People make them out to be so difficult, however they are no more difficult than any other uniform I've worn. I never stated you couldn't feel confident in a less showy uniform. I've even put on a stingrays uniform, and I felt great in it. I felt great in the uniform in my avi, I felt great in our v neck uniform, and I felt great in our new uniform as well. It fits our team well, our personality, choreography, overall style... And we have had no malfunctions in it or problems.

One way I will always look at uniforms is as follows :
Why have a cutout when you can have material.
Why have an open back when you can have material.
Why have your boobs partially on show when they can be covered up.
Why have a skirt that's barely covering anything when it could be covering everything.
(In no way referencing your uniform or past uniforms, just in general)
You proved my point exactly when you talked about feeling confident in the Stingrays uniform, so thank you.

Just because you have never had a malfunction in those uniforms does not mean no one else has. And believe me we have seen it (more than I wanted to quite frankly).

I love love loved a comment that @cheernerd5678 made a couple of weeks ago which was something along the lines of "you shouldn't have to buy a special clear strapped low cut bra when you can put some actual material on the back of your uniform and wear any kind of bra you like"
(I'm paraphrasing here because I can't remember the whole actual comment, so sorry cheernerd5678 if I'm putting words in your mouth).

I'm not saying that a uniform gives a team all of there confidence...that is definitely not the case for my team. However, it does boost our confidence when we feel good about ourselves vs if we showed up with no make up and our hair however we woke up in whatever clothes we could find that day... Either way we would be confident in our skills... We perform at practice the same way we do at competition, but we feel better about it when we feel better about ourselves if that makes sense.

There's actually research to support this. It's with all the school uniform studies but there's some academic foundation to support that how you dress and feel about yourself in that particular outfit does effect your desired outcome.

So if I dress like Beyonce I'll feel as fierce as the queen herself?

Or you can buy those rhinestoned pants from the Rebel catalog and feel like Britney Spears at the 2000 VMA's.

1. To cut down on weight.
2. To air out.
3. Straight men run this sport. (gotta impress)
4. Aerodynamics.
5. I hope my sarcasm is obvious

Rebel Athletic School uniform look book: Rebel Athletic School Lookbook
Some are a little out there but there are a few that I do really like!

-I really like the uniform on pg 7, it looks so comfortable. I could probably cheer 10 games in a row in it and not want to take it off.
-Love the Gators one on pg 11.
-Strangely I don't hate the big tiger uniform on pg 26, that Tiger is actually pretty awesome, wish it had a team name though.
-The black and red one on 42 looks so traditonal, I like it.
-Love the west one on 46, wouldn't mind wearing it.
-LOVE the one on pg 52. So sharp looking.

C'mon rebel all I want is one green and gold uniform that doesn't make me want to puke (and isn't fully white because we've made that mistake before)

Check out my avatar pick for a pretty great green and gold uni
Well except it's done by Varsity!

Haha ours are by varsity too. I just like seeing them use our colors and seeing what can be done, given that our main uni is a million years old! Who knows what'll happen next year, new coach new uniforms maybe?

Lol I'm always partial to uniforms done in my old or current school's colors. Fingers crossed for new uniforms for you guys and hopefully me too I'd kind of love to get a sublimated uniform just to mix it up.

first of all...all three on the cover.....no for high school... i would say no for anything

tooo much. also the green fade to yellow....no

I'm going to act like there isn't a super realistic looking bird on this...just looks out of place...also all the logos on the corner



This one looks like it's straight out of Disney's Pocahontas

LOVE this one



my head tells me to hate it, but i can't...love this

The green fading to yellow one reminds me of fruit by the foot

But on the flip side, put a cheerleader in baggy shorts, jersey, hair messily tossed up and no make up and I'm sure she doesn't feel hella confident either. Just playing devil's advocate here...well kinda, not really because I don't necessarily think we should remove the glitz and glam from our sport... just tone it down a bit (cough cough huge hair I am talking about you cough cough).

If you can fit a soda can under your poof....it's too big. I smell a new thread.
