All-Star New Uniforms 2014-2015 Season...just Because You Can, Doesn't Mean You Should!

[AScheer]

Pretty much did do that last season with two kids on three teams in two locations that were two hours apart. I was completely willing to do that with different gym colors if it meant she would stay with it. At the end if the season she quit and vowed never to touch a mat again so only he went to tryouts. For his own reasons, in the middle of the tryout process (it was about a week long thing) he chose to switch programs. After watching him there for about 3-4 weeks the final tryout date arrived and he basically ordered her to get in the car....and she did. And the coaches that raised them (there are two that had started coaching there from our long standing program wed left the year before when they outgrew it, the same two that took her to Paris in 2012) literally cried when she walked in with nfinities on.

It was a great day.

And the best decision ever. They've put her back together bit by bit with nothing but pure positivity and a lot of love.

So now they're at the same place that's half the distance from the short drive last year and their competition schedule is basically the exact same. :cheering: #happymom

Glad to hear it's all working out and they're loving it! Also happy to hear they're reunited with their coaches. I remember when you posted the separating story, so it's nice to know it has a happy ending! Good luck to both cp's this season!

Yep, I agree on it's what we ordered, I contacted a personal friend who is also a brand rep and said is this right before we ordered? It doesn't look like it. That person said they couldn't get involved, but. . .

So I went with the all star parent approach and kept my mouth shut and figured the rep, who understood they were purchasing new actual cheer uniforms, would sell them an actual uniform. The pic does look like a uniform, who am I to get up in the sweet new cheer sponsor's business and tell them that they are not ordering a uniform top, their rep said it would be great. They were so in love and so excited. I just prayed maybe that number could mean two things, like maybe it wasn't really a sublimated campwear top. It didn't. We just don't tell our AS gym how to do anything, we either like it, which thank goodness we do, or we can leave.

One of the moms went out and personally bought every kid on the team a pair of black Soffee's to wear with the black campwear tank top and we just won't have a uniform for football and pray the liner makes the skirt a uniform. The bad thing is that now 6th grade gets to try out and we will need a bunch more uniforms and packages but trust is down with this rep. The school lady feels awful, she just feels like she should have had better guidance from the rep. I wonder why they just didn't pick a package, now that I have scrutinized the catalog. But I didn't feel entitled to get involved and do my SM job of "trust the process" Goodness, we cheer parents just look at each other and laugh sometimes and say "trust the process" and it usually does work out. Not this time. But they do love those bags.

They are some cute bags!!

Sadly, I wasnt allowed to design the team i coach a new sublimated fulltop uniform since they are going with another company other than the one i work for.(it took alot out of me to not have full design control lol) But at the end of the day im fine with it because we just finished sizing our kids, We place the full order on monday, and receive them the first or second week of October. Oh and they were only 85$ and the quality is amazing. It is the same company that printed the Rain Athletics Aqua worlds uniforms i designed. Ill def post photos once i received them!

Are you allowed to say what company? Sounds like an amazing deal, great turn around time, and if you say great quality I believe it!

The design is what parents were presented and voted on to pay 323 for, which also included chevron duffle and a chevron bow.View attachment 599

The pics are what we received plus some Cheerleader II shoes by Varsity that we have no clue how they ended up ordering. We were supposed to buy our own pair of Varsity Last Pass. Rep has the okay form that the school sponsor one day I guess came in and decided to just place order and switch it up herself. We own this mess of no actual uniform. They can't wear tank for football games, 1, it is camp wear sublimated tank that is a different color than the 100% poly skirt, 2, not in dress code and racer back. 3, it is FL, still 100 and body liners not in anyway. Company says I have the sheet of stuff that was authorized. Great. Not authorized by the kids wearing it or the parents buying it. We authorized that we would buy the design presented to us. Too bad so sad on even buying another shell, won't be in in time. Frustrated and disappointed. They are telling us after conversations with the company today, we will have to just wear a tshirt with the skirt for football and we will just love the bodyliners and the bodyliner and the skirt will be the uniform they compete in!! Wow.

Looking at this further and reading codes and such, it looks like what was ordered was on that approved sheet/list with photos.
If you look at the first item on the list you see that is says "none" for top, but has a code for a liner. Which it looks like its an embroidered liner. As for the Tank uniform, if the skirt is sublimated too it looks like one of the practice/camp gear packages on pages 10-12 in the varsity spirit 2014 catolog, in fact the same design is on page 12. So what was ordered was not a uniform. I dont beleive this is the varsity reps fault unless the person that approved this list was told diffrently by that rep. Although, the style codes on the sheet are not uniforms. Always double check because everyone makes mistakes Im sorry this happened and i hope it gets resolved!

Funtastic Flyers new program uni. It would've made such a good crop top, but the star and the nude mesh are a no.

 

[marissa.d]

for some reason I am loving that FF uniform....

 

[ian]

Funtastic Flyers new program uni. no.

I would like this a lot more if the black was solid, instead of the stones or sequins or whatever that is... Not bad though... Would love to see what the mesh looks like on different skin tones... Do darker girls get darker mesh to match their skin? Lol

Does nude mesh 'count' as a full top? Agree about it being a pretty crop!

This is the East location. They may be getting different/new uniforms than the Tampa location. As far as I know- the main Brandon location in Tampa is keeping the Worlds uniforms they had last year for their worlds teams this year.

I'm confused about what's going on with that right hip (her left). It's a leo under a skort I guess? It looks like the top and bottom are supposed to flow, but they really don't.
