After all the geography talk, suddenly so many unis came out at once! I also think it'll take a long time for me to like full top uniforms honestly.

The cover up "guideline" (not rule) has been largely ignored after the first season it was introduced.Regarding underages in crop tops: In my opinion, as an older brother and coach, i would feel fine seeing my sisters, younger cousins, or just younger kids in general wearing a crop top cheer uniform at a CHEER competition. Once you leave those boundries is where i draw the line. BUT then again, there is more of a risk of a "pedo" being at a beach where your child is wearing a bikini top than at a cheer competition, if thats what parents are worried about. Im not trying to start a fierceboard stomp the yard battle with parents right now. I do love me a good full top! As i said though, in my eyes i am fine with an athlete wearing a cropped cheer uniform IN competiton boundry lines. Once those lines are crossed its time to put on a shirt giiiirl. For the parents that nag about them wearing crops, my suggestion is have them in a shirt then right before warm ups have them give it to you, and have her put it back on after she competes. But technically that was the enitre point of the "cover up rule" that started a couple years ago right, to be covered up when not in warmup room or competing?
I wonder if anyone could alter (just the photo) of the stomach part and change to black? I'm just curious how that would look. Because my issue with the full top is the black line at the top of the skirt. Just seems to cut them off in the middleI really like these but for me, personally, I'm not a fan of this much red. Design is really nice IMHO.
We can blame the gyms who pushed the boundaries of decency for the rule.The cover up "guideline" (not rule) has been largely ignored after the first season it was introduced.
My feeling has always been that as a parent if you had issues with your athlete of any age wearing a crop top then select a gym that wears full tops. And don't preach against crop tops but let your kid wear a bikini.

This. 100%I guess I don't understand the point of crop top unis period...
You can argue that it's too hot for fulltops but you've got football players wearing pounds of equipment and playing outside in the hot weather for over an hour. I don't buy that excuse.
I also don't buy the excuse that it helps with stunting. I've always stunted in full tops and never had an issue. So haven't countless others. I think crop tops make the industry look less serious imo. When I'm playing field hockey or softball I'm not wishing I had my belly exposed and I don't think that while I cheer either.
I just don't get the obsession with crops/ having an exposed stomach. Nor do I see the need.

And boys manage to compete in full tops and long pants. I'm not anti crop but don't make silly excuses for why you need them.This. 100%
ALL high schools wear full tops, and they are able to perform just as difficult stunts. And in my opinion the whole "temperature" argument goes out the window when our competitions are indoors 99.9% of the time.
I agree with the thought here, but things come and go with time. In the 40s, when you thought of football you would think leather helmets. In the 80s, when you thought basketball you thought of the short shorts. Uniforms change sometimes. I think it's still easy to tell a full top allstar uniform from a full top school uniform.To me when I think of all-star cheerleading I think of crop tops, bows and infinities. I understand the whole argument with children wearing them but people never have a issue with them wearing them at the beach or at the pool. All-star cheerleading is about theatrics and skills, it's why it's different from rec or school cheerleading. Having cheerleaders have the option of having crop tops and different styles of uniforms adds to the excitement of the sport.. Everything should be okay if it's done with taste and moderation.
