All-Star 2013-2014 New Uniforms

[12stepCheermom]

I was really impressed with this girl too. "Yes, a tick tock's easy enough to adjust my clothing at the same time"... :D

I have mixed feelings about the sashes (I don't care that much, the kids seem happy about it and that's what counts in the end). On the one hand, it helped me actually get the exact month switches in the music (some were obvious but I admit I wasn't sure for some others), and it must also help people who don't know they have a theme to actually follow it, otherwise some would probably realize around the middle of the routine or at the end instead of enjoying the them through the entire routine. On the other hand, I find it distracting from the skills being performed when I feel that uniforms/props/accessories/etc should be specifically designed to highlight skills. Besides, the only video I've seen where you can actually see the sashes/bows is a JTV one with close ups. How well does the crowd actually see them at comps ?

I can tell you I totally missed them the first 1-2 competitions and I (obviously) knew about them. I picked it up watching the videos. I guess I was just focused on the overall routine (or probably just my kid since it was her first level 5 performance) that I missed the details.

Saw these pop up on twitter. Don't remember seeing them here (might've missed it) but they are SJS prep teams. I love these!

And the little girl is just as adorable as she can be!

or wait, I might confusing them with this team (but I definitely saw the above mentioned uniform at that competition):

No you are right there was a team but it was not the dragons (team in this pic) ;)
i saw a team there and on instagram too that had a very similar uniform to the cea one

@12stepCheermom HOW have I not known about the Wizard of Oz theme? That's my favorite movie of all time. LOVE it and I imagine it would be easy to "get."

It is my absolute favorite mix of the season! If you love Dorothy, you must listen to it!
My adult, non-cheer related daughter who is also a Wicked fan loved it! Here you go: Cheer Extreme Small Junior X 13-14 Wizard Of Oz by @DJRizzJR on SoundCloud - Hear the world’s sounds

I really wasn't doubting her (although I see it looked like it) when she said they're allowed. I just thought I read that they weren't allowed - only signs. I see them all the time and always wonder why. Is it high school cheer that they're not allowed? (SN it's not like this is the first time I've ever questioned it, but it is the first time I've ever gotten an answer. I've asked about 5 times on other teams. I guess if you want an answer to something, attach Teal to it. You'll get an explanation QUICK)

Either way, I'm sure they score well. Most things cea does score well. Me not "getting" something has nothing to do with how it scores though. Even if they win every competition they ever enter, I still won't see the correlation between sashes and calendars.

There's no telling where the idea came from or how sashes and months and crowns go together. Although, Charlotte, where the gym is located, is the Queen City.
Coaches and choreographers = creative folk who don't eat or sleep!
Heck, maybe one of the kids thought it up!Or, maybe the coaches just wanted to do something different and fun for the kids...

But, I do love how the seasons, months, and holidays are incorporated into the music. It's very clever! JR outdid himself!

The sashes remind me of the song, "Girl for all Seasons" from "Grease 2." (I mean the concept as I haven't actually seen the routine.)

Perfect Storm Athletics Worlds Teams new uniforms by GK. GK logo on the back of the girl's uniforms was replaced by a Canadian Maple leaf made of Swarovski Crystals (see competition photo below)

Everything should be screaming no. Skorts. purple mystique, randon cutouts but I love this.. Looks perfect on all the girls and the boys uni is a great match.

No idea why, but I really like the Perfect Storm unis.

You know what I love the most about the Perfect Storm unis? The shorts/back of the skort isn't white. I don't even care that it doesn't match up to the front. What a great way to get the look of a white skirt but none of the associated issues that can go along with it.

I feel like I shouldn't like Storm's but I do? It's beautiful!

i didnt even realise untill you said it. and now it's disturbing me.

I like the combination of the two shades of purple in Perfect Storm's unis. If you only have two program colors and one of them is white, it's a subtle way to jazz the uniform up a little bit.

And I LOOOOOVE Valley Xtreme's unis. I know it's a catalog uni and we've seen it multiple times but I love how they were able to make pink actually look pretty on a uniform!

I really like the Perfect Storm uni. They took a risk with all of the usual "no's" and it worked. Nicely done!

This is why I don't like them. The idea of a completely mystique back side just bothers me. I love everything else about them except the shiny butts
