Here is my thing about the 'New' Varsity Uniforms (AKA the GK knockoffs) They havent spent all the time and effort into getting the 'perfect fit'. Just because it looks like a GK - doesnt mean it is.
Here are EIGHT questions and Answers Regarding GK Uniforms:
1. What are the performance characteristics of your fabrics?
______________________________
GK works directly with select fabric mills to develop four-way super-stretch fabrics specific to our
stringent specifications.
2. How do you ensure proper uniform fit?
_____________________________________________
GK’s reputation was built on the perfect fit of its garments. In fact, we have a proprietary fit
formula and a full-time, dedicated fit specialist on sta

to ensure optimum comfort and
performance with each uniform.
3. What sewing methods are used when constructing your garment?
_______________________
GK uses a four thread safety stitch instead of the industry norm of three threads. GK garments
are sewn with 16 stitches per inch compared to the norm of 12 to 14 per inch. GK uniforms are
the most durable uniforms on the market.
4. How large is your selection of fabric and embellishments?
______________________________
GK o
ff
ers the industry’s largest selection of fabrics, colors and prints and the widest array of
embellishment options including jewels, embroidery, bridge laser, Sequinz, and imprinting.
5. What types of jewels do you use?
__________________________________________________
GK pioneered the use of jewels in gymnastics 15 years ago and introduced them in to cheer. We
use only world’s finest Austrian-made Swarovski crystals, not cheap glass or acrylic imitations.
Caution: under bright lights, all varieties of jewel may look similar, but under stage lighting, real
crystals will “light up” while imitations will falter.
6. What testing and inspection procedures are performed?
_______________________________
GK inspects and rigorously tests every single roll of fabric we purchase before sending it into
production. Throughout the production process, each garment undergoes a stringent 11-point
inspection process to ensure the highest quality and consistency.
7. Who actually manufactures your cheer uniforms?
_____________________________________
All manufacturing is done under one roof at GK to maximize quality control. Most of our
competitors do not have the capacity or capability for in house production. GK does not
manufacture through sub-contractors so you can be assured your uniforms meet the highest GK
production standards.
8. Describe the approach of your design team?

GK has an experienced group of well-educated fashion designers who understand that creativity,
performance, quality, and construction are equally important to a customer. Intensive market
research and
