High School high school uniforms! SHOW THEM OFFF :)

[cheeromgbre]

Okay.. I though my school was the only weird one to do such a weird thing... But guess not...

This one even has wands in theres... uhmm...

Sorry for so many pictures, but I guess it's a really common thing that I've never really noticed. As to why seniors wear them? Not sure? Someone care to explain?
But I do think they're really cute! Just kind of strange :confused:

All the schools in my area wear them at some point during homecoming week or at the game. Usually all of them wear it, not just Seniors.

Yeah I guess mine do too! I never really noticed it. But here it's only seniors.

WHAT?! That's just...just....just no. Garters have such a sexual connotation.

Garters are common for high school dances and such...

I agree, the garters are weird...maybe have them for a keepsake, but if I were a coach and it would not happen at a game.

Anyways, I'm not sure if this is just a picture someone found or someone's own team, but why all the slits in the skirt? It would look so much better with just the one in the front IMO.

I know! I googled it once I saw these pics! I was kind of shocked. We don't do anything like that where I'm from. It just seems to me garters have a very sexual connotation, and I would not let my daughter wear one, unless it was to her wedding

I think the garter thing might be unique to Florida. I never saw them growing up (in the north) but the high schools where I lived in Florida (Sarasota) use them for senior night and/or homecoming.

This is my team unis and omg.. I can not express how much I hate the side slits. The skirt is so tight where the white fabric begins and after one year my skirt has rips on the side slits from jumping & stunting where I've had to stretch my legs open. It's such a pain & I think it's ugly. lol.

Yeah, all the pictures I posted up there showing the garters on dif teams are all from northern Pinellas county (Tarpon, Palm Harbor, Oldsmar area) Which is about an hour north of Sarasota :)

Interesting!

The whole garter thing reminds me of homecoming mums, which are a Texas thing I believe. Less of an association with "traditional questionable wedding activities", but still the sentiment of having a keepsake, school spirit, and something special for the seniors (as their mums are all white with either silver or gold accents, instead of just school colors that all the other grades wear). It makes me laugh to see the above garters, because in Texas for homecoming it's the boys that wear an armband with a little mum on it which is called a "garter" haha.......boys get the girls a mum and girls get the guy a "garter".

Girls actually are really proud of the larger mums! It's a big deal. That means your date spent more time or money making it/purchasing it ;) (or their mom did haha)......it was always a show each year to see who had the biggest/prettiest/most elaborate mums that morning at school. Typically if its anything bigger than 1 flower, then there is a ribbon that ties around the neck to hold it up. If it's just one flower, then it's a pin. For cheer, the girls either hang them on the wall or on their megaphone while they're cheering: Cheerleaders with Mums | Flickr - Photo Sharing!
