I think this is a fine approach. My CP was always happy to wear the Twister name proudly. They also had plenty of spirit wear available with their team names. The level 5's have earned their uniforms (and their parents have earned the right to pay for them ;)).
That's where i feel favoritism keeps coming into play. Just because a cheerleader doesn't necessarily have the ability to compete level 5 does not mean that they shouldn't have earned their uniforms. I understand that level 5 is where everyone strives to be and where most people like to watch, i do too. But about all those girls who cannot get past their level for whatever reason, an injury, an illness, physical ability, etc. All of the cheerleaders have earned their place on their teams. They worked hard to get there, whatever that level may be. So why shouldn't they receive a little bit better of a treatment than they do? And i'm not saying gym owners don't care at all and they go out looking stupid, but when you see these girls with uniforms that took hours to design, you may look at your own and think, maybe not as much time was thought thinking about me and the rest of the gym.
