I am sorry to digress from the topic, you are so correct,,, in another conversation in Cheer Newbie, I mentioned how much my daughter and I hated the new design of the NCA jacket, but my daughter since winning her jacket has only taken it off once and that was to take a shower,,, so this just prove that the jacket is just symbol and really it is a representation of high accomplishment in a sport... Right now, many of us are reacting to the newness of something different... I likened this to when in 2000 the Olympic commitee decided to change the design of the metals and now, most people do not remember the backlash and the ugly statements about those metals,,,additionally, I do not remember hearing about a single athlete tossing their metals away in disgust....Lol, furthermore, walking around the Convention Center yesterday, I did not see a single jacket cast away in the garbage bins, but I did see a lot of crying cheerleaders wishing they had one of those ugly and cheap jackets:p:D..
