What makes it not acceptable? The "cutout" is nude mesh so that should be fine.

Hmm well I don't think that should be allowed. Lol what's the point of being a rule to not show the stomach when you clearly can. And it's not really nude like ballet tights nude it's like sheer panty hose.

This is a quote from another thread (Jam Brands Has Merged With Varsity) from @ASCheerMan
I've heard a lot of funny conspiracy theories regarding our industry, but this is the first I've heard of a 'mesh conspiracy theory' to make more money off of uniforms by allowing mesh. I was on the committee that agreed that mesh counted as 'covering the midriff'. And the only motivation in making that decision was the fact that it literally met the definition of 'covering the midriff. lol My salary isn't at all tied to uniform sales and I will stand by my original position that we needed to cover up our athletes and the decision wasn't even slightly motivated by uniform sales.

I've read that post .... I don't think it was originally a "mesh conspiracy" I think it was a full top conspiracy that eventually adapted mesh. I don't think for one second that this entire rule not being solely created for capitalistic reasons, if the intent was to literally cover up athletes mesh wouldn't be allowed. Especially since USASF know gym owners are using mesh as a loophole for the rule and they haven't addressed it for the seasons to come.

I never said it was a conspiracy theory or anything to make money? Not sure how you got that from my post. I said according to the rules that uniform should be a no. You can clearly see the stomach. It isn't like coloured mesh where you can sort of see it. It's like wearing sheer panty hose! That's not "covered".

I think the question we need to ask ourselves is why does a gym owner thing tiny mini and youth look good in mesh tops that give an illusion of their stomach being bare? What's wrong with a normal uniform? I prefer volleyball type outfits for cheer and not all this nonsense.

As long as there is mesh, the rule is met. Ridiculous, but met.

That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Nude sheer mesh is "covered" is pure stupidity. Shake my head...a lot

You're not the only one who thinks this way, but this is why I have a hard time believing any of the 'good intentions' of this new uniform rule.

What I meant was no one said mesh would count as a cover up nor was it even a thought until GK, an entirely different company, came out with the infamous F5 uniforms. Those uniforms came out after the full top rule was announced that it would eventually take place. It was only after that gym owners wanted to incorporate the same mesh stomach design into their own gym uniforms. I can only guess USASF decided to include mesh as an acceptable form of coverage after the fact. Had all those gyms bought uniforms with mesh that first year or two, and then USASF came out and said they wouldn't count, and they would have to buy ANOTHER uniform within the 3 year time frame, then I would be a little suspicious. I hate stomach mesh, but considering Varsity isn't the one that came up with the idea I can't really put them to blame for this particular situation.

Finally got CP's uniform! I can't share a picture until after Sunday when they reveal all of the uniforms (prep teams were the only ones to get theirs so far) but it is adorable!
