All-Star Things That Are Dying Out In Allstar Cheer

[xoxoxolivia]

Inventive hair styles I think the 'poof and pony' look is so in, to the extent that every girl looks the same. Five years ago I was at a comp with french braids leading to the bow, flat hair but for the pony and bow etc. It makes me sad :( Also traditional co-ed stunts, one boy and one girl. They're being tossed out of the window in order to incorporate harder skills where you need more than one base. I understand it, but I'm gutted all the same.

If it makes you feel better in the only girl on my team that can't do the poof and pony (because my hair is short I have to wear it down) lol :)

Routine music seems to be mainly voice-overs now a days.. much more high-tech..
Dances have gotten shorter and less prioritized; considering you only have 2:30 to fit in so much..

Soffee shorts are dying out. Actually, Cotton cheer clothes in general. Everybody wears all spandex now. I only wear my old soffees to bed now.

Yeah that sucks- I LOVE my Soffee shorts! They are hard to get here in Australia too.

THEMED MUSIC MIXES! I know some teams still do them but they're way more rare now. Back at an old gym, the coach let seniors pick the music one year if she got to pick it all the next year. The next year, Bon Jovi routine. It made me a fan.

"This ain't a song for the broken hearted" *c-o-a-s-t* "it's my liiifee"

Ah, genius.

Yup, that's a Youth Small. They also have *way* more adult sizes and colors. There is a whole rack dedicated to Nike Pro shorts. But there may be higher demand for them here with 4 major universities plus a billion and one cheer gyms. ;)

You can also buy them online from Nike's website, and sometimes you will see retailers selling them through Amazon. Good luck!

While the amount of creativity certainly has decreased, I have to agree and disagree with this. Most routines look the same but there are still some teams that have the ability to do the same skills - but still have that amazing creativity like CEA Senior Elite, TG Jags, Cali Lrg Coed and the Cheer Athletics teams.

I feel like (and hope) that the creativity should increase in order to make teams stand out more.. I mean, if the judges just see the same routine over and over how will they choose the winner? :P

I miss the crowds being loud for every team, instead of only getting really excited for the better known/big name teams.

ANIMAL PRINT! It's gone. Polyester uniforms are slowly going too. Sadly, you don't see the cheer/chant part of the routine anymore. Call me old school, but I always liked that part

Some Cheer Athletics and Top Gun uniforms have animal print
