Every cheerleading squad has its own unique vibe. From location to age and skill level, there are many factors that play into a cheerleading squad’s style. Here’s how you can find cheerleading products that make sense for your squad: Choose a Uniform Style Cheerleading uniforms come in all shapes and sizes. One of the first aspects you’ll need to choose is the style of uniform build. These are the most common styles of cheerleading uniforms: Shell: This type has a stiff, preppy look and is typical for school teams. Lycra: This style tends to be flashier, using metallic fabrics and stretchy materials. Gemmed: These uniforms are lycra and studded, more competition-ready. Sublimated: You can print designs on this type of uniform, but you’ll want to order from a more reputable company to ensure that the designs come out the way you planned. Make sure the colors, fabric cuts and skirt length are appropriate for your cheerleading squad. For example, some uniforms have cropped tops that show off the midriff and make for easier movements. These are unacceptable for younger athletes and not allowed at certain competitions. However, for athletic teens or young adults who perform complex choreography, they may be a better fit. Know What You Need The art of cheerleading requires more than just uniforms. From poms to megaphone to socks and shoes, every part of a cheerleading ensemble needs to be intentional and reflect your team’s style. It also needs to fit within your budget. The most notable cheerleading accessory is the pom, which comes in many styles: solid colored, metallic and multicolored options for hands, fingers, ponytails, shoes and more!
