Buying a cheerleading uniform

• In 1927, a company called Jean Lee Originals
  started marketing cheerleading uniforms. Jean
  Marie Harter, the first female graduate of
  Northwestern University, designed the double
  stripe sweater and pleated skirt. Harter's father
  owned a large sporting goods store in Indiana,
  and his company, House of Harter Sporting Goods,
  supplied almost all high schools in the Midwest
  and Indiana. Harter and his family were
  passionate about cheerleading, and they decided
  to market their brand to students. Jean Lee
  Originals made cheerleading uniforms custom-made
  for every team.
• When buying a cheerleading uniform, you have many
  choices. You can buy ready-made ones that are
  less expensive than custom-made ones. Another
  option is to buy a package deal that includes the
  cheerleading uniforms for the entire team.
  Cheaper options are always preferable but you
  must not compromise on the quality of the
  outfits. Here are some tips to help you buy the
  perfect cheerleading uniform for your child.

Buying a cheerleading uniform

• Before buying cheerleading uniforms, remember
  that they have to meet school dress codes and
  regulations. Make sure the uniforms meet the
  dress code so that the school is shown in the
  best light. If you are buying cheerleading
  uniforms for your child, consider the length and
  style of the skirt. It should be comfortable for
  her to do pyramids and jumps. However, she should
  also consider the type of cheerleading she will
  be doing and the level of training that she will
  need.
• Fabric of a cheerleading uniform shell
• The fabric of a cheerleading uniform shell is
  usually made from a stretchy material that
  requires stabilizing before cutting. If the
  uniform has a logo, you will need to fussy cut it
  before cutting it out. You can also use an iron
  on a low setting to press the fabric flat. Before
  cutting, however, you should carefully remove all
  labels from the uniform and iron it flat. Once
  this is complete, you can then cut and sew the
  pieces together.
• The fabric of a cheerleading uniform shell is
  usually made from polyester, which is known to be
  stretchy and resistant to wear and tear. The
  fabric doesn't shrink and fade with time, either.
  Another popular material for cheer uniform shells
  is a nylon and spandex blend. This type of fabric
  is perfect for cheerleading due to its comfort
  and unrestricted movement. A cheerleading uniform
  shell may be custom-made or purchased pre-made.

Rise of a modern skirt The evolution of the
cheerleading uniform is largely credited to Jean
Lee Originals. Founded in 1931 by Jean Marie
Harter, who was also the first woman to graduate
from Northwestern University, the company's
designs include the pleated skirt and
double-striped sweater. Harter's father owned
House of Harter Sporting Goods, the largest
sporting goods store in the Midwest and Indiana,
which supplied most of the state's high schools.
From there, the company began producing custom
cheerleading uniforms. As cheerleading uniforms
became more modern, the uniforms themselves were
likewise influenced by the fashion trends of the
time. In the 1980s, cheerleaders began wearing
slouch socks and Keds champion sneakers.
Cheerleaders' skirts became shorter, and they
were adorned with contrasting color stripes.
These trends led to a whole range of new uniform
features, including the A-line skirt, which
replaced the pleated skirt.

Rules for wearing a cheerleading
uniform Cheerleading skirts are extremely
versatile. Modern cheerleading skirts feature
pleats, which are sometimes even visible. The
rule of thumb is that your skirt should cover
your midriff when your arms are down. Modern
cheerleading skirts also come in different rises,
allowing you to customize your look. The
traditional cheerleading skirt should cover your
midsection and reach the bottom of your shell
just a bit. However, there are squads that wear
low-rise skirts with long shells, and others that
wear low-rise skirts with normal or
shorter-length shells. Cheerleading shoes must
be approved for cheerleading. Practice shoes must
accompany the cheerleader to every game, and are
also acceptable for inclement weather. For more
information, check out our cheerleading shoe
rules. Listed below are the rules that
cheerleaders must abide by. If you are uncertain
of what the rules are, contact your coach and ask
them. Hopefully, this article will help you make
the right choice!
