Valley Elite All-Stars Trendsetting in GK Cheerleading Uniforms

Tuesday, February 7, 2012 by Michelle Weaver
Valley Elite Cheerleading Training Center in Easton, Pennsylvania is home to the Valley Elite All Stars. In addition to being named the Best Level 2 Team in the country last season, the Valley Elite All Stars have earned 16 Grand Champion titles and 24 Nationals titles since 2007.  When the time came for new custom cheerleading uniforms, Valley Elite wanted something that no one else had at the time. 

The design project grew out of a collaboration of ideas brought to GK by Valley Elite and new Territory Account Manager, Cory Hines, who, along with the expertise of the GK design team, created a trend-setting custom uniform with elements that are now seen among GK's Special Order uniform choices.

VEevev

Valley Elite All Stars' custom cheerleading uniform top is most similar to our current Double Cross Star Crop Top U145 which echos Valley Elite's original collaboration of a halter style cheerleading uniform crop top with long sleeves, exposed shoulders and funky back.  They chose a cheer skirt similar to GK's Low Rise 1 Stripe Skirt U725L, with narrow single stripes on both sides and an elastic waistband.  The fabrics Valley chose were White DryTech, Red Mystique and Black DryTech.  The Valley logo on the front chest shimmers with clear crystals on a Red Mystique background.  The style lines of the cheer top and skirt sparkle with hand-set clear SWAROVSKI ELEMENTS.

The dynamic halter cheer top with open shoulders and long sleeves has become the starting point for many custom uniforms and continues to be among some of the favorite picks for custom cheerleading tops. 

Assisting our customers in bringing their design vision to life is what GK does best.  Whether starting from scratch, or customizing a special order GK uniform, we'll partner with you every step of the way!

Thursday, February 2, 2012 by Michelle Weaver
Central Jersey All Stars in Kenilworth, New Jersey, is a nationally renowned, highly competitive all star cheerleading program for girls and boys of all ages and ability levels.  Since the program's inception in 1996, CJA has captured numerous local, state, regional, national and international championships titles.  CJA chose GK this season to create their new custom cheerleading uniform. 

Angel DeJesus, a Cheer Coach and Choreographer for CJA, told GK, "We are ecstatic about our new Level 5 uniforms from GK! This was our first season working with GK and our Territory Account Manager, Lynne Mensack, who made communication easy and Julia Kline from the GK Design Department was awesome! They both worked with us to achieve our ultimate goal of a clean and polished new look, but with a little extra flair to allow us to stand out like never before!  We debuted the new uniforms on December 11 at Cheersport in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.  It was a huge confidence booster for our athletes. We won 1st Place!  Our team was also crowned BEST OF LEVEL 5!  GK truly stands alone and we can't wait to work with you again in the future!"

Following the Cheersport competition, the Senior 5 Team went on to take 1st Place and Grand Champions at the Gotta Cheer Snow Globe Competition and then secured an AT-LARGE BID TO WORLDS at JamFest this month!  Congrats CJA!

CJA's cheer top is stunning from every angle.  Similar to Special Order 3 Strap Open Back Crop Top U136, CJA's cheer top features long sleeves, arm banding detail and a strappy open back.  CJA designed a cheer skirt similar GK's Corner Accent Cheer Skirt U709R with triangular corner detailing and side slits.  For variety, CJA also choose a cheer short similar to Low Rise Faux Belted Short U520L, a low rise cheerleading short with faux belt loops along the front and back of the comfort waistband.  All three pieces were made with Black, Rich Royal, and White Mystique and blinged out with SWAROVSKI ELEMENTS across the shoulders, at the cuffs, on the front of the short and scattered over the Black Mystique portions of the skirt. CJA is boldly spelled out across the front of the cheer top in Rich Royal and White Mystique with an added layer of clear SWAROVSKI ELEMENTS to tie it all together.  Now that is a winning combination!

Stephanie Britt, Owner & Head Coach of Cheer Savannah, Inc. in Pooler, Georgia had a vision for a new custom cheer uniform for her fabulous Senior 5 and it was a big one!  Stephanie called on her Georgia GK Cheer Territory Account Manager, Robin Bolden, who took that vision and brought it to life. 

Cheer Savannah may be small in numbers, but they are big in heart and determination... not to mention Bling, Bows and Glitter!  Stephanie wanted their new cheerleading uniform to reflect Cheer Savannah ideals and speak to who they are.  The end result doesn't just speak - it shouts!CS 1

Stephanie summed up the GK experience saying, "Last year we adopted a gym-wide color scheme that we haven't seen any other program use... red, pink & white.  We feel the color scheme celebrates our femininity and athleticism.  We enjoy being girlie and the more bling the better.  When I saw the design sketch - it was CHEER SAVANNAH!  Our new custom cheer uniforms encompass all that we believe Cheer Savannah to be.  GK's customer service was the best I've ever had and the quality of the cheer uniform is amazing.  Thanks to GK, we can say all we want to say before the music even starts."

Stephanie and Robin started with a cheer top similar to GK's  Edgy Asymmetrical One Arm Crop Top U109 and a cheer skirt similar to Low Rise Binding/Slit Skirt U719L. GK engineered a big, pink, detachable bow for the back of their cheer skirt.  The fabrics chosen fit Stephanie's vision perfectly, a combination of Berry, White and Red Mystique.  The clear SWAROVSKI ELEMENTS on the choker, gauntlets and custom "Savannah" logo bring on the bling.

Good luck this season Senior 5 with your "year of the bow!"
