Cheerleading Apparel and Accessories

Cheer Gym Texas Thunder of Richmond, Texas could not be happier with their NEW GK Custom Cheerleading Uniforms.  Stephanie Hoot-Whiddon, owner of Cheer Gym, contacted GK looking for a unique uniform that incorporated the Texas Thunder Strikerz' lightning bolt symbol throughout the design.  The cheerleading uniforms she got were more than she could've dreamed of thanks to the fantastic design team at GK.


This one-of a kind cheer crop top design features lightning bolt style lines across the right shoulder, and the cheer skirts feature similar lines extending from the waist.  Team colors were incorporated using GK's Black, Ocean, Merlot and Silver Mystique fabrics and, of course, an abundance of Swarovski Elements crystals throughout the binding trim.  You definitely won't miss the red hot lightning bolt accent between the packed Swarovski Elements 'TX' on the center chest of this fierce uniform top.  Did we mention the team name is imprinted in silver along the left sleeve?  No one will miss the Strikerz on the competition floor this year!

GK pioneered the use of crystals in the gymnastics apparel industry fifteen years ago and introduced them into cheerleading uniforms.  We use only the world's finest Austrian-made Swarovski Elements, not cheap glass or acrylic imitations.  It is appropriate that GK uses Swarovski Elements exclusively on all of their cheerleading apparel and accessories because Swarovski Elements are the best in the industry.  Consumers beware!  Under bright lights, all varieties of crystals may look similar, but under competition stage lighting, Swarovski Elements will "light up" while imitations will falter. 

"Swarovski Elements is the premium brand for the finest crystal elements manufactured by Swarovski." 

Be confident that your cheer uniforms will sparkle on stage by checking out GK's variety of cheerleading uniforms which can all be embellished with Swarovski Elements!

In case you haven't noticed, there have been stories in the news about Cheerleading - and its status as a sport. So to all the cheerleaders out there who are jumping, running, stunting, flipping and tumbling, we have to say that as athletes, you are involved in a sport!

In effort to make the holidays happier for deserving children and bring attention to special needs sports programs, GK Elite Sportswear and Inside Cheerleading magazine, two of the leaders in the cheerleading industry, partnered in a "Spirit of Spreading Cheer" outreach, benefitting an Atlanta-area special needs cheerleading team
 
Reading, Pa.-based GK Elite Sportswear, a top manufacturer of cheerleading and gymnastics apparel and accessories, teamed with Inside Cheerleading magazine to identify a deserving program to be the recipient of a broad range of items, ranging from apparel to cheer novelties and accessories such as winter hats and gloves, ribbons, hairpieces, book covers, luggage tags, cheer briefs, and warm-up suits. This year's recipient is All Star Panther Special Twist, based out of Alpharetta, Ga.

 

Special Twist was founded in 2004 by then eight-year-old Rachel Van Dyke and her mom Stacey as Rachel's community service project. The team was put together to give special needs children the chance to participate in cheerleading and was designed to promote self-esteem, team building, strength and endurance, and of course, to provide an outlet for a fun activity. The program is run out of Alpharetta's All Star Panthers facility which donates space for practice. Special Twist is free to participants and their families and no one is turned away. The team will compete a full season this year like other All Star cheerleading programs and plans a trip to Orlando, Fla. to compete at the US Spirit National Championships.

"We have learned over the last nine years that cheerleading, like many other sports, should be open to everyone, regardless of physical or mental capabilities," said Special Twist Executive Director Stacey Van Dyke. "We do not charge for our program and the gym graciously donates space for us to run it, because our families and participants require a variation of assistance, from medical to financial. I speak for all my families, in thanking GK Elite and Inside Cheerleading magazine from the bottom of our hearts for the generous gifts. Words cannot truly express our appreciation."

"In the spirit of cheer and all that it stands for, we wanted to highlight a dynamic program that is making a difference and 'Special Twist' exemplifies that spirit," said GK Elite Sportswear Marketing Manager Kelly McKeown. "With the products we're providing, the program will have some items to use personally as well as some for fundraising efforts in this upcoming year. We wish 'Special Twist' all the best in 2009 and beyond!"

"With so many people facing hard times this holiday, we wanted to put a smile on the faces of kids and GK Elite's generosity is helping make that possible," said Inside Cheerleading magazine President Chris Korotky. "Stacey and her daughter Rachel have done amazing work in building this program and making it possible for everyone who has a desire to participate. We were impressed with Stacey's vision for ultimately building a national team that will perform across the country and bring awareness to special needs teams."

GK and Inside Cheerleading magazine plan to make the Spirit of Spreading Cheer initiative an annual tradition.
