When you’re part of a cheer team, it is important to always look your best. Since you’ll be wearing your cheerleading uniform, it's essential to make sure that your logo is noticeable so people can easily identify your team.
Your team's logo speaks for your group. This is why it's important to have one that represents the characteristics of your team. Having a logo that stands out makes your entire cheerleading uniform look more exciting.
There are many ways to make your logo shine. Because you can have logos customized, there are countless ways to style your logo and make it as original and as creative as possible. A more traditional logo treatment would be appliqué embroidery using fabric lettering to create your logo. To make your cheerleading unis extra special so they shine throughout your routine, you can add jewels on top of the appliqué embroidery so it's completely filled in or lightly scattered to give a subtle shimmering effect.
Jewel appliqués and embellishments are a part of GK Elite’s latest trend in cheer apparel. It is not only the eye popping colors that will make your uniform interesting. The best part is, you can jewel your uniform with as many crystals as you want! By applying a bit of sparkle here and there, you can be sure that all eyes will be on you all throughout the competition.

On February 5, 2010, the inaugural meet for the National Competitive Stunts and Tumbling Association was held at Kennesaw State University, in Kennesaw, Georgia. The NCSTA's format consists of collegiate teams competing in an events-based format similar to gymnastics. Each team competes in five events including a team routine. The other four are stunts, tumbling, basket toss, and pyramid. The four skill events consist of a compulsory portion and an optional portion. Teams are evaluated on the same skill in the compulsory portion and are permitted to select their skills for the optional portion. Each team is scored for each event and the team with the highest score overall
Teams participating in this groundbreaking event included the University of Maryland, University of Oregon, University of Georgia, Fort Valley State University, Quinnipiac, and Fairmont State.
The University of Maryland is outfitting the most cutting edge cheerleading custom apparel from GK. They are shining in their perfectly fitting and comfortable cheer uniforms by GK.

GK Spirit Wear
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.
