Love it or hate it, a new trend gets people talking and Top Gun definitely started a lot of chatter a few weeks ago at the 2012 Cheerleading Worlds.  Having become known for "what will they wear next" - Top Gun did not disappoint showing up on the floor in stunning GK custom cheer uniforms with one of the most talked about uniform choices - white capri pants!  Top Gun took a risk with the new style, but the big risk led to big reward in the world of Cheer fashion.  The Top Gun uniform even has its own thread on Fierce Board and an opinion poll where, at last check, the majority of voters loved the new look.

Victor Rosario, Founder, Co-Owner & President of Top Gun Cheerleading Training Center said, "In an industry that becomes more and more cookie cutter each year how can one guarantee to stand out from the rest? GK! That's how."

The consensus regarding Top Gun's different, but better, look was that it was stunning on the floor with the style lines of the capri pants creating a more uniform look for the team overall with male and female athletes both in pants.  Top Gun's new cheer uniform has a military feel with sharp white fabric and bold black and gold accents, but maintains the cheer ferocity with just the right amount of bling.

Top Gun's custom cheer top and custom capris are created with stunning White Heavyweight Nylon/Spandex with the dull side out, accented with Black DryTech & Gold DryTech.  The cheer uniforms are embellished with Black and Clear Crystals scattered on the sleeves, lower leg, and along the style lines.  The Top Gun logo, Jags logo, and stars on the upper sleeves are created with Black & Gold DryTech.

Infinity Cheer in Quebec, Canada adds its name to the award winning ranks of all star cheerleaders in Canada, where the sport is growing in popularity and gaining momentum. Infinity most recently won two Gold medals in competition and they looked amazing in their GK cheerleading uniforms.

The women's cheer top is GK's Unique Web Back Crop Top U141, a square neck cheerleading uniform crop top with banded long sleeves, open shoulders, and unique webbed back design.  The coordinating cheer skirt is similar to GK's Low Rise Front Slit Skirt U702L with a sharp Red Mystique stripe on the right side. Both women's pieces are created with White Mystique, Black DryTech, and Red Mystique fabric.  The men's cheerleading uniform is a cheer top similar to GK's Men's V-Neck Triple Stripe Top UM113 made with the same mystique fabrics.  The coordinating men's cheerleading pant is a customized version of our Men's Stripe Pant UM503, made of White Ponte and Black DryTech fabrics.  Both GK cheer tops are embellished with Infinity spelled out in Black Crystals across the front and the men's cheer top has an infinity symbol on the back created in Black DryTech.

Pacific Coast Magic is a premier all star cheerleading facility in California, boasting four gyms under its umbrella.  Their latest competition results are a testament to their success in the sport of all star cheerleading.  The Spirit Sports "Duel in the Desert," one of the largest West Coast cheerleading competitions, took place the first weekend in February in Palm Springs, California and the athletes from PC did their Orange & Purple proud!

The Small Senior 5 Team, Fantasy, won a paid bid to worlds and their Open Coed Level 5 Team, Karma, captured an at-large bid to worlds.  Way to go PCM!

PCM chose GK to design their latest uniforms for four of their all star teams.  Kellie E. Elliott, Co-Owner of Pacific Coast Magic said, "As an owner in the all star cheerleading industry, I believe the look for our program must exemplify style, class, comfort, and beauty on the competition floor.  GK's fabrics and fit are the best in the industry and I am so proud of our newly designed GK uniforms for this year!"

PCM's Fantasy and Believe teams created a beautiful custom cheerleading uniform made of mostly White Heavyweight and Purple Nylon/Spandex fabrics.  Silver and Sunshine Mystique were used for the abstract flames on the cheer top and for the unique straps.  A Sunshine Mystique applique logo was added and then covered in Clear Crystals.  Clear Crystals throughout their design make their uniform sparkle.  The coordinating skirt echoes the same curving design and sparkle as their crop top.

The Mysterious and Karma teams went with a statement-making cheer top for the men and women with Sunshine Mystique ribbons accenting each of the cheer tops.  The same Purple Nylon/Spandex and White Heavyweight fabrics were used, but the PCM logo here is a Sunshine Mystique and Purple Nylon/Spandex applique.  Clear and Mango Crystals bring a sparkling finishing touch to the cheer uniforms.

If you love PCM's stand-out looks - check out GK's Layered Swirl Sleeve Cheer Crop Top U157, an asymmetric cheerleading uniform crop top with layered swirl sleeve design and double binding straps across the left shoulder or the Abstract Flame Crop Top U159 for similar design elements.  For the men on your team, check out GK's Funky Back Men's Cheer Top UM110, a crew neck men's cheerleading uniform top with long sleeves and back wrapping design paired with Wide Side Stripe Men's Cheer Pant UM501.

The Speed Athletics All Stars from Westfield, Indianapolis, hit the competition floor at Turbo Jam this past November sporting their new, special order, GK cheer uniforms. Both Level 4 and Level 5 teams have had an amazing season so far with the Senior 4 Coed and Senior 5 Restricted taking 1st place at their latest competition, Xtreme Spirit Mardi Gras. 

The Level 4 and 5 cheerleaders from Speed Athletics chose special order style Open Shoulder Crop Top U140 which they paired with Low Rise Cheerleading Skirt U711L, with a triple stripe hem, left leg slit and elastic waistband.  The men's cheerleading uniform is GK's Men's V Neck Tripe Stripe Top UM113 paired with Men's Triple Stripe Pant UM503.  The fabrics for all of the cheer uniforms are a bold combination of mostly Ocean and White Mystique with just a hint of Sunshine Mystique along the necklines, hems and style lines.  The Speed logo is spelled out on the front of the women's and men's cheer top in clear and mango colored SWAROVSKI ELEMENTS.  The Speed Athletics All Stars are ready to win!

Marcie Rode, Owner of Speed Athletics and coach said, "We've had a wonderful experienced with GK.  We love our uniforms!  They quality is great and all orders were received quickly.  GK's customer service and our Territory Account Manager, Rachel Siciliano, are top notch!  We couldn't be happier!" 
 

 

Trinity All-Star Cheerleading out of Powell, Ohio needed a new cheer uniform, but they didn't want anything already seen in competition.  They wanted their own custom design.  One call to GK Representative Lori Johnson got things started.  Lori worked with Kelly Winbigler and Michael Render, Co-Owners of Trinity All-Stars Gymnastics and Cheerleading, to navigate the journey from idea, to sketch, to sample - to the finished custom cheer uniform.   

"We have received compliments from other teams and coaches on our GK Cheerleading Uniforms at every competition due to our unique design.  There is really nothing out there today that is anything like it.  With Lori's help, the design process was easy and timely.  From sizing to delivery, GK exceeded our expectations.  Sizing was well organized and fast and we received our uniforms earlier than expected!  The fit of the uniforms is above par compared with any other uniform company.  The 4-way stretch allows our athletes to move with ease in competition.  Most importantly, our athletes and families love our GK uniforms, not only for the style, but also for the ease of care.  THANKS GK!  WE APPRECIATE ALL YOU DO FOR COMPETITIVE CHEERLEADING AND GYMNASTICS!”

Black Sylktech, Silver Mystique and Kelly Sparkle fabrics were chosen to create Trinity's custom creation.  The large star design on the front of the cheer top provides a shimmering background for the distinctive Trinity logo.  The style lines that wrap around the entire cheer top are what Trinity envisioned and are an original concept not seen in the pages of our catalog. Their cheer uniforms truly started from scratch. The team boldly spelled out TRINITY in clear crystals for more sparkle - adding the name to the back of their custom uniform.

Check out some of the members of Trinity's Sr. Level 5 in their custom creation! Trinity also has a Jr. Level 3, Youth Level 2, Mini Level 1 and new for 2012 - a recreational youth/junior team.  They collected several 1st place awards in 2011 and a National Championship title.
