The Senior 4 Envy Team of the Pittsburgh Pride All Stars out of Canonsburg, Pennsylvania have given their GK cheerleading uniforms a workout so far this season. The team recently took 1st Place at Cheersport in Pittsburgh on December 3, 2011. Other victories include 1st Place at PA States and 1st Place at COA's at Shaler High School.
Chrissie Bianco, Director and Owner of The Pittsburgh Pride All-Stars said, "We absolutely love our GK cheerleading uniforms. The fit is fabulous! The girls look amazing but are also comfortable enough to do all of their tricks without feeling restricted. The cheer uniforms have washed up beautifully and even when their hot red lipstick meets their white sleeve, it has come out every time! Thank you for making a quality uniform that meet our athlete's' needs!"
Some members of the Pride, Marissa K, Casey C, Celia G, and Alicia R, sport their GK special order uniform,
GK's Side Panel Halter Crop Top U118, a
cheerleading uniform crop top with long sleeves, side panels and back cut outs, and
GK's Low Rise Wrapped Around Band Cheer Skirt U707L, a l
ow rise cheerleading skirt with side slits and elastic waistband. The uniform top and skirt are mostly purple mystique, black nylon spandex, and white mystique with a hint of red shimmer along the neckline. The team's name was embellished in clear crystals across the center chest and ruby crystals down the right sleeve. Pittsburgh Pride blinged up their unis with clear scattered jewels on the sleeves and clear jewels lining the seams of their uniform top and skirt.
Go with the original, the innovator, the brand that started the revolution. Go with GK.
Tiffany's Cheer and Dance Studio in New Whiteland, Indiana, just south of Indianapolis, is a small gym with big stars! Their Mini Cheer Champions recently brought home First Place, Grand Champions in Level 1 Overall and a U.S. Finals Paid Bid at the Jamfest Nationals in Chicago. The new GK cheer uniforms were a great way to celebrate Tiffany's 10th Season celebration!
Tiffany Messersmith, owner of Tiffany's Cheer & Dance Studio, said, "We have been with a local vendor for the past 5 years due to poor customer support in the past. We saw GK uniforms at competitions and in the catalog and fell in love with them. We decided to give GK a shot. I have had great customer support, the cheer uniforms were made perfectly and shipped on time. We love our GK cheer uniforms! We have had no problems and GK responded to any minor issues right away. Thank you GK for putting your customers first and for making such a great product. We are so happy with our decision to chose GK!"
Rachel Siciliano, GK Cheer Sales Representative for Indiana and Northern Indianapolis, assisted Tiffany in designing the Cheer Champion's new look. The cheer top is a custom design similar to GK's
Side Panel Halter Uni Top U118L which they made their own with Zany Zebra, Black Mystique and Berry Mystique fabrics. Champions spelled out in Clear jewels across the front of the top is a dazzling addition. The Cheer Champs paired the top with a GK special order cheer skirt,
Low Rise Binding/Slit Skirt U719L, customizing the fabric to coordinate with their tops. The glistening Clear jewel crown on the back above the cut-out is the finale of this cheer masterpiece!
Good luck Cheer Champions! You look fantastic!

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.

Did you catch the Industry Profile section of the latest Cheer Coach and Advisor Magazine (Back to Basics Issue 2010)?
Luke Johnson, Twisted Choreography and Kelly McKeown, GK Elite Sportswear discuss their business relationship and how collaborating with another company can be a win-win situation.
CC&A: Can you tell us how you teamed up with each other and why?
Luke Johnson, owner of Twisted Choreography: Let me tell you a little background on Twisted Choreography first. I’ve been choreographing for 10 years and started Twisted Choreography about six years ago. It began when I noticed that most choreographers were focused on themselves and not on the kids. I believe that the kids should be the superstars and when I hire people I make sure they feel the same way and that they understand it is not about them getting the glory. I have 5 choreographers that travel and I have about 12 skill staff.
One of my clients kept telling me about GK Elite and how the company always made their customers feel so great. She insisted that I meet Kelly and was sure that we would get along well because of our shared philosophy of business. Once we met, it was instantaneous; we immediately hit it off. It was exactly what we both wanted and had been looking for. Our goals were similar and all of our focus was in alignment. It seemed to work so easily.
Kelly McKeown, executive vice president of corporate relations, GK Elite Sportswear: We had a mutual acquaintance that kept telling me that I had to meet Luke and that they were sure we’d work well together since we were both so creative. Finally, we met for lunch one day and hit it off beautifully. We immediately had a connection; we started brainstorming some concepts and decided we were going to collaborate on some projects. That was about a year ago. The relationship has worked ever since. We bounce ideas off of one another and it’s two forces of collaboration working together.
CC&A: What do you think has made the business relationship so successful?
Luke Johnson: I feel we both have the same passion and goals. No one is trying to be selfish. I feel that the level of greed with both companies is zero. And with that defining what the two companies are about, it is easy. They (GK Elite) have been very strong on sponsoring cheerleading and thinking about the future of the sport. We feel exactly that same way. It’s all about the future for us. Our branding is about what is next in cheerleading, where is this going to go and how we can be pioneers in the industry. From the uniform design technology down to the choreography, that’s what it’s about for us.
Kelly McKeown: I think it has a lot to do with the fact that we are committed and excited about the industry, about making changes and about being innovative, about being leaders and about being cutting edge. We don’t want to follow the competition; we want to pave new trails. We want to stay true to who we are and that includes looking forward to what things could be.
We don’t need each other. Both companies do many things independently but there is definitely a crossover where we have felt that the energy could be taken to another level. We have a friendship, a business and a partnership. We both bring different strengths to the table and are coming together to build the industry. As for marketing, we come from two totally different directions yet we pull together and meet in the center. It works for us.
CC&A: Can you tell us what the future might hold for your collaboration?
Luke Johnson: It’s all about the future for both our companies. They are the future in uniforms and we feel like we’re the future in choreography. It’s like we never have to try to make the collaboration work, it’s always been an easy marriage.
I’d like everyone to remember regardless whether you’re a coach, a business owner or a cheerleader that it’s all about the inspiration and that we are all inspiration in some capacity and should stay focused on the greater good of the sport. Cheerleading is about relationships.
Kelly McKeown: I see this path continuing to head forward. The great thing is that there is a constant flow of ideas and communication. I don’t think there is a limit to where our relationship can go. One of us is always saying, “I just had an idea, what do you think of this?” I definitely see independent forces here, but I also see synergy that together we can expand our vision and feed off of each other’s ideas. Our collaboration is more high level; it’s more strategic than just design. We both have a forward thinking approach to business. We have a lot of things in the pipeline.
CC&A: What would you like our readers to know about your companies that you don’t think they already know?
Luke Johnson: We’re getting into competitions and we’re going to change the way they are done. Twisted is all about creativity and we’re bringing that to competitions. We’re starting Twisted Athletics where we would like the choreography to be valued at a competition. I feel that choreography is what makes us cheerleading. We can’t be just a skilled based activity or we’d be gymnastics. In my opinion, the closest sport to cheerleading is figure skating. In figure skating you have the combination of athleticism, it has technical requirements, it’s creative, you use your uniforms and there’s music to enhance your performance. Those are the same elements that make cheerleading so great. With Twisted Athletics we’re trying to bring that creative aspect into it and have teams rewarded for creativity. We’re coining our competitions as the “creative competitions” and we hope to be the next generation of creativity.
Kelly McKeown: We are very innovative. We don’t worry about what our competitors are doing and we are forward leaning. We think about what hasn’t been done and what we can do better.
