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!

Trinity All-Stars Shine in Custom GK Cheerleading Uniforms

Thursday, January 12, 2012 by Michelle Weaver
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.   
TAS 1

"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 withTAS 2 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
Trinity comp.
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.

Carolina Gems Go Fierce in New Custom Cheer Uniforms

Thursday, January 5, 2012 by Michelle Weaver
Nearing the fourth year of their cheerleading program, Co-Owners and Co-Coaches, Jamie Hughes and her sister, Lauren Hughes, decided to start a brand new program. Same dream - a new team - and a totally fierce outlook.  And with that, Carolina Fierce Gems Cheerleading was born.  A fierce outlook requires a fierce look and with the help of the Hughes sisters, GK created the perfect custom cheer uniform for their new program. 

Lauren and Jamie told us, "We chose GK cheer uniforms after falling in love with the jewel work on other GK cheer uniforms we saw last season.  We loved the GK look during competition.  Once we spoke with a very helpful GK representative, there was no question that we were going with GK.  All of our kids, parents and fans love our new GK uniforms, and so do we!  We have received never ending compliments during competition.  We will definitely continue to use GK for seasons to come!"

It all starts with a design idea, color inspiration and, of course, bling!  For the top, the Gems chose GK's Fierce Strappy Uniform Top U144L with an asymmetrical neck, strappy back, and cut out detail.  The Special Order Cheerleading Skirt, Low Rise Left Hip Panel Skirt U731L, features a coordinating asymmetrical design that forms a V on left hip.  Both pieces feature Sunshine Mystique and Black DryTech and the top has a stark contrast in White Mystique.  The Fierce logo glitters and the style lines shine on the top and bottom of the women's cheer uniform with Clear and Mango Crystal Jewels.
