The Maryland Twisters blew into the JAMfest cheerleading competition on December 3, 2011 in Upper Marlboro, MD and took home 1st Place in the Level 3 Small Junior Division.  It was the first competition of the season and the first time they wore their new, custom GK cheer uniforms.

One of the Blast members, Morgan S., said, "My teammates and I are excited to be a part of the Maryland Twisters family and we love our GK uniforms!  We stand out at every competition we attend!"  Check out the Twisters in action in the picture that Morgan submitted.


The Twisters started in the Cheer Design Studio to come up with their own cheer top and coordinating skirt.  They added their team colors with Black DryTech, White and Ocean Mystique fabrics and then blinged out the style lines with Brilliance crystals.  Twisters was then spelled out on the chest and their logo was embroidered on the back of the cheer top.

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!

The Diamonds of Diamond Elite All Star Cheer of Thornton, Colorado wanted to stand out in a crowd and, wow... do they ever!  GK was happy to help the Diamonds take a walk on the wild side in their new custom cheer uniforms.  The open shoulder, long sleeve top and coordinating skirt with attached brief were designed using Iced Zebra Hologram and Nylon/Spandex with Foil and Black Nylon/Spandex. 

The Diamonds wrote to GK to say, "Thanks for the wonderful customer service and quality workmanship!  GK uniforms are unique, they stand out in a crowd and give your overall look that 'wow' factor.  We LOVE our new uniforms!"

Does your cheer team crave a new cheerleading uniform? If you like the Diamond's edgy creation, take a look at GK's Unique Web Back Cheer Top U141L and pair it with our Low Rise Binding/Slit Skirt U719L for an equally stunning combination.  Choose any fabric and any color combination for your own custom look.  Let your imagination go wild!

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.

FA Sports is a new all-star cheer program in Houston, Texas that strives to create an environment of enthusiasm, fun and success with the support and experience of its talented coaches.  Their aim is program integrity and the creation of a legacy for generations to come.  Their Team Nitro recently advanced to a higher competition level - Junior Level Two - and that accomplishment required an advanced competitive look. 

That's exactly what they got with their new custom GK cheer uniforms!  According to Andrea Jones, Program Director at Force Athletix, "We needed something different, something that would allow us to stand out from the rest.  GK gave us exactly what we were looking for.  All eyes were definitely on us the minute we walked through the doors of our first NCA competition of the season.  Thank you GK!  Our new GK cheer uniforms have exceeded our expectations!"


Team Nitro's Custom Cheer uniform is a stunning and unexpected combination of Black Nylon/Spandex, Sunshine Mystique and Lime Mystique fabric on both top and bottom pieces which are similar in style to GK's 3 Strap Open Back Crop Top U136 and U520R Faux Belt Loop Cheer Short.  For just the right amount of sparkle, the faux belt buckle Nitro logo and the large FA Sports logo are created with Clear and Mango Crystals, along with a small star on the back of the top.  For one more added WOW factor - Team Nitro went with Spats in fabrics and colors to match.
 
Team Nitro proved that they are a force to be reckoned with at their first competition as a Level 2 team placing 3rd!  Congrats FA Sports!

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!"

Spirit of Tyler, an all-star cheerleading program for athletes across the East Texas area, has landed 105 national titles, 22 grand championship titles and hundreds of regional titles.  When the time came for new custom cheer uniforms for their six cheer teams, GK helped them achieve a bold, sensational new look.

Melinda McNatt, owner of Spirit of Tyler, recently expressed her admiration for the cutting-edge results saying, "We love our new uniforms from GK! The GK staff is always accommodating and helpful. We love our custom, one-of-a-kind uniforms.  Thank you GK for helping us look our very best!"

Spirit of Tyler's Level 5 International Open Coed Team showcased their new cheer uniforms on December 4th at the United Cheer Competition in Nacogdoches, Texas.  They took 1st Place and currently are in 1st Place in the Champion Series standings with United Cheer.  The Level 5 - Sting uniform is a bold Yellow Mystique with Black, Berry, and White Mystique accents criss-crossing over the uniform for a stand-out combination.  The embroidered large Tyler logo and Clear Crystals along the neck and shoulder lines are the perfect finish.


Levels 2 and 3 brought their A game to the same competition floor, both taking home 1st Place and Level 2 winning Grand Champions. Spirit of Tyler's new cheer uniforms for Levels 1 through 4 compliment the Level 5 team with Berry Mystique as the primary color and Yellow and Black Mystique as accent colors.  The large Tyler logo stands out with two-color embroidery across the front.  The final touches include a Yellow Mystique star embellishment on each arm, and on the corner of the skirt, with Clear Crystals outlining the star. Check out the eye-catching strappy back!

Stephanie Britt, Owner & Head Coach of Cheer Savannah, Inc. in Pooler, Georgia had a vision for a new custom cheer uniform for her fabulous Senior 5 and it was a big one!  Stephanie called on her Georgia GK Cheer Territory Account Manager, Robin Bolden, who took that vision and brought it to life. 

Cheer Savannah may be small in numbers, but they are big in heart and determination... not to mention Bling, Bows and Glitter!  Stephanie wanted their new cheerleading uniform to reflect Cheer Savannah ideals and speak to who they are.  The end result doesn't just speak - it shouts!

Stephanie summed up the GK experience saying, "Last year we adopted a gym-wide color scheme that we haven't seen any other program use... red, pink & white.  We feel the color scheme celebrates our femininity and athleticism.  We enjoy being girlie and the more bling the better.  When I saw the design sketch - it was CHEER SAVANNAH!  Our new custom cheer uniforms encompass all that we believe Cheer Savannah to be.  GK's customer service was the best I've ever had and the quality of the cheer uniform is amazing.  Thanks to GK, we can say all we want to say before the music even starts."
