F5 Rocks Worlds in GK Custom Cheer Uniform

Wednesday, May 16, 2012 by Michelle Weaver

F5 knows how to do different - or did everyone show up to Worlds in a zebra-striped stretch Hummer? One of the most talked about cheer uniforms at Worlds this year was the Maryland Twisters F5 GK cheerleading uniform.  There was lots of speculation...is it all one piece? Is it a leo? Is it see through?  From the minute the F5 athletes exited their fierce ride - the reviews began.  Spectacular! Stunning! Unlike anything seen before! The best bling ever!  One theme emerged from the chatter about the F5 uni - they made a full top fierce!

But, it wasn't a full top - it actually was a custom GK gymnastics leotard with matching shorts as many speculated!  F5 proved that an extra secure GK cheer uniform works without sacrificing style. The F5 custom, long sleeved leotard is made with Black Nylon/Spandex and Black Mesh with Shadowproof Lining giving the illusion of sheerness.  It is accented with Ocean Mystique and White Sparkle z-stitch design elements.  The matching GK cheer shorts are made with the same Black Nylon/Spandex, Ocean Mystique, and White Sparkle fabrics.  F5 raised the bar with their artistic use of Swarovski Brilliance crystals scattered all over the uniform and lighting up the F5 Logo on the front. The stunning result was a bold new look for the F5 athletes and all that bling coordinated quite nicely with their Silver Medal win for Large Senior All Girl at the Worlds Competition.  Congratulations F5!

Tara Cain, Owner, Maryland Twisters, said, “F5 is different because we can take the obvious and twist it into something innovative, not just in our skills, but also in our cheer uniforms. GK took F5’s different vision of a full top uniform and created a masterpiece. Not only is F5 different, but GK stepped up and delivered a beautifully unique uniform design. Thank you GK for creating a stunning out-of-the-box look for F5.”

Central Jersey All Stars Win Big With First GK Cheerleading Uniform!

Thursday, February 2, 2012 by Michelle Weaver
Central Jersey All Stars in Kenilworth, New Jersey, is a nationally renowned, highly competitive all star cheerleading program for girls and boys of all ages and ability levels.  Since the program's inception in 1996, CJA has captured numerous local, state, regional, national and international championships titles.  CJA chose GK this season to create their new custom cheerleading uniform. 

Angel DeJesus, a Cheer Coach and Choreographer for CJA, told GK, "We are ecstatic about our new Level 5 uniforms from GK! This was our first season working with GK and our Territory Account Manager, Lynne Mensack, who made communication easy and Julia Kline from the GK Design Department was awesome! They both worked with us to achieve our ultimate goal of a clean and polished new look, but with a little extra flair to allow us to stand out like never before!  We debuted the new uniforms on December 11 at Cheersport in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.  It was a huge confidence booster for our athletes. We won 1st Place!  Our team was also crowned BEST OF LEVEL 5!  GK truly stands alone and we can't wait to work with you again in the future!"

Following the Cheersport competition, the Senior 5 Team went on to take 1st Place and Grand Champions at the Gotta Cheer Snow Globe Competition and then secured an AT-LARGE BID TO WORLDS at JamFest this month!  Congrats CJA!

CJA's cheer top is stunning from every angle.  Similar to Special Order 3 Strap Open Back Crop Top U136, CJA's cheer top features long sleeves, arm banding detail and a strappy open back.  CJA designed a cheer skirt similar GK's Corner Accent Cheer Skirt U709R with triangular corner detailing and side slits.  For variety, CJA also choose a cheer short similar to Low Rise Faux Belted Short U520L, a low rise cheerleading short with faux belt loops along the front and back of the comfort waistband.  All three pieces were made with Black, Rich Royal, and White Mystique and blinged out with SWAROVSKI ELEMENTS across the shoulders, at the cuffs, on the front of the short and scattered over the Black Mystique portions of the skirt. CJA is boldly spelled out across the front of the cheer top in Rich Royal and White Mystique with an added layer of clear SWAROVSKI ELEMENTS to tie it all together.  Now that is a winning combination!

Earning a spot on the world famous Maryland Twister's F5 large  senior team in only the 6th grade, with four NCA national championships and one Cheer Worlds gold medal on her resume, it is clear why Taylor Hall is this month's Today's Cheerleader.

(1) FACING FEARS - Despite a fear of heights, Taylor is ironically one of the best top girls in the country.

(2) SMILE FACTOR - Taylor's smile can light up a room. It also helped her become the face of GK's 2009 cheer line, fronting their catalog cover.

(3) CARRYING A FULL LOAD - On top of cheerleading on a competitive level 5 team and going to school five days a week, Taylor takes extra courses after school to earn more credits towards graduation.

(4) FAMILY TIES - Talk about a Love/Hate relationship, Taylor's older sister , True, is also her coach at Twisters. ("There is no favoritism at practice. We fight at home, but I respect her as my coach at the gym," she says.)

(5) TO BE OR NOT TO BE - Taylor plans on using the talents and skills she has obtained throughout her 12 year cheerleading career to pursue acting school upon graduation.
