I do agree how it might be a better choice for some teams, but I didn't like how their pants seemed to fall down; like skirts being pulled down, the pants needed to be pulled up. My pet peeve is with the half top uniform skirts as well as the pants... the stomach is too revealing and unwanted skin is flapping around. It looks quite sloppy and unprofessional to me. Although many of us girls (me included) may not love their legs so much... I would rather stick with the traditional full coverage uniform with the short skirts. It is a much more sleek look with some pretty good benefits.
I do not like the pants, just for the fact that it takes away from the tradition of cheerleading, skirts. I do however ike Bladez shorts, but even so, I love skirts.

It is true we arefrom a small town with small town values, I do not think religion played a role in the choice to wear pants.We wear pantsbecause our kids really liked the look and beleived that it would set them apart from others.
At first I thought they were a dance team as well. Then they stunted in warmups and I thought, "what the heck?" They were very very talented to say the least. Sometimes it takes someone to look outside the box to get us all thinkin' and talkin' which is very good. I'm not sure if I like them myself, but I'm the "cute tiny skirt" mom, so it's my own opinion that keeps me from trying anything new. But even if the pants look doesn't take, I have a feeling it will spark something new that all of us might stop and say, "HEY, WE WANT THAT TOO!!!" And that's a GREAT thing!!!! I love it when a team does something new. I was getting bored for a while with all of the routines and uniforms looking alike. So this is a breath of fresh air.

My daughter, who has been a base and back spot for many years, said because the pants are not skin tight on the lower leg, she would not like having to deal with the extra fabric around the ankles of her flyers.
