I think the sling thong is the best imaginable uniform for cheerleaders, better even than nudity. Here’s one modelled by Tina Rigdon (front view)

WARNING – NO NUDITY, BUT DEFINITELY NOT WORK SAFE

and rear view (also not work safe)

I think you see the logic of my argument.

I note the links don’t work, but if you cut and paste them into your browser’s address window, they’ll work fine – at least, they worked for me.

No offense intended to the nice folks in Jacksonville. But the cheerleader outfits that I saw today were just awful. I think they were made to represent characters from Disney. I know I saw someone in a Snow White costume. The women are nice-looking but thumbs down for the uniforms.

I’m ashamed to have worn a Vera Wang gown recently. Geez. It’s underwear. You need a top flight designer to make underwear, just for the cachet?

Are these cheerleaders or strippers? If they wore any less, they’d be naked. They might as well be. Why even carry on the pretense that they’re there for any purpose other than hanging some T&A out there for thrills during the TV time outs?

I get a kick out of this:

(emphasis mine)

I’m pretty sure that those “uniforms” aren’t going to be impeding anything, much less their performance.

Having said that, I now add this. Sweet.
