"Show up, show off and stand out!" is a mantra preached by many cheerleading coaches in one form or another - and the way to win competitions is to do exactly that. Let's face it. In the heat of competition, any advantage you can get is worth it. Judges expect to see the standard stuff, so that makes the team goal to be unique. To stand out. To be different. To be exceptional. Every aspect of your squad has to attract attention and to be memorable; otherwise the best efforts of the entire squad will blend in with all the other routines from all the other squads. That's why you build into the routine jumps and vaults and other stunts that make the crowd react and wow the judges. But the routine itself is only a part of the overall image you have to project in order to have that extra attention.

That image starts the second you step off the bus. Projecting class, professionalism, ability and that air of being unbeatable is exactly what you need. You want your competitors to take one look at your squad and go "Oh, no. They're here. We don't stand a chance!" While a lot of that image is exhibiting that air of confidence in yourself and in your team, a lot of it also has to do with the visuals. What others see. What other teams see, what the audience sees, and most importantly, what the judges see.

One way to bring that to the forefront is uniformity. You have the uniforms during the routines, but you also want that level of uniformity and solidarity to be exhibited even when you're not on the stage or field. And the easiest way to do that is to make sure everyone is wearing the exact same thing. Shoes, skirts/pants, shirts, even down to the accessories like jewelry and hair bands. Every visual detail is a part of the team image, and your outerwear should be no different.

Having hoodies with your logo, your mascot, the school/squad name and even your team motto adds one more level of uniformity to your squad. Instead of having everyone show up in whatever sweater or coat they have, giving your squad hoodies custom designed to enhance the squad's image is yet one more way to project that aura of professionalism and uniformity. You want everyone to know your team is "in the house", and even when you're off the field, you want that presence to be felt.

Even outside the competition, you want everyone to know your team is the best. When a squad member is in the mall, or in class or at a restaurant, you want that team image to be in the public eye. Having a custom designed hoodie that your team members will be proud to wear anywhere certainly adds to that level of public awareness. Take your squad to the next level: "Show up, show off and stand out!"
