I do have a daughter and she’s very much a person and I have every confidence she wouldn’t wear something she wasn’t comfortable in. Sorry about yours. I’m all for protecting our students but some of you seem to want to put them in burkas.
Cheerleader outfits and some thoughts
- Thread starter IuGrad94
- Start date
Sounds like all you want is a strip bar
pole dancer during a basketball game.
Didn't they try what you want at Baylor U?
Pretty sure this is what the guy meant. I have no idea why people have to bash his opinion.
OK, Florida cheerleaders.....give me an F! Give me a U! .........................
Indiana isn’t known for being edgy or pushing the limit. I don’t think the fanbase would appreciate skimpy cheerleader outfits. It’s just the way it is. Culture is a hard thing to change. I’m no prude but leave the racy cheerleader outfits for the pros. These are teenage girls we are talking about.

Show me Kentucky, Duke, UNC, and Kansas.
I like a pretty girl as much as the next guy but what the cheerleaders are wearing is the type of conversation you have when the game itself is not the attraction.
LMAO. Almost lost another keypad.OK - only since you asked

These are all dance teams not serious cheerleading squads. I am not knocking dance teams, they are fine, but apples and oranges. Iu used to have the red steppers. IU has the best competitive cheerleading program in the country.
look it up...type it in...I didn't show any favoritism and did not try to show ANY dance teams, rather cheerleaders and what they wear. The OP just asked a question. If you look around there are some pretty cool outfits. Also many of these squads have more than just one set of gear. The only reason I posted is because you have a bunch of pile on, name calling posters, that constantly rip people. It was a well thought out post.
And I simply put your post in its proper context. Dance teams vs cheerleaders. Both compete but apples and oranges.

Ah yes...the Golden Girl.
Now you have me wondering about the suits for the swim teams . 
In addition to all the basketball and coaching experts now we have you, an expert in cheer and fashion on this board! Aren't we lucky?!?!??

The original poster should have led with the photos. These Hoosier uniforms are somewhat prudish. Have to admit I might tune-in the next time Oregon is on the tube.

If you don't want to read peoples opinions on basketball and coaching a basketball message board might not be for you.
When did I say that? Oh, that's right...I didn't. However, I don't want to read about middle aged perverts getting off on 18 year old young ladies. Is that ok with you or do you enjoy that sorta thing?
Gotta agree here.
Listen, we all like a pretty girl. And if the young ladies on the IU Cheer Squad want to wear new uni's, that's their choice. But to propose putting these young women in outfits that show more skin to "entice" recruits is beyond outrageous. And I say that as a father of two young ladies in their 20's.
That’s...not what he said. This is a dumb thread.
I'm with you on that. I'm done with this thread....I hope! Lol
I got a little more worked up than usual because I have 2 step daughters that are cheerleaders at a State University. People have no idea how hard they work, sacrifices they make and athletic talent they possess.
If you go to the link Snowling provided on the IU Cheerleaders placing 5th at Nationals, you'll see the twitter account for American Cheerleader.
Take a look at this years champions: University of Kentucky and University of Oklahoma. What are those young ladies wearing?
'nuff said . . .
For those that think the OP wasn't being a perv and was only talking about uniforms, you're wrong. He also says that he doesn't find them attractive enough. If he graduated from IU in 94, that would put him well into his 40s. So someone that age saying that young women in their late teens/early twenties aren't attractive enough and should also show more skin definitely qualifies as a perv to me.
How about this....
Can the lame cheerleaders from basketball and football. Let them celebrate all of those stupid national titles at a volleyball game or one of those metrosexually-induced, homoerotic wrestling matches. At least there the fat cows will be appreciated.
Bring in the ladies from Night Moves as replacements. Free lap dances at halftime for any student that showed up before the first tv time-out. Win-win. We get rid of the loser cheerleaders AND students show up before Chuck Crabb can even say "Use of profanity can result in a technical foul for the home team" three times.

We’re too late - I already saw that at a home game at Louisvi . . . OOPS!!
I'm of the opinion that nothing needs to change in terms of the game day experience at Assembly Hall, and that's coming from a 25-year-old IU grad (B.A., 2014). I'm only concerned about one thing, and that's winning. Guess what attracts high-profile recruits -- winning. Archie is well on his way to building the program into a consistent winner. It won't happen overnight, so give it some time and see the process through.
Almost all of the serious programs wear unis similar to IUs. The National Select team which almost always has at least one IU gal on it wears the same.
Do you people really find the cheer uniforms pictured above appropriate only for strippers? If not how do you justify the accusations you’re making?
3 pages of old men talking about cheerleader fashion.
*sigh*
*sigh*
So if you graduated in 94 you're getting close to 50 right? They're 18 to 22 year old girls and you come across as a creeper.
Long-time lurker here, but first-time poster.
Give the OP a break. All he made was suggestions to try to attract the recruits of today and the future. It's the same as updating facilities. Update the damn outfits. It couldn't hurt!
