cheerleader uniform

Pep squad attire

A cheerleader uniform is the distinctive outfit worn by cheerleaders, typically consisting of a fitted top and pleated skirt in school or team colors, often with letters or logos.

The look conventionally includes matching briefs, athletic shoes, and sometimes hair ribbons or pom-poms.

The uniform has become culturally iconic, appearing in Halloween costumes and as a symbol of American high school and college spirit: She still had her old cheerleader uniform from senior year.
