If you're paying attention to the trends in women's athletics uniforms, you might think there's a global shortage of cloth. And when it comes to cheerleaders, one could assume the trend is to take off as much as possible. Try telling that to the University of Idaho football cheerleaders. After fans complained about the girls' skimpy new look, the squad added inches back to the revealing halter top and miniskirt combo.
Before you start complaining about staid Idahoans, it seems the issue wasn't just prudishness. "Girls are just bigger these days," said Shelly Robson, the Idaho Vandals' spirit squad adviser. She further sized up the scandal by observing, "Not everybody's a size zero."
It seems that some people thought the revealing cheerleading uniforms revealed altogether too much cheerleader, though we'd argue that more lady equals more spirit.
