By Maya Singer Is there any activity more essentially American than cheerleading? Think about it: Organized, pepped up, bursting with can-do, those gorgeous girls on the sidelines embody that iconic national virtue, pluck. It wasn’t always a woman’s game, though. Female students were allowed onto the University of Minnesota team for the first time in 1923, 25 years after the father of cheerleading, Johnny Campbell, stood up at a football game there to lead a chant of “Rah! Rah! Rah!” But by the time the Baltimore Colts created the National Football League’s first squad in 1954, the tables had turned: All the Colts cheerleaders were women, and today, an estimated 97 percent of cheerleaders are female. Who would you rather see on the 50-yard line—former 49er cheerleader Teri Hatcher or the likes of Franklin D. Roosevelt, Dwight Eisenhower, and George W. Bush, all of whom rocked pompoms in their day? See more photos of cheerleaders from the 1960s to today Cheerleading was integrated by the civil rights movement, sexed up by the sexual revolution, and buffed up by the fitness revolution. Along the way, costumes got shorter, tighter, and skimpier. Today, the girls wear glorified bikinis with built-in support systems for Herkie jumps and kick lines. Thank goodness for indoor stadiums. The one thing that hasn’t changed is good old American pluck, which you will find in spades on the sidelines this Sunday, as the Indianapolis Colts bash helmets with the New Orleans Saints in Super Bowl XLIV. Drum Roll Please….. First place goes to Lora Roberts of Northern Virginia, who describes herself as a diehard Ravens and Giants fan. Second place went to our good friend Donald Wells, former Director of the Redskins Cheerleaders and Wizard Dancers, and now Director of Sponsorships/Marketing for the Sweethearts for Soldiers Third place went to Mark C. Fourth place for Valerie. And fifth place to Matt K.
Thanks for everyone who participated in our Mystery Uniform Quiz. Once thing I learned is that if there’s anything this world needs, it’s more opera gloves!
I’m going through all the entries now, and hope to announce the winners in a couple of days. See the answers here. Didn’t take the quiz yet? Check it out here. Next Thursday is the deadline for submitting your entry.. A lot of folks have asked if we are going to let them know how they did, or will we show the original color photos. The answer to both questions is yes. In the meantime if you didn’t see the original post about the quiz, here it is again:
Sasha went through her archives and selected 38 photos of NFL Cheerleaders throughout the years. Your job is to identify the squad. And we’re looking for complete answers. If it’s a Baltimore Colts Cheerleader and you say Colts Cheerleader or Indianapolis Colts Cheerleader, you get partial credit. Same thing if it’s a photo of the Philadelphia Eagles Liberty Belles and you answer Philadelphia Eagles Cheerleaders, that’s only worth half-a-point These are all NFL squads, but not necessarily current squads. Some teams may appear more than once, or not at all. Oh, did I mention all the photos are in black and white? The top 5 entries with the most correct answers will receive a beautiful 8×12 autographed cheerleader photo provided by our own David Tyau. To see more of David’s photos, please check out his blog, The Hottest Dance Team In The NFL. In the event of ties, a random drawing will determine the winner(s).

I am pretty sure everyone’s familiar with thus inform the Eagles Cheerleaders have been wearing since 2003.
I believe it is referred to as their “summer” uniform.
Then when the weather turns a little cold, they break out the “autumn” uniform and switch to black sneakers.

And then when it’s really cold they break out the “winter” uniform:
