We love working with professional teams and seeing our garments on these amazing women! Two pro teams recently selected online styles for their uniforms this year. The Connecticut Sun Solar Power Dance Team chose the online [Tami](http://thelineupstore.com/Tami)dress and added their logo. Logos are a great way to identify and brand your team making the style your own! Tri Cities Fever selected our online [Rhea](http://thelineupstore.com/Rhea)dress for a sporty look. Looking gorgeous ladies!

It’s that time of year! We had a great time designing new swimsuits for the Minnesota Vikings Cheerleaders calendar swimsuit photo shoot. With our sublimation technology and innovative swimsuit designs, the suits had a very fun, branded feel to them. We can’t wait to see the finished product in early July!

One of our favorite things at The Line Up is bringing our customer’s ideas to life! We love receiving hand sketches or inspiration photos, which helps our design team capture all the elements of a garment you are looking for. Check out these great sketches by Andrew Meinel from Ashwaubenon High School in Wisconsin, which are from the past 3 seasons!

[Storm Dance Alliance](http://www.stormdancealliance.com/) in Illinois was a new customer to The Line Up this year! They selected our online [Bebe](http://thelineupstore.com/Bebe)costume, but chose different fabrics for each dancer. We love how they added their own flowers to the garment as well! Congrats on a great season and we look forward to working with you again!

The Galactic Dancers were new to the Line Up this year and one of our teams from Germany! They are a professional dance team that cheers for a few different sports, including basketball. Last year they selected our online style top [112-174](http://thelineupstore.com/112-174-Pro) in one of their basketball team’s colors. This is a very versatile top and looks great as a mix and match piece for them. Thank you to Christina Neuburger for working with us!

We are so happy to hear that the MVC are just as excited as we are about their new sublimated practice tops! By choosing our web style top [420-213 PRO](http://thelineupstore.com/420-213-Pro)(paired with their [practice briefs](http://thelineupstore.com/002-VB-Brief)) and adding branding with sublimation, they created a top completely unique to them. We love seeing more and more branding by high profile teams, and with sublimation, the possibilities are truly endless!

[LA Clippers Spirit](https://www.nba.com/clippers/spirit) recently designed custom biketards with us! They wanted a sleek, black biketard with built in belt and custom embroidery to say Mandalay Bay on the back. We love when customers call and say they need something they aren't seeing in our webstore - we are always happy to accomodate!

[George Washington University](http://spirit.gwu.edu/AboutUs/FirstLadiesDanceTeam/)competed at NDA Nationals this past April. Their theme was "America" and they selected our online style [Maddie](http://thelineupstore.com/Maddie) for their costume using velvet and hologram fabrics.

We love outfitting Virginia Commonwealth University's dance team in their costumes each year! This past year, coach Vicki Wells selected an online [top](http://thelineupstore.com/419-64)and [short](http://thelineupstore.com/580-25)and added rhinestones for added sparkle. ESPN has voted them the hottest dance team in the NCAA the past two years and we agree! We cannot wait to see what they do this year!
