Thanks to Ali, our friendly face at the front desk, The Line Up was on WCCO yesterday morning with Rachel Slavik. Ali was instrumental in arranging the event as well as showing up at 4:00 AM to get the displays in order, clean up the office and welcome the crew. She was till there at 5:00 in the afternoon packing and shipping merchandise for the NFL Cheerleading Director's Convention in California next week. We appreciate your hard work Ali!

On September 15, the Houston Texans got to dance with the one and only Vanilla Ice! Of course they had to have a special outfit for the event, and we were excited to help them out! Custom designed, white harem pants were the perfect addition to their previously made warm-up jacket to help them achieve the look. We love helping teams with specialty appearances and shows!

We will find any excuse to have a dress up day, but one of our all-time favorite days at The Line Up is Vikings Fridays! Donning our purple and gold, everyone shows their team spirit here.

The Philadelphia Eagles and the Kansas City Chiefs play head to head tonight on Thursday Night Football. You know we will be watching, looking for the Eagles girls in their new costumes!

Amy Fogarty is a professional ballerina currently working with Boulder Ballet of Boulder, CO. Last February, she was featured in a special performance wearing TLU!

Tis the season... college football season, that is! We love outfitting college pom, cheer, and dance teams to look their best on the sidelines. We recently heard from Melanie, coach of the University at Buffalo Dazzlers, who had their home opener this past weekend. The girls unveiled their new costumes they took from our web store, and completely transformed for their team, adding accessories and a logo. They went with the Tami dress in their school colors and added their team name to the bottom of the dress. The Anna gauntlets are the cherry on top that completes the look!

Established in 1956, the Hockettes are the nation’s first synchronized skating team. They have many different level teams, from Beginner through Junior. For many years, we have brought their costume visions to life. Our team works very closely with Bonnie Shay and Erin Donovan for each team's garment. We always look forward to the creative ideas they bring. Last year, we loved the "burst" color design they came up with for Junior Long (pictured below.)

The Memphis Grizzlies Dancers were recently over in Seoul, South Korea for the NBA 3X event and showed off their new, customized costumes. They decided on a variety of tops and shorts, and added their team logo and lettering with our new sublimation technology. We love how each piece is different and branded, yet they maintain a cohesive overall look and feel unique to their team!

In honor of the first week of school for many high school teams, we thought we would throw it back to 2008. Check out some of our great high school teams that we love working with! Sequins, specialty fabrics and distinctive themes- times haven't changed that much!

Clemson University was new to TLU this year! They customized a few online styles and made them completely their own with team colors and lettering, including a cute paw on the back! Not only did they order a top and skirt for the dance team, but for a twirler as well! Her crop and skirt blend perfectly with the team garments, making it one cohesive look. We love working with Clemson and seeing their awesome design ideas- go purple and orange!
