The new digs are primarily one solid color, with color accents.  The result is a bold color versus color match up!   The Color Rush concept began in 2015, with only 4 special promotion games.  In 2016 it's become a requirement for all teams during Thursday Night football games. NFL Cheerleaders are getting into the action as well, with matching color rush uniforms of their own.  Check out a few of our friends on the sidelines, and their bold new looks!   [Read More](https://blog.thelineup.com/nfl-cheerleaders-bold-color-rush-uniforms) 0 Comments [Click here to read/write comments](https://blog.thelineup.com/nfl-cheerleaders-bold-color-rush-uniforms#comments-listing) Topics: [Cheer, Pom & Gameday](https://blog.thelineup.com/tag/cheer-pom-gameday), [Team Spotlight](https://blog.thelineup.com/tag/teamspotlight), [Professional Cheer - NFL](https://blog.thelineup.com/tag/professional-cheer-nfl) ## [Garment Care 101: The Do's and Don'ts of Dance Costume Care](https://blog.thelineup.com/the-dos-and-donts-of-dance-costume-care) Posted by [Trista](https://blog.thelineup.com/author/trista) on Dec 15, 2016 - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) ![How to wash a dance costume](https://blog.thelineup.com/hs-fs/hubfs/_Blog-Images/Clothes%20line%20Jen-sm.jpg?width=790&name=Clothes%20line%20Jen-sm.jpg "How to wash a dance costume") When it comes to washing dance costumes and skate dresses, we've probably seen it all.  Color bleeding, shrinking, burn marks, makeup stains, and rhinestones falling off - there are lots of things that could go wrong when washing your costume!  Don't fear the unknown though!  As long as you are informed, washing your dance costume can be a breeze. Follow these garment care Do's and Don'ts and your dance costume will be clean and damage free in no time!   [Read More](https://blog.thelineup.com/the-dos-and-donts-of-dance-costume-care) 2 Comments [Click here to read/write comments](https://blog.thelineup.com/the-dos-and-donts-of-dance-costume-care#comments-listing) Topics: [Garment Care](https://blog.thelineup.com/tag/garment-care) ## [Team Spotlight: Seton Dance Team's Two Bold New Dance Costumes](https://blog.thelineup.com/team-spotlight-seton-dance-team) Posted by [Trista](https://blog.thelineup.com/author/trista) on Dec 2, 2016 - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) **![Seton varsity dance team custom dance costumes](https://blog.thelineup.com/hs-fs/hubfs/_Blog-Images/seton.jpg?width=790&name=seton.jpg "Seton varsity dance team custom dance costumes")** **Team:** Seton High School Varsity Dance Team **Coaches:** Teresa Chiodi, Jill Lamey, and Anna Miller **Location:** Cincinnati, Ohio **Style:** Pom & Hip Hop [Read More](https://blog.thelineup.com/team-spotlight-seton-dance-team) 0 Comments [Click here to read/write comments](https://blog.thelineup.com/team-spotlight-seton-dance-team#comments-listing) Topics: [High School](https://blog.thelineup.com/tag/high-school), [Cheer, Pom & Gameday](https://blog.thelineup.com/tag/cheer-pom-gameday), [Team Spotlight](https://blog.thelineup.com/tag/teamspotlight), [Hip Hop Dance](https://blog.thelineup.com/tag/hip-hop-dance) ## [Team Spotlight: Nashville Predators Energy Team](https://blog.thelineup.com/team-spotlight-nashville-predators-energy-team) Posted by [Trista](https://blog.thelineup.com/author/trista) on Nov 18, 2016 - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) **![Nashville Predators Energy Team custom cheer uniforms](https://blog.thelineup.com/hs-fs/hubfs/_Blog-Images/preds%20combined.jpg?width=790&name=preds%20combined.jpg "Nashville Predators Energy Team custom cheer uniforms")** **Team:** Nashville Predators Energy Team **Director/Event Presentation Coordinator:** Colleen Flynn **Location:** Nashville, TN **Style:** Hockey Spirit Team [Read More](https://blog.thelineup.com/team-spotlight-nashville-predators-energy-team) 0 Comments [Click here to read/write comments](https://blog.thelineup.com/team-spotlight-nashville-predators-energy-team#comments-listing) Topics: [Cheer, Pom & Gameday](https://blog.thelineup.com/tag/cheer-pom-gameday), [Team Spotlight](https://blog.thelineup.com/tag/teamspotlight), [Professional Hockey Cheerleaders - NHL](https://blog.thelineup.com/tag/professional-hockey-cheerleaders-nhl) [Previous](https://blog.thelineup.com/author/trista/page/5) [All posts](https://blog.thelineup.com/all) [Next](https://blog.thelineup.com/author/trista/page/7) ### What do you think?
