Idaho Vandals Cheerleaders Dump Skimpy Uniforms After Fan Complaints

The University of Idaho Vandals football team is off to an anemic 1-3 start this year, including a 70-0 loss to start the season. You would think that the UI's coaching staff would be feeling the ire of the public, but so far Vandals fans have been focusing on something else: the cheerleaders.

Instead of worrying about the team's ability to cover opposing players, Vandals fans are concerned about the cheerleaders covering themselves. Team officials have asked the cheerleading squad to ditch their new uniforms which were considered too skimpy.

The offending uniforms featured halter tops that exposed the midriff and short black skirts with white trim that were more in keeping with what an NFL cheerleader's uniform.



The new uniforms will be unveiled Oct. 4 and will feature less revealing tops as well as skirts that are six inches longer. Until then, the cheerleaders will hit the field wearing football jerseys and volleyball shorts.

The new cheerleader outfits weren't the only cosmetic change that the Idaho football team has undergone this season. The team had to remove an awkwardly placed team logo from the football players' pants.
