Our team leo cost $75, warm up leo $35 and warm ups $198. Our long sleeve leo is new this year. It is custom with our team colors.. matches our warmups. Our warmups are so pretty with lots of bling!!

Do most gyms have actual team colors? Our old coach/owner wanted everything in purple and teal, but our previous gym has had 4 completely different colored and styled leos since I first knew of them. Or new leos are black and pink and have lot's of bling, too much for my taste but apparently are much admired at all the compulsory meets so far.

In our state it seems all the gyms have team or gym colors. Ours are red/blue. The team leos are all the same style, but the compulsory girls wear red and the optional girls wear blue. Warm ups are blue.

Our releve (preteam) wear a dark blue/twighlight blue velvet leo with crystals. The club owns them and lends them out as they just do two evaluations a year.

The school levels wear either a long sleeve suit like in my avatar (that was my oldest dd when she was 8.) Or the same style in all black with a pink, blue, lime or purple stripe.

The civile or provincial girls wear girls wear a silver, aqua and royal blue mystique long sleeved suit.

We have 3 warms ups styles too!!!

The head coach chooses the suits, but she always lets the girls have some input, she uses local couturiers who can produce knock suits at low prices. We send for all the catalogues!!!

leos and warm ups
OMG; I read theses posts about the cost of leos and warm ups and I say God am I glad my coach is frugal. We get our warm ups from GTM sportswear, We get to chose our embroidery and warm up colors and they give us a package deal of a warm up and gym bag. You can even get shorts t shirt and warm up for about $120 including embroidery. We are getting new leotards this years and we will pay $65 from GK leotards. Our coach says she likes to keep the cost of the leo and warmup under $125 for both. She thinks gymnastics cost enough with out overpriced leos and warm ups. I have learned how to glue rhinestones on anything. My DD says I am obessed but a 135 count package and a $3.00 bottle of glue goes a lot farther then $15 or more per leo. My Club doesn't get in to the different color for optionals and compulsory either. We all get the same leo that way if a kid mores up a level mid season no new leo to buy.. I like that idea of signing out the warm ups we may try that...

Our team colors are black and white, but our coach did them in black and silver. They are really cute. How long do ya'll wear the same style leos on team? We do 2-3 years.

My dd's leotard cost $75 and they were custom made in Australia. They are just beautiful. Part of the price was for the shipping.

Our Competition leotard we got a deal on, it's a GK Addidas (our colors are red, white & blue), it was $85. Our USAG teams (L4-L10) gets the same leo, but the JOGA team gets a different one I think. I hope to get 2 or more years out of it. Our warm-ups are GK, blue velour for $150.00 (ouch in cost but very big so we can use another year or more!) not as glitzy as some I've seen but has some rinestones. Our team leotard was a GK and I think $45 but then because it was white and not too many girls (or moms) liked them, another leotard was offered to us for $35 which I did end up getting because it was a good deal and a very nice (red, white, blue) GK Addidas. A girl can never have too many leos right?
