University of Idaho Cheerleading Uniforms - Inappropriate?

So there has been quite a bit of buzz lately about the Unviersity of Idaho cheerleaders.  "Idaho?" you say?  Yes, Idaho.  Apparently there actually is more than just potatoes up there.

So what's going on? It seems that several fans have complained that the uniforms donned by the Idaho Spirit Squad are just a little too much for them to handle. It seems that the fans were taken a little off guard when the new cheerleading uniforms were revealed on September 6:

"Jaws dropped at the Vandal football game on Sept. 6, and it wasn’t because the football team finally won a game.  It was because of the dress of the cheerleaders. There was an uproar about the taste level of the Vandal spirit squad’s uniforms with laced-up details and low cut halter-tops that didn’t seem to provide much support."

--The Argonaut

Wow.  They seem pretty shaken up about it. It's not every day that cheer uniforms create such an uproar that it gets national attention, so this definitely warrants more investigation.

Check out the images below and see for yourself.  Do you think they cross the line?  Me - I'm not sooo sure that they are inappropriate.  A little skimpy, but inappropriate? Nah.

So what actually is inappropriate? Well, great question.  I've taken it upon myself to drum up some varying examples of what is DEFINITELY inappropriate.  Feel free to use this scale to measure the inappropriateness of cheerleader uniforms, free of charge. 

Viva la internet!
