Just because the start of the Las Vegas Raiders season was still 86 days away didn’t stop the team’s cheer squad from kicking off the official countdown, giving major Sin City glam as they did so.
“Only 86 days till we hit the field again, but who’s counting!?” read the Sunday, May 25 Instagram share.
The blonde in the main photo showed off the team's newest cheer outfit, which fits right into the razzle-dazzle Vegas aesthetic. Over the years, the uniforms have seen a few tweaks, all while keeping true to the outfit’s original style.
The post worked — the fans got pumped. “The best in the league!!” raved one. “Can’t wait to cheer for you this season! Oh and cheer on the Raiders too I guess lol.”
The squad’s Instagram keeps its sisterhood alive by posting vintage pics of alum. So it’s easy to watch the uniform’s transformation over the years.
The current ones show just a little more skin — and have a little more sparkle.
For starters, the signature pillowy sleeves have been dialed back some, for a more fitted look. The “less fabric” vibe continues to the bodice, with the high-waisted style now replaced with more low-fitting bloomers.
The bra on top has transformed over the years, while retaining the same look. It currently is gathered in the middle — forgoing the extra band that the outfits tried for a few years.
And it wouldn’t be Las Vegas without extra sparkle. The band around the bra top’s middle is now covered with it, and the sparkle on the scalloped edges of the shorts has been pumped up to catch the dramatic stadium lights.
