NCAA 2025 NCAA Leotards

[Kara]

Thought I'd start a post to share all of the good, bad, and absolutely ridiculous leotards worn this season. I'll start with this overdone mess from OSU; love the idea behind the rainbow back, though hate the open back, and the primary colors totally clash with the neon flowers and weird waist band :

I actually love this one from the front. The florals are so pretty and it works well as their pride leo. I hate the straps.

I liked the front of this UCLA leo:

Michigan graced us with whatever this is:

Clemson with another weirdly placed cutout:

That Clemson one was a huge miss. Auburn had a solid orange one last year that looked amazing on every single gymnast. It even worked perfectly for a redhead, and orange is a tough color for us to get right. That Clemson carrot one didn't look good on anybody.

So many NCAA leotards look bad, imo. This is a sport, not a pageant. I read the leo reviews on CGN every week and feel like I'm living in some sort of alternate reality.

I know I'm old and cranky and definitely not cool, but I would have revolted if told I had to wear most of those leos. Do gymnasts actually like this stuff? (Probably. I also find their hair utterly ridiculous and they all seem happy to wear those styles)

Why Clemson?? U of M loves that fake flesh. I personally think it ruins otherwise decent leos.

The problem with fake flesh is that it only looks good when it’s done as a bespoke item to match everyone’s actual skin tone

Clemson thought it was a good idea to bring this abomination back; I'm an old fart and think most current leos are awful, but this thing has to win for worst leotard ever. I would have quit gymnastics on the spot if my coach told me I had to wear this. And no, I don't care if the gymnasts say they love them.

 

[RedBirdie]

Clemson has the absolute worst leotards.

There's so much mesh! I'd be appalled to wear that and probably very uncomfortable.

 

[Puffin]

I absolutely hate leos that strange/deep backlines that do not allow adult women to wear a bra.

Northern Illinois U with the best leo of the season. One color, no weird patterns, no mesh, no cutouts, bra friendly back, tasteful rhinestones. Simplicity is so underrated.

 

[Bob]

Love that

That is a feather boa away from being something very non-gymnastics. Agree, I probably would've resigned rather than wear that, as well.

Or a whip and leather handcuffs....

Why do they even bother to wear a leotard? Yuck. This is why I don't watch WAG anymore.

I agree. The NIU black leo is the best.

Michigan State has had a lot of beautiful ones the last few seasons.
