Like many of you, Angela King Designs and Go Wild! Wear are thinking back to another year in the record books and the moments that made 2012 special. Here is our our top 10 moments of 2012...10. Welcoming over 10,000 new Facebook fans! On a daily basis, our Facebook fans receive industry updates, glimpses behind the scenes, tips on attire trends and upkeep, and special offers. Be sure to join us on Facebook for all the action in 2013!
9. Expanding our college performance selection! Traditionally the chosen brand for professional cheerleading and dance, in 2012, AKD and Go Wild! Wear aimed to provide more options to our college customers. We have outfitted teams including USC, Rollins College, University of Memphis, Mizzou, Quinnipiac University, Kennesaw State University, Tennessee State University and many more. Our college customers love the variety of fabrics available and the quality of fit and durability.
7. Outfitting ProTour Productions and the generous cheerleaders who support our U.S. troops! Produced by Style Pro Sandy Charboneau, ProTour Productions spent a second year dedicated to facilitating tours in Europe, Asia and the Middle East, bringing together cheerleaders from different organizations as well as musical groups, comedians and professional athletes. Additionally, AKD is proud to support the Wounded Warrior Project with proceeds purchased from the Patriot Collection.
6. Cheering on the Science Cheerleaders on the Today Show. These ladies prove that performers are beautiful, intelligent and driven. As the outfitter of the Science Cheerleaders, Go Wild! Wear is worn by current and alumni professional cheerleaders across the United States who also work in or study science, technology, engineering or math. In October, the group was celebrated on national television for breaking down stereotypes and encouraging young girls to get psyched about education.
5. Launching the AKD Role Models Website and the Junior Designer Program! Soon we will showcase the costume created by our first Junior Designer Julia of Italy. The Role Models website features our top youth cheer and dance designs including the Arizona Cardinals, the Carolina Panthers and the Denver Broncos, and provides more information on designing attire or applying to become an AKD Junior Designer.
4. Welcoming Ashley Worrell and Rebecca Girard to our team of talented Style Pros! Ashley and Rebecca are just two of our talented team members who take pride in knowing our customers needs as former or current performers and directors. The AKD Style Pros have performed for teams including the San Antonio Spurs, Dallas Mavericks, Kansas City Chiefs, St. Louis Rams, Arizona Cardinals, Detroit Pistons, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Jacksonville Jaguars, Atlanta Falcons, and have coached performance teams for the NFL, NBA, AFL, PIFL, SIFL, NLL, ABA, College and High School.
3. Setting industry trends like the AKD Boot Cuffs worn by the Arizona Cardinals Cheerleaders and the Tampa Bay Storm Cheerleaders! While appearing at All Pro 3 this summer, the Arizona Cardinals new boot cuffs were all the rage and were even featured on Ultimatecheerleaders.com. These cuffs are an affordable way to spice up a team's wardrobe and provide a quick costume change. Each year, AKD strives to create new ways to "wow" fans through unique fabrics and styles worn by the most famous performance teams.
2. Hosting the very first cheer and dance industry sports model search! We welcomed over 200 applicants from across the United States and Canada, narrowed down the selection to 30 finalists, a National Top Ten, and named the 2012 winner Toni Damico of the Denver Broncos Cheerleaders. Celebrity judges raved about the selection of ladies who entered, and sponsors provided incredible prizes during each round. Toni visited the AKD offices to be featured in our 2012 Go Wild! Wear photo shoot, and her team was outfitted in practice attire.
.... and our top moment of 2012 is...
