Want to be a University of Washington Huskies cheerleader? Well, do you have that “Bronze, beachy glow”? Are you wearing your “Girl About Town Lipstick”? Wait, do I see …

nude lips?

These are some of the suggestions from this UW poster, produced by the school to advise prospective cheerleaders of what they should look like when they report for cheerleading tryouts. And it’s great advice, if this were 1954. (It’s not 1954, is it?).

Unfortunately for UW Cheer, not everyone on campus was down with the program.
