If your 2025–2026 season goals include a stronger brand presence, better travel organization, and pieces your athletes actually love to wear, you’re in the right place. This year, Limelight Teamwear launched 7 new products designed to make outfitting easier and more cohesive from studio to stage. Below, we’re recapping seven standout additions (including two fan-favorite variations) that have already become go-tos for teams across dance and gymnastics. Think: smart silhouettes, travel-friendly layers, and accessory pieces that keep your brand in every photo, hallway, and warm-up space.
Whether you’re planning a full head-to-toe refresh or carefully adding a few strategic upgrades, use this guide to build a collection that works just as hard as your athletes do.
1 & 2) Cropped Windbreaker (Evolution + Onyx)
Keywords: lightweight, stylish, packable, wildly popular
A windbreaker is one of those deceptively simple pieces that teams end up reaching for—over and over. The Cropped Windbreaker takes that utility and gives it a modern, team-ready silhouette. We launched it in two aesthetics to match your brand DNA:
- Evolution Cropped Windbreaker: Sport-forward and clean, with lines that pair beautifully with training sets and leggings.
- Onyx Cropped Windbreaker: A little more street-inspired and editorial—perfect if your brand leans fashion or you choreograph in urban, contemporary, or open styles.
Why teams love it
- Travel-friendly: Lightweight and easy to pack; toss it in a backpack without worrying about wrinkles.
- Polished, not bulky: The cropped cut keeps proportions clean while still providing coverage in hallways and between rotations.
- Branding zones that pop: Front chest, left sleeve badge, and a bold back placement give you multiple ways to tell your story—logo, team name, or season tagline.
Styling ideas
- Pair with high-waist leggings or joggers for a sleek sideline look.
- Layer over bodysuits during venue walks and award sessions for on-brand photos without covering the costume entirely.
- Consider two-color ink or tonal applications for elevated, minimal branding that photographs beautifully.
3) Relaxed Crew Neck
Keywords: cozy, relaxed styling, everyday essential
Your team doesn’t need another basic sweatshirt—they need that sweatshirt. The one that fits everyone, washes well, and refuses to look tired after a season of travel, quick bites, and late-night awards.
What sets it apart
- Relaxed silhouette: Roomy through the shoulder with a clean hem for a drape that looks intentional, not oversized.
- Cohesive on everyone: Inclusive fit means your whole team looks unified in photos, regardless of body type.
- Brand canvas: The front panel is perfect for your primary logo mark.
Use cases
- Team travel days, classroom spirit wear, and staff uniforming.
- “Coach edition” with subtle tonal branding for a professional sideline look.
- Parent boosters—matching crews make fan sections feel like part of the team.
4) Reversible Sports Bra
Keywords: two looks in one, mix-and-match, smart value
Budget, variety, and pack space are always in tension. The Reversible Sports Bra solves all three with two looks in a single piece—flip for practice, theme days, or to align with different choreography palettes.
Why it earns a spot in your lineup
- Versatility for training and travel: Build two branded aesthetics—bold on one side, neutral or tonal on the other—so athletes can adapt across classes and camps.
- Team merchandising with options: Offer Side A as your core brand colors, and Side B as an alternate (e.g., seasonal, or specific team accent color).
- Cohesive with bottoms: Coordinate with your high-waist shorts or leggings to create multiple “uniforms” from a smaller capsule.
Fit & function notes
Smooth finishes and thoughtful seam placement are kind to skin during high-rep training.
5) Team Warm-Up Booties
Keywords: pre-class comfort, competition must-have, customizable, game-changer
These flew off the line for a reason. Limelight’s Team Warm-Up Booties keep feet warm, clean, and ready—whether you’re at a chilly venue, backstage on marley, or transitioning between classes.
Features athletes rave about
- Adjustable comfort: Velcro and elastic toggles let dancers dial in a secure, cozy fit.
- Confident footing: A comfortable, non-slippery sole that handles venue floors and quick walks to staging.
- Sizes for everyone: Offered in kids and adult sizes so the whole team matches.
Branding superpowers
- Sublimation customization means team colors, logos, even athlete names—these are yours, not just “black booties with a patch.”
- Because they’re visible in hallways, warm-up zones, and candid photos, they’re a small accessory with big brand mileage.
Rollout tip
- Launch them with a “competition season kit” (booties + windbreaker + makeup bag) so each athlete has the essentials and your brand shows up in every candid.
6) Sling Backpack
Keywords: compact, hands-free, everyday carry
Gyms, change rooms, and competition venues aren’t kind to bulky bags. The Sling Backpack is a streamlined carry that keeps essentials close without getting in the way.
Why it works
- Ergonomic one-strap design: Easy on, easy off, and it stays put as athletes move between studios.
- Smart compartments: Ideal for a water bottle, small towel, resistance band, phone, and a snack.
- Brand in motion: The front panel is highly visible in hallways and warm-up lines.
Who it’s for
- Athletes who like a minimal carry, coaches on the floor, or parents who need a light “event day” bag.
7) Crossbody Bag
Keywords: quick-access, compact organization, event-day MVP
Think of the Crossbody Bag as the team’s command center: phone, keys, hair elastics, lip balm, credential—secure and reachable.
Standout details
- Zippered security: Keeps personal items safe in crowded lobbies and award sessions.
- Brand-forward: A small surface with big visibility; ideal for your team brand.
How teams use it
- Staff & volunteers during showcases and picture day.
- Athletes on travel days when they want hands-free but organized.
- Parent booster edition for a unified cheering section (great for fundraising, too).
8) MakeUp Bag
Keywords: organized glam, clean counters, uniform presentation
Competition mornings are smoother when everyone has the same system. The Makeup Bag standardizes the essentials, so call time isn’t spent hunting for lashes or a stray lipstick.
Why it earns a permanent spot
- Uniform sizing: Fits neatly inside backpacks and duffels; lines up perfectly on a dressing room counter.
- Wipe-clean interior: Quick touch-up, quick cleanup—on to the next stage.
- Team polish: Branded bags look great in behind-the-scenes photos and keep your aesthetic consistent from warm-up to awards.
Pro tip
- Include dancers’ names as part of the design to ensure make-up bags don’t get mixed up.
Building Your 2025–2026 Capsule: How to Mix, Match, and Roll Out
You don’t have to purchase everything at once to make a big visual impact. Here’s a simple framework to build a cohesive, high-impact capsule around these pieces:
- Choose your outer layer first.
Start with the Cropped Windbreaker (Evolution or Onyx) as your signature silhouette. It will show up in the majority of photos and travel days, so anchor your palette and logo placement here. - Add the everyday essential.
The Relaxed Crew Neck becomes your off-floor uniform. Select a colorway that complements the windbreaker and consider a tonal design for a premium look. - Secure your training core.
The Reversible Sports Bra offers two aesthetics in one SKU—smart for budget and variety. Align one side with your primary palette and the other with a secondary or seasonal accent. - Round out the accessory story.
Pick two of three (Sling Backpack, Crossbody Bag, Makeup Bag) based on your team’s rhythms. Training-heavy teams lean Sling; event-heavy teams lean Crossbody; everyone needs the Makeup Bag once competition begins. - Elevate comfort & arrivals.
Add Team Warm-Up Booties to keep athletes camera-ready and comfortable. They’ll become the piece they won’t stop talking about—and wearing. - Plan personalization intentionally.
Decide which items carry names (e.g., booties, makeup bag, and crossbody bag) and which carry team identifiers (windbreaker, crew).
Timeline & Logistics: Set Yourself Up for Success
- Design first, then size: Approve your color palette and logo placements before scheduling a try-on or size collection day.
- Use one data hub: Track sizes in your studio software or a single spreadsheet to avoid back-and-forth, or use a team shop so parents keep track of this for you.
- Stagger deliveries by use case: Training items (reversible bras) can arrive first, travel layers (windbreakers, crews) next, then accessories timed to your first competition.
- Photograph early: Capture branded looks at the first team meeting—you’ll use those visuals all season for social, programs, and sponsor decks.
Budgeting & Buy-In: Getting the Whole Community On Board
- Bundle smart: Offer a “Core Capsule” (Windbreaker + Crew + Makeup Bag) and an “Essentials Add-On” (Warm-Up Booties + Sling or Crossbody). Families can scale up without feeling overwhelmed.
- Leverage visibility: Accessories give big brand impressions for relatively low cost. Start there if you’re easing into a refresh.
- Think revenue-positive: Spirit items like crews, crossbodies, and makeup bags are popular with parents and siblings—easy add-ons that support team initiatives.
What This Adds Up To: A Brand That Travels Well
The right teamwear does more than match; it moves with your season and lifts the athlete experience. A light, stylish Cropped Windbreaker that looks sharp in every photo. A Relaxed Crew that becomes the off-floor uniform. A Reversible Sports Bra that doubles your options. Warm-Up Booties that keep dancers comfortable and camera-ready. And accessory pieces—the Sling Backpack, Crossbody Bag, and Makeup Bag—that bring order to the beautiful chaos of a busy season.
Together, they create a collection that’s cohesive, modern, and unmistakably you.
