The Evolution of the Pom Pom

There are many old time traditions at a football game - Tailgating, booze, food, friends, sportsmanship, competition, etc.  All of those are great, but possibly the greatest of traditions is the Pro Football Cheerleader.  Cheerleaders have been around for decades and they bring a ton of excitement to the game experience.  Check out a photo of an old time Miami Dolphin Cheerleading squad from the 1970's.


Notice the large over sized pom-pom's, 1970's in every way.  It is hard not to equate the size of the pom-pom with the decade's over grown pubic hair craze.   As the years went by and bushes were trimmed, the pom-pom evolved into a nice manageable poof, stylish, but almost non-existent - See recent Dolphin Cheerleaders:


Looks to be nice, trimmed and ready for action.
