A close friend of the Lurie's when she originally agreed to design the uniforms, Wang debuted the recognizable white push-up sports bra and black and green striped boy-cut short combo at the gala opening of the Linc. Keeping chilly climate conditions in mind, she added pieces like black spandex pants, cut-off sweaters, and full bodysuits for the cheerleaders to layer over their unis during the fall and winter months. "These outfits are highly athletic," Wang told Elizabeth Wellington in a 2003 interview. "It was a challenge to make sure the pieces were sexy and they wouldn't fall apart," she added.
