Call for research assistants: cheerleader hair color.
 

Amnorix had a thread a while back about cheerleaders, and I made an observation that a disproportionate number of them were blonde.

In the running back tandems thread, the link to the running backs also had links to some cheerleader photos, as shown below.

http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/mul...content.1.html

This group was still predominantly blonde, but not as much as Amnorix's group. As primary photo subjects, I counted:

11 blondes
8 brunettes
0 redheads
1 minority (by definition not blonde)

I think we need to commission some more research to definitively answer this important question, at least as it applies to NFL cheerleaders.

I am therefore asking for 32 volunteers for an important assignment. I need you to each take one NFL team, and go to their web site and check out their FEMALE cheerleaders. (Note: I think there are a few team without cheerleaders.) Then report back on hair color and hair length as follows:

* - No hair extends more than one inch below earlobe
** - Hair extends more than one inch below earlobe, but not past base of neck
*** - Hair extends past base of neck


If you are willing to volunteer for this important assignment, please state a team below for which you are willing to gather data. The first person taking a team wins, so if someone beats you to the punch, then select a different team.

Thank you for your support.

Packers

I thought all of you had too much time on your hands, but this is ridiculous.

Im sure there are folks here that would help out and verify if the curtains match the carpet.

Nobody ever supports basic research, but it's the backbone of our society.

THAT I'm willing to do. :drool:

I'm working on the Redskins right now.

None since 1988.

Packers discontinued their squad of official cheerleaders in large part due to fan indifference. There are no plans to return to official cheerleaders.

Okay, one down, 31 to go. Those benches must get awfully cold at Lambeau Field.

Washington Redskins

Blonde: Short - 0, Med - 0, Long - 13
Brown: Short - 0, Med - 3, Long - 9
Black (White): Short - 0, Med - 0, Long - 4
Black (Minority): Short - 2, Med - 2, Long - 3
Red: Short - 0, Med - 0, Long -2

BTW, in doing this research, I think I found a team with cheerleaders that rival ours in skankiness. Must be an indian thing? :shrug:

Dibs on the Patriots. I'll also put in dibs on the Eagles cheerleaders, unless we have more than 32 volunteers...

Not quite. One of the cheerleaders forgot to wear her panties and when she tried to get up off of the bench, it looked something like this:

New England Patriots:

Short Med Long
Blonde 0 6 5
Brown 0 1 3
Black 0 2 2
Red 0 0 0
Minority 1 1 3


This totals 23 individuals, but there are 24 cheerleaders listed on the site. I obviously made a minor mistake somewhere/somehow, but it ain't worth my time to figure out where I went wrong....

Also, I was slightly more generous in my interpretation of medium versus long, or else everyone would be "long". Basically, I had "about shoulder length" rather than "base of neck". If it was a couple inches past the neck, then it was marked as medium. Longer than that (mid-shoulderblade'ish) or longer was "long".

If you dislike my new definition, then seriously mark every one of my "mediums" as long. Other than one short-haired chick, I didn't see any that had it only down to the base of the neck or shorter.

This is hot............

But where are all the crazy redheads??

Sedated, you are so right....this is so ridiculous

Uhm...I'll take the Falcons.

Atlanta Falcons

Short/Medium/Long
Blonde - 1/7/6
Brown - 1/4/5
Black - 0/2/0
Red - 0/0/0
Minority - 8/4/2

Does anyone have as damn many cheerleaders as Baltimore?

--------S/M/L
Blonde--0/0/19
Brown--0/0/9
Black---0/0/0
Minority-1/0/10
Red-----0/0/0

39! And 17 guys, too!

Atlanta's got Baltimore beat...40 cheerleaders.

...and no guys to take up precious space.

Bucs
Short MED LONG
Blonde 0 1 14
Brown 0 2 10
Black/Brown (Minority) 1 2 2
Red 0 0 0

I noticed during the Pats/Falcons games that the Falcons cheerleaders had some admirable, err, assets...

I think a more important and interesting research question would be the percentage of cheerleaders with their natural hair color...I would sacrifice anywhere from most to all of my free waking hours...seven days a week...in an effort to "uncover" the facts...all in the advancement of science of course :)

Yes, they do...and you actually get to see their assets all year long.

That was one of the things I disliked about living in New England...you only get to see the Pats cheerleader for the first few games of the season. After that, all you got was the occassionally tight jogging suits.

Saints (http://www.saintsations.org/home.html): 35 on cheerleader team picture, 27 featured as individuals. Having crummy near-sightedness (I invite Zepsinger to check my work), I will post re: 27 featured:

---------S M L
Blonde* 0 0 9
Brown 0 0 5
Black(C) 0 0 3
Black(M) 0 0 5
Red** 0 0 4
* Includes bottle variety
** Includes minority with Red Hair Dye

This only proves that we are beyond the 60's and 70's with respect to hair length, and that the Saints cheerleaders are hot.

Woot.....

Okay, so far we've got the following:

Washington
Green Bay
Atlanta
Tampa Bay
New Orleans
New England
Baltimore

Additional volunteers are needed for this important project. Please claim your team now.

I found a site that lists teams with no cheerleaders, so I'll add them to the list. If any of these teams actually do have cheerleaders, please correct me.

Washington
New York Giants - no cheerleaders
Green Bay - no cheerleaders
Chicago - no cheerleaders
Detroit - no cheerleaders
Atlanta
Tampa Bay
New Orleans
New England
New York Jets - no cheerleaders
Baltimore
Pittsburgh - no cheerleaders
Cleveland - no cheerleaders

San Diego Chargers - 28 total cheerleaders. I think I need a cigarette now.

Short Med Long
Blonde 0 1 13
Brown 0 1 5
Black 0 1 2
Red 0 0 0
Minority 0 1 4

On another note, they need to get some new uniforms for those poor girls. Their old ones have drawn up in the wash quite badly (see below).

Short Med Long
Blonde 2 3 6

Philadelphia Eagles. *drools*

If any of you have not checked out the Eagles cheer-babes you need to. They have their new lengerie calendar out. Also, here is the elusive red-haired cheerleeder:
http://org-www.philadelphiaeagles.co...r42_050519.jpg

I had a friend of mine (yes, a girl) try out for the Chiefs Cheerleaders a couple of years back. They must have known this Rain Man research project was coming. She has short hair, and they told her since she had short hair, she'd have to dye it red because they had enough short haired blondes and brunettes.

That's an interesting story, but with "UMR" in your name, I'm going to need some proof that you actually have an attractive female friend. As a UMR alumni, I'm very skeptical of claims like this.

He didn't claim she was attractive.

:) As you should be. Explanation is certainly required. She went to my high school, not UMR. She was a cheerleader up at NWMSU back in her day.

Also true, if you have ever witnessed the female ego on steroids down there, it is easy to see how this could happen. Then again, there are certainly enough attractive girls in Rolla to field a squad that beats the current Chiefs chearleading corps :hmmm:

Well, yeah, but if she was trying out for an NFL cheerleading squad, you would expect that - uh, wait. Chiefs cheerleading squad. You're right. What was I thinking?

Speaking of Chiefs, here is their cheerleading corps. Actually, I must admit that they've improved quite a bit this last year. Carla Peterson or whomever must've had a strong rookie draft.

Short Medium Long
Blonde 0 2 11
Brown 0 1 9
Black 0 0 2
Red 0 0 0
Minority 0 1 6

As an aside, this gal needs to update her section on "For one day, I would like to trade places with...."http://www.kcchiefs.com/cheerleader/tracee/

Back to the original point, I'm actually kind of surprised that they would do this.

On the other hand, maybe they also know that red hair is quite alluring, and they're trying to satisfy the market.

In addition:
The hell? That crap is her favorite book?

Like cheerleaders read. They probably provide them with a list to choose from and she figured she liked cheese.

Most law schools require literacy...

Or a hummer for the dean of admissions.

I didn't know that.

You should look into it.

In Denver that just might lead to advancement opportunities...

Eh, it's easy enough to succeed here just by being much smarter than all of the Broncos fans. In the land of the blind, the one-eyed man is king.

The other thread reminded me. Still need more volunteers for this important project. It will greatly enhance your resume.
