Cheerleaders in Derry

This is going to be a long post where I go on about uniform design for a needlessly loooong time, so here is a complimentary spacer <3

Me waiting for Welcome to Derry to see if they have any cheerleader characters so I can draw inspiration from the uniform. Above the spacer has the one from Chapter 2, but uniforms change throughout the years so neither of them would be 1:1 how Marilyn's looks. So I'm glad I get SOME creative liberty. But I know Welcome to Derry will likely have something given this is in their set production:

I'll probably keep the simple DHS logo for whatever uniform I end up with her. The mascot shows that the primary team IS baseball ( to the surprise of no one who knows the novel haha. )

Cheerleading isn't as common for baseball; but it's not unheard of. So let me sip that delulu juice some more. With the girls field hockey team also, you can't tell me there aren't more sporting events at DHS. Cheerleaders simply make sense lol.

red polos for the girl's field hockey team, and me wishing I could see the costume design up close for the emblem but oh well! (I'm not going to comment on the skirt, I hate it despite being a plaid skirt girly.)

I feel like it's safe to say Red is going to be the primary colour of the uniform. Gold will likely be present as well, I don't THINK the uniforms in ch.2 are for Derry High so the Red/Black scheme likely wouldn't be as accurate but who knows. Red/Black and Red/White are both really easy to work with and can absolutely be changed up.

Here are some inspirations I plan to pull from!

the varsity jacket is simple enough, probably with the DHS emblem somewhere on the chest. Not given to the cheerleaders; but likely given TO them by whichever guy happens to fancy them lol.

I also like the idea of sleeveless for hot weather, but the simple white sleeves for cooler days!

[ derry summer faire ]

marilyn spends the entire day at the faire , she like many others had been counting the days down for the weekend long event .

her attire was a short milk maid button down dress ; naturally she regretted the footwear she initially chose , so she wisely decided to change into white sneakers afterward . it was oddly fitting ! unfortunately she didn't have the forethought to bring a sweater for the chilly evening air .

marilyn's go to treat is always a candy apple , the sweet yet tarte , glossy and crisp treat is not only pleasing to the eyes , but also to her lips !

she takes a few stops at the house of horrors for a quick smoke break with some friends - even the rougher kids know not to mess with her , partially because she's simply too nice ... and partially for the human shield she has with the jocks . marilyn actually found herself getting along just fine however , especially when the alcohol was cracked out later in the evening .

as for rides , the cheerleader is surprisingly a thrill seeker , danger is her middle name ! she'd proclaim with a laugh . she's fun , she's hot , she's in . others would say - for a preppy , her laughter and fun spirits are infectious .

happening upon the games , marilyn was of course immediately drawn to the largest bear they had . and she wouldn't be leaving without him . unfortunately her pitch isn't as strong as she'd like it to be , so she is unable to win it without help . her knight in shinning armor , might even win a kiss on the cheek !

as the night draws on the cheerleader always finds herself to the horror attraction , being pressured in and chased around . of course she laughs about it , at first .
