MOSCOW -- It appears that the Vandals cheerleading squad may have garnered more complaints from some fans about their perceived scantily clad uniforms than the football team did in Idaho's 70-0 defeat at Arizona a few weeks ago.

Say goodbye... at least to these uniforms. Idaho cheerleaders will get new outifts that cover up a little more.

Heck, the Idaho athletic department may blow its own budget at this pace.

There were enough complaints from Vandal fans about the uniforms that the cheerleading squad abandoned the two-piece outfits.

Ironically the team won its home opener 42-27 against Idaho State when those outfits debuted.

Donned with more threads last weekend, a second set of uniforms - black shirts and shorts - were worn by the cheerleaders.

Oh, by the way, the football team lost that game in Moscow, 51-28 to Western Michigan.

Despite the less revealing attire, however, the all-black motif lacked panache.

So, in keeping with what has almost been a weekly tradition, yes, the cheerleaders are expected to get new uniforms in time for the Vandals away game on Saturday at Utah State.
