It’s NCAA gymnastics season and the leotards are as sparkly as ever. And with new designs comes your favorite series: Leotard Rankings! Each week we’re analyzing leotard debuts to find our weekly faves. There will be up to three points for design, up to one point each for fabric, sparkle, school spirit and uniqueness, and up to three points for overall appearance. This week Claire, Emily M, Emily L, Peri, Savanna and Christina are joining our editor-in-chief, Elizabeth, to help judge.

This is a leo I would have thought was just OK if I had only seen it in pictures. However, I got to look at it up close, from the floor, and I definitely like it. The flower design normally isn’t my favorite, but I like it on the white and in this context. Plus, the back is great, and I love the small bit of motivation on the sleeve.
