Comforte, who competed for UCLA gymnastics from 2006 to 2008 and is in her second season as associate head coach, told POPSUGAR that the unique design concept, inspired in part by the lace and piping of a wedding dress, began to take shape last summer. The leotard was originally going to be all blue, but after further discussions, Comforte and the athletes decided black and gold was most appropriate.
UCLA gymnasts usually change up their leotards every competition — though Comforte said there should be a few repeats this season. Frazier stated during a media call that having the four Black gymnasts on the team, herself included, weigh in on the leotard's design was vital."I'm glad that we did speak about the leo, and that we were able to make adjustments and make it what it is now, which is probably the most beautiful leotard I've ever seen.
Frazier further told POPSUGAR,"I think it's perfect and it's beautiful and it's regal and it's elegant. And I feel very proud and honored to wear such a special leo for the first time. When we are all in that leo, we just feel nothing but power.
