Fashion is Dum -- wait, WTF, those are cheerleaders?

Courtesy of the fine folks at USA Today and their funky new dot designs comes this story perfect for a "Fashion is Dumb" post. As most of you should know by now (except maybe Clarence...not sure he is aware the NBA still exists), los Nets de Nueva Jersey have moved a few miles north, to Brooklyn. Jay-Z is (literally) a minority owner in the team, and Russian billionare Mikhail "Opulence" Prokhorov is the owner, meaning no expense has been spared in anything related to the team: from the new Barclays Center to the concessions at the game (and silverware) to the team's uniform's to the cheerleaders outfits.

Wait, strike that, this appears to be the new cheerleader outfits, and it looks like they borrowed this look from hookers who used to inhabit the neighborhood:

Are those things made of f'ing leather? Latex? Both, maybe? Go Nets.
