The graphic advised women to wear "girl about town" lipstick along with "false eyelashes" and "flattering eye shadow." It discouraged women from wearing "tops or bottoms that cover the midriff" or "hair slick-backed or in a ponytail."
After an outcry from students on campus, they deleted it.

The school has responded to the outcry. In a statement, Husky athletics officials said they created the graphic "in response to a high volume of student questions about cheer and dance team tryouts."
They explained they removed it due to, "some of the details and descriptions provided were inconsistent with the values of the UW spirit program and department of athletics."
