Best Answer

The Los Angeles Lakers were the first NBA team to have cheerleaders: Jerry Buss created a squad of cheerleaders called the Laker Girls for the purpose of entertaining the crowd during the game and at halftime, and many other teams followed suite when they saw the revenue the Lakers were bringing in from that venture.

Dallas Cowboys



WRONG! The Dallas Cowboys' cheerleaders were the first to lower their necklines and raise their hemlines.


For the NFL, The Baltimore Colts were the first team in the NFL to have cheerleaders in 1954. They were also a part of the Baltimore Colts Marching Band.

The first team to have cheerleaders at their games was the Green Bay Packers, who hired high school girls from the local Green Bay East and West in 1931 to come cheer for them. The Eagles had the Eaglettes in 1948, but they weren't made an official squad until the 1970s. The team given credit for the first organized Cheerleading squad was the Baltimore Colts in 1954.

The Cowboys didn't have any cheerleaders until 1960, and they hired a squad in 1972, which is considered the most famous of them all.

The CORRECT answer is the BALTIMORE COLTS, in 1954. The Indianapolis Colts did not come into being until 1983 which misleads the readers into thinking the first NFL cheerleaders did not appear until 1983.
