The only thing coming close to looking as good as 30 years of the W are the rebellious Nike jerseys that will take to the floor to celebrate this coronation.
Let’s take a look at each team and let us know who you’re rocking with in the comments.
EASTERN CONFERENCE
Atlanta Dream
This one is so Atlanta you could almost see Trae Young bringing it down court…but he runs D.C. now. This ATL product, designed by the players, represents roots that will spread to the future of the franchise. It may be in lower case, but it makes exclamations.
Chicago Sky
Chicago’s blue is looking different and who better than SKYlar Diggins to put on for the city? How about Chi-town’s Transit Authority, who are honoured with this denim design? More of an American dream than Springsteen. Representing the grit and the Luka like 77 neighborhoods of the Windy City in the stars.
Connecticut Sun
Like the return of the Portland Fire, the Connecticut Sun will connect with the WNBA’s Houston Comets roots in next season’s relocation. So, it’s one more time for the Mohegan Tribe this year, through the path of the sun. Keesusk forever.
Indiana Fever
Running more picket fences than those Indiana Pacers Hoosiers throwbacks, this red is set to run all the way to the finals. Even the belt buckle “expect(s) to win”. Your next best-selling Caitlin Clark jersey is here.
New York Liberty
The Liberty may rock the Statue as such, but they are as Brooklyn bound as Barclays. Finally, they come to the beautiful borough and city’s culture by putting on for the cables that connect Manhattan and Brooklyn on the shorts. Although the Equality jerseys really were a good look.
Toronto Tempo
With the temperature rising in Toronto this summer for Canada’s first WNBA franchise, every jersey is a new one. But the Nike Rebel really represents for the country from which it came. Oh, Canada, those colours. Borealis blue and Tempo Bordeaux.
Washington Mystics
Whilst DC looks for a new day like AD, the Mystics represent for Black Broadway and the District of Change. The show must go on for U Street and the Laser Fuchsia colours burn bright like the evolution of Washington.
WESTERN CONFERENCE
Dallas Wings
Looking like classic Mavericks from the 90s, these new jerseys really take wing with the classic Dallas Diamonds women’s teams of the 1970’s and 80s. Playing in the WBL and WABA respectively. Is a name change coming next for an anniversary that honours legacy?
Golden State Valkyries
Bay Area basketball is given its grace in these gorgeous black jerseys. Of course, such a new franchise means we can’t distinguish between what’s old with these looks, but that’s where the legacy of legend comes in. The San Jose Lasers, of the ABL from, and the San Francisco Pioneers, the first Bay Area women’s basketball team. And the Golden State Valkyries, who’ve got next.
Las Vegas Aces
A’ja Wilson’s Jean Grey ‘Phoenix’ red hair perfectly matches these new script jerseys marking the spot like an X. Need we say anymore? Fit for a queen, an MVP…and a champion. All bets are on this.
LA Sparks
In these Hollywood nights, you just know the City of Angels are going to come out with something that flips the script. Just like you know guard Kelsey Plum is going to play like Jordan in Barcelona, but this time covering the Nike logo with the Adidas athlete’s hair. In the same season that the Sparks take it back to their Lisa Leslie era jerseys, what better way to celebrate Nneka Ogwumike’s homecoming than with these beautiful black threads?
Minnesota Lynx
Blink and you’ll miss these jerseys that aren’t be messed with like the team’s mantra. It hasn’t looked this good in Minnesota black since Kevin Garnett was dunking between the trees. Lend your ears to the animal print that honours the franchise’s cat. Let’s hear it for it.
Phoenix Mercury
Like the Suns, the PHX pays homage to the people of this Arizona town. The orange and purple of the wordmarks X puts on for the team’s “X-Factor” fanbase. No better six woman than that. Leaving it all out on the floor with the Rebel Edition court to go with it. The only one in the WNBA of its type.
Portland Fire
If this was Chicago, you could find these rebels in Derrick Rose’s flower shop. Yet Rose City does for the returning and rebranded Portland Fire, what RIP City does for the brotherhood of Portland Trail Blazers. It’s all about trails, like the chevrons, and a beautiful design blooms throughout the petals of black roses.
Seattle Storm
Seattle stay similar to all the rebels that came before it, but this reigning neon design, shining bright, is set to light up any rainy night in Emerald City. The clouds and bolts embrace the rebel and Seattle side even more, and a circular pattern of a storm system remains, like their window of contention.
Rebel hearts. You’ve got to love it.
