Nike became the WNBA’s official apparel provider prior to the 2018 season. While not necessarily a change from the past, the state of the league’s jersey situation subsequently drew criticism from fans due to the identical nature of each team’s design.
In 2021, Nike totally overhauled the looks for all 12 franchises and announced three dedicated uniform sets: Heroine, Explorer and Rebel. Much like the “City Edition” uniforms in the NBA, the “Rebel” jerseys have embraced a unique look and local connection for every team.
Thursday’s announcement follows five teams getting a Rebel Edition update in 2023.
