The WNBA Released Its New Uniforms Ahead Of Wednesday’s Draft


WNBA

The 2019 WNBA Draft takes place on Wednesday night, and although the league still doesn’t have a new president to welcome its players to the pros, the league did reveal new jerseys prior to the draft getting underway at 7 p.m.

Additionally, the league released its new logo Monday, but that won’t appear on any WNBA paraphernalia until 2020.

This is year two of the WNBA’s jersey partnership with Nike, just as it is in the NBA. Each team will have three jerseys: the Icon and Statement editions, which are in the team’s primary and secondary colors, and a special-edition gray jersey for Breast Health Awareness month in August.

The most significant change in the jerseys from 2018 to this year is they no longer have the player’s number on the front of the jersey. Instead, the team logo takes that place, and the number is only on the back. For the franchises who have jersey sponsors, those logos appear on top (where you might expect the name of the team to be on an NBA jersey), as well as patches on the top left corner. After years of sponsor names removing most signs of the team from the jersey, this is a nice compromise for the WNBA.
