The WNBA’s first expansion team in over a decade has finally arrived, and so, too, have its brand new jerseys.
Golden State will don a pair of uniforms — a black Explorer Edition and white Heroine Edition — as a representation of who Valkyries are: “Fierce, bold and strong,” Valkyries Senior Vice President of Marketing & Communications Kimberly Veale said in a press release.
“When our athletes and fans alike put on a Valkyries uniform during our inaugural season, they will embody that ethos,” Veale continued. “These uniforms represent another major milestone for the franchise as we prepare to welcome WNBA basketball to the Bay Area in 2025.”
