The WNBA season is upon us and teams are gearing up for the season, including announcing new merchandise for fans. Some lucky fans will even have a new jersey to rock from their favorite team.

The story behind the details in the Storm’s jersey was perfectly told and the bold neon mixed with a black base makes this jersey stand out.
The jersey perfectly encompassed the sunrise and sunset in Phoenix and the mix of colors will work with a variety of skin tones and color…
