Social Media Is Raving Over Angel Reese’s Breaking Announcement That Couldn’t Be More Perfect
The Chicago Sky forward has been having a very productive rookie season in 2024 and has also achieved quite a lot off the court since getting drafted in April.
A partnership with Reese’s always seemed like it was bound to happen once her popularity exploded, and it became official this week, with the WNBA star and the candy company teaming up to launch a limited collection of threads.
The collection, which includes custom t-shirts, hoodies, cropped shirts, and hats, all bear peanut butter cups and Angel Reese branding. They are set to be sold over three exclusive releases, and it appears that fans are just as excited as the former LSU Lady Tiger, who thanked her supporters for making this happen.
“This collection is for my Reese’s Pieces,” Reese said in a statement, “who’ve been with me every step of the way and the design elements bring together things that I love — basketball, style, and of course, Reese’s!”
As noted above, fans are looking forward to getting their hands on Reese’s new merch.
“heading to the website nowwww 😊,” one declared.
“Can’t wait to rock this! 🍫🔥 Excited for the next drops!” said another.
“Im officially a Reese’s angel 😂…will this get me flewed out 👀,” someone else claimed.
“Congratulations! When marketing goes right…Everybody Eats! SALUTE!!!” another stated.
“I need one of those hoodies like ASAP,” someone admitted.
Angel Reese Kicked Her New Partnership Off With A Cheeky Reference
Reese and Reese’s got in contact earlier in the summer after the Sky rookie referred to her fans as “Reese’s Pieces” in the wake of a win over her rival Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever. They began discussing a partnership after the post went viral.
The parties finally got a deal over the line on Wednesday for what Hershey’s branded a “first-of-its-kind fan-inspired collaboration.”
Prices for Reese x Reese’s threads start at $39.
