New WNBA City Edition jerseys leaked, allegedly
Late Sunday night, people were tweeting an alleged leak of the new WNBA City Edition jerseys which were rumored to launch on April 8th. Looks like the Washington Mystics and Dallas Wings jerseys were released and rumor has it the Law Vegas Aces and Los Angeles Sparks jerseys are also out in select Dick’s Sporting Goods.
People are speculating this must have been an error on the part of Dick’s Sporting Goods since the jerseys were not set to release until next month. On top of the hype around the jerseys, the name of Elena Delle Donne of the Washington Mystics was misspelled. This had to go through not only WNBA approval process, but also Nike. Where did the ball get dropped? No pun intended.
Time will tell if this was on purpose as a planned leak or a much bigger faux pas on the part of Dick’s.
