Angel Reese landed her sweetest partnership to date.
The Chicago Sky rookie has partnered with Reese’s, the peanut butter-filled candy that shares her last name, to create the Angel Reese x Reese’s Pieces Logo Collection. The first drop was released on Wednesday and contains hats, sweatshirts, t-shirts and cropped tees with the “Reese’s Angel” logo on the front, as well as a themed Reese jersey.
“To the Reese’s Pieces, y’all made this happen! Shop our limited edition Angel Reese x Reese’s Pieces Logo Collection on http://TheAngelReese.com NOW! Stay tuned for 2 more drops to come. WE LOVE YOU ALL!!! @reeses,” she wrote.
“The fans really made this happen,” said Reese in a press statement. “This collection is for my Reese’s Pieces – 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!”
Reese explained to Boardroom, “The connection between my name and the Reese’s brand was obvious, but it went deeper than that. My fans started calling themselves ‘Reese’s Pieces,’ and after I kept seeing it on social, I started engaging with some of my fans about it. I wanted to deliver something that they could proudly wear this season. We worked as quickly as possible with Reese’s to build a collection that really reflected who I am – bold, vibrant, and unapologetically me.”
The collaboration started with a post on X from Reese following the Sky’s win over the Indiana Fever on June 25. Reese tweeted the company saying “Reese’s pieces where y’all at?????” The Reese’s account replied back to the tweet today posting images of the new apparel and saying “Where are we? Just following our favorite player.”
Reese is having quite the rookie WNBA season. Through 27 games, she’s averaging 13.6 points, 12.3 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game.
