Angel Reese signs ‘perfect’ new sponsorship deal as Chicago star and Caitlin Clark continue to cash in on WNBA success
Angel Reese has struck a very fitting sponsorship deal with an iconic candy brand.
The Chicago Sky forward is having a strong debut season and, along with Caitlin Clark, has generated huge ratings in the WNBA.
Now, Reese has inked a sponsorship deal with Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups (via The Hershey Company), as she announced in an excited message to X on Wednesday.
‘To Reese’s pieces [what she calls her fans]“You made this possible!” she said said.
‘Shop our limited edition Angel Reese x Reese’s Pieces Logo Collection… NOW! Stay tuned for 2 more drops. WE LOVE YOU ALL!!!’
WNBA rookie Angel Reese has teamed up with Reese’s for a limited edition clothing line
The collection includes t-shirts, baseball caps and hoodies available for purchase at theangelreese.com
Reese wrote in another post that she had been trying to make a deal with Reese’s for “four years.”
Reese had initially tagged Reese’s in an X message in June asking “where are you guys?”, which led to her fans contacting the company en masse about a possible collaboration.
As part of the sponsorship, which involves a limited edition clothing line collaboration between Reese’s and the candy brand, several items have been made available for purchase on theangelreese.com.
The products include t-shirts, hats and hoodies, with the latter costing $79.
Reese and Clark have faced each other three times this season, with Clark emerging victorious twice
Reese emerged as a major star and personality while attending LSU, landing endorsement deals with brands like Beats by Dre, Reebok and Airbnb.
Meanwhile, Clark also gained national fame and closed many lucrative deals, including with State Farm, Gatorade and Nike.
Reese and Clark will face off for the fourth time this season when the Fever comes to the Sky on August 30.
That game was promoted by Sky, in collaboration with Mattel, as ‘Barbie Night’, a nod to their ‘Bayou Barbie’ Reese.
