Fans say the same thing as Iowa State Fair unveils bizarre butter sculptures of Caitlin Clark, Kurt Warner and Jack Trice
A bizarre butter sculpture of NCAA Division 1 college basketball star Caitlin Clark has been making the rounds of social media following Thursday’s reveal, as fans all say the exact same thing…that it looks nothing like the Iowa point guard…
Sarah Pratt, along with her students and daughters, Hannah and Grace, displayed the artwork in Des Moines – the capital of Iowa – along with sculptures of two other local area high profile athletes: retired NFL QB Kurt Warner and John Trice – the first Afro American athlete who represented Iowa State College in 1922.
And fans of Clark’s went berserk on Twitter after snaps of this year’s Naismith Player of the Year statue were shared online, including some featuring Governor, Kim Reynolds.
“That butter statue of Caitlin Clark looked (sic) very familiar…” said someone who compared the statue to an infamous statue of Cristiano Ronaldo at Madeira airport in Portugal.
“Butter Caitlin Clark is going on my Halloween costume list,” another tweeted.

Clark also won three gold medals representing the U.S. at the youth level and was named MVP of the 2021 FIBA U-19 Women’s Basketball World Cup.
She was embroiled in controversy after First Lady Jill Biden suggested inviting Iowa and LSU to the White House after the national championship game this spring.
Reese also got Clark’s name trending after mocking her counterpart’s “You Can’t See Me” hand signal inspired by retired WWE star, John Cena.
Iowa will now attempt to make history by setting the all-time women’s basketball attendance record when it hosts DePaul in an outdoor exhibition game at 69,000-seat Kinnick Stadium on Oct. 15, the school announced Thursday, according to ESPN.
