12 May The Ultimate Guide To WNBA Jersey Sponsors
The WNBA experienced huge growth across the board in the last couple of years, and brand placement on uniforms is one way brands can get inolved with this booming league as the Caitlin Clark era continues, expansion teams join and new college stars debut.
Like the NBA, the WNBA sells the jersey patch asset on the upper left corner of uniforms, but WNBA teams also have larger front-of-jersey sponsor placement available under the numbers. Additionally, AT&T is on the lower back of every team’s uniform as part of a league deal with the WNBA. With two major placement opportunities on top of the leaguewide lower back placement, WNBA teams can offer multiple sponsors prime uniform real estate.
For the upcoming season, these are the current jersey patch and front-of-jersey partners for all 15 WNBA teams.
