Dope Sports Threads - New WNBA "Rebel" Uniforms

Nike dropped new "Rebel" uniforms for the WNBA earlier this week. I can get on my soapbox and rant about how some teams in sports are losing their identities, but I'll save that for another post. 

The following are some of my favorite design concepts for the "Rebel" line. 



WNBA Rebel Edition Uniforms - Dallas Wings

There is a simplicity to these that is extraordinary. These are my favorites in the entire concept for that very reason. 




WNBA Rebel Edition Uniforms - Golden State Valkyries

The Valkyries have something special in their design. In the current landscape of sports, it's difficult to own something truly unique - they have that. In this "Rebel" line, these designs further (and protect) that concept. 




Portland Fire Rebel Edition

Personally I find the [enter alternate name for city] usage to entering a space of being overdone. However, in this concept, it still feels authentic and unforced. Most importantly, the rose sublimation pattern is so freakin' cool. 



WNBA Rebel Edition Uniforms - Minnesota Lynx

The Lynx will always bring back awesome memories of Maya Moore for me. 

Regardless of all of that, these are sleek, and I love the way the "Lynx" pops. 




WNBA Rebel Edition Uniforms - New York Liberty

I don't know how I feel about these. It's my hometown Liberty, and "New York" works so well with the Liberty color scheme. "Brooklyn" across the chest, I understand, because they play in the Barclays Center, but it also feels off. 

Then again...I sort of like them. Ehhhh.

By the way, Liberty Mutual, as the official sponsor, is about as perfect a partnership in sports sponsorship as you can get.

Would You Rather: Questions 121-130

This edition of "Would You Rather" is credited to the NBA Would You Rather NBA Account on Instagram ( See Here ). Adding to the fun, this edition (and possibly future ones) are all NBA basketball questions.  121. Who would you rather have on your favorite NBA team - Giannis Antetokounpo or James Harden?  Seeing how I'm a lifelong suffering Knicks fan, the thought of any of these guys in blue and orange is hard to believe. With that said, I'm taking the Greek Freak for this reason - I enjoy watching him play a bit more. Nothing against Harden who is amazing as well, but at times, the ball sticks and that isn't always fun. Plus, I feel like we haven't yet seen a finished Giannis. 122. Would you rather have Giannis Antetokounpo with no driving ability or James Harden with no Three-Point shooting ability?  This is definitely a weird and unique one, but I'll take Harden. Giannis without his strength doesn't offer much. However, if Harden's d...

The Pondering 10 - Favorite Knicks Head Coaches

I'm still on a championship high (probably until Banner night in October to be honest), so I'm dropping more Pondering 10s as my brain (and heart) works through all of the emotions and reflection from my beloved New York Knicks - 2025-2026 NBA Champions!  Let's talk coaches.  We've been through so many. My fellow Knicks fans, we've seen so many coaches walk the sidelines of Madison Square Garden, and the recent championship is so amazing to think about - Mike Brown, one year, title.  With that said, here is a list of my favorite Knicks Coaches (in my lifetime, so no Red Holtzman). It's tougher than you think, but we're doing it.  To begin, here are those banned from this list. On the sheer qualifier that these coaches - by fault of their own, or maybe not - will always resonate with disdain and the lowest of the lows.  Derek Fisher Oh, the Phil Jackson era. When we were given a coach who had never done so before, implementing the triangle offense was more im...
