    That’s actually cool….Make the uniforms look good

  2. great name actually. hoping Toronto doesn’t fuck theirs up lol

  3. HokageEzio

    Amazonians was taken. I like it though.

    Purple seems like a bit of a weird choice though if they’re tying it to the Warriors. But I’m not gonna be upset at teams not doing the same colors without branching out.

  4. CabbageStockExchange

    Ooh I like that. Hope the jerseys are cool

  5. theREALMVP

    With Kings and Monarchs (pls bring then back Vivek) colors…

  6. UncircumciseMe

    A homage to Kyrie for hitting that dagger in Game 7!

  7. Hope the wnba minimum salary is increased before these players have to sleep in bunk beds in Oakland

  8. AnkitPancakes

    so how does the expansion work here? will they get picks in the 2025 wnba draft and also be able to pick players from other teams via expansion draft?

    i ask because if the valkyrie could get paige bueckers, you couldn’t ask for a better start to a franchise

  9. masterofkeef

    maybe a dumb question, hope I don’t offend anyone, but how can they afford expansions? Isn’t the WNBA non profitable and subsidized by the NBA?

  10. Not gonna lie, that goes hard. Now they just need to get Caitlin Clark

  11. PlacetMihi

    I hope the owner isn’t a man with long blond hair. Otherwise there could be trouble.

  12. LuckyStax

    Give them Bryan Danielson’s AEW theme and they set, song screams WNBA vibes and it a remix set to flight of the valyries

  13. jl_theprofessor

    I like the name but does it have anything to do with the area?

  14. ExpectedOutcome2

    That’s easily one of the best names in the WNBA. There are some not great ones.

    Great name. Great looking logo. I’m not sold on the color. It’s not a bad color, per se, but “Valkyrie Violet” just feels like choosing this color for branding due to the alliteration. It feels wrong that Golden State doesn’t have gold in the color. But if you go with violet and gold, it’s too similar to the Lakers branding-wise. If I have to choose between gold and violet, I’ll take gold every time. Valkyries are warriors, so metallic colors would fit extremely well. So I think the color could be better.

    WWE Superstar Lyra Valkyrie has a new favorite WNBA team now.. lmao..

  17. Oh Lawd! Next they’ll announce a team in San Jose. 🙄

  18. CradleRockStyle

    They should serve mead instead of beer at the arena.

  19. Glad for WNBA expansion. Hopefully the Sacramento Monarchs get a rebirth soon!

    is expanaion the best idea for a sports league that is pretty much fully supported by another league for the same sport? i get the schedules dont fully overlap but..
