Caitlin Clark just did something no athlete has done since Michael Jordan
Caitlin Clark, a breakout basketball player, has achieved something unprecedented since Michael Jordan.
The WNBA player has inked a multi-year contract with Wilson Sporting Goods Co., the league's official basketball supplier
to create "signature basketball collections celebrating Clark's continued legacy," the business announced Tuesday.
Wilson stated that Clark will "test, advise, and provide feedback on a range" of its basketball items, become a brand ambassador, and release new designs in her honor throughout the rest of 2024.
In addition, she will "creatively direct her first-ever signature basketball line" which will be released later this year.
She is the first female player to have her own Wilson line, according to a business spokeswoman, and the series will be built in the style of Jordan's 1980s collection, which included signature basketballs.
"Wilson has been with me across some of the most pivotal moments in my career so far, and I couldn't be more excited to continue driving basketball forward alongside them," Clark stated in a news release.
"It feels surreal to have my own basketball collection, and to affect what that means for future generations of athletes."
