In April, Angel Reese took to Twitter to express her desire for a new nickname. One of her fans suggested “Reese’s Pieces,”and this caught the attention of the WNBA player. As a result, she was approached by the well-known candy brand, Reese’s, for a potential collaboration.
WNBA player Angel Reese, who was previously referred to as the “Bayou Barbie”during her time playing basketball at LSU, has recently revealed her official partnership with Reese’s.
In her Instagram post, she thanked her fans for making the limited edition Angel Reese x Reese’s Pieces Logo Collection a success. The collection is now available to shop on TheAngelReese.com, with two more drops to come. She expressed her love for her fans and encouraged them to stay tuned for future updates.
The collaboration for the Chicago Sky player features a special collection of jerseys in shades of orange and yellow, showcasing her name and WNBA number.
The collection includes personalized t-shirts, cropped shirts, hoodies, and hats, all adorned with a picture of a Reese’s peanut butter cup. Each item also features her name.
In anticipation of high demand from enthusiastic fans, Reese’s opted to have three separate dates for the exclusive release of their merchandise.
The partnership was formed following a tweet from Angel in April, where she expressed her desire for a new nickname now that she is in Chicago. She stated, “I am in need of a new name that is as charming and memorable as Bayou Barbie.”
