UConn’s Paige Bueckers reacts to Golden State Valkyries new colorway
Before officially joining the WNBA as its 13th franchise and the first expansion team since 2008, the WNBA Golden State squad needed to reveal their branding and team name before they hit the court. On Tuesday, WNBA Golden State announced their team name would be the Golden State Valkyries.
While the reveal of the Valkyries new branding had the basketball community buzzing, the colorway of “Valkyrie Violet” caught the attention of one of the top young prospects in women’s college basketball. UConn star guard and potential 2025 WNBA No. 1 overall pick Paige Bueckers took to Twitter with a reaction to the Valyries new colorway.

Bueckers will return to UConn for the 2024-25 season.
