Indiana Fever star rookie Caitlin Clark is one of the biggest names in the basketball world currently. After setting several records at Iowa during her collegiate career, he was the No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 WNBA Draft.
While things haven’t gone great for Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever on the court, as they are 0-4. She is finding out first hand how different the pro game is compared to college, as the level of physicality has been raised.
Off the court she is winning. You can rarely go a commercial break without seeing an advertisement for a company that endorses her or the game she will be playing.
On Tuesday, it was announced that another off-court venture will be taking place. According to Boardroom, shared by Alexa Phillippou of ESPN, Caitlin Clark is signing a multiyear partnership deal with sports equipment company, Wilson.
A signature basketball collection featuring the Indiana Fever star will be part of the collaboration. That puts Caitlin Clark in rare air, as the only other player to have a signature collection from the sports apparel giant is Michael Jordan.
As shared by ESPN, three Clark-branded basketballs have already been shared by Wilson. Threes Up, Record Breaker and Crowd Maestro are the names of the basketballs in the collection that feature Iowa moments with laser engravements.
“I think it is super special, and it’s been fun for me,” Clark told Boardroom. “I feel like I was just that young kid who had those basketballs that I would store in the garage. I’m just very lucky and fortunate to partner with Wilson to create something that everyone can enjoy. It connects with a lot of generations, and it’ll be fun to see kids walking around holding them.” (H/T ESPN)
Caitlin Clark will also be an ambassador for Wilson. She will be part of the testing process and advise the company on its basketball gear. Wilson is also the maker of the official WNBA game ball.
Along with Wilson, the Indiana Fever star is featured for Nike, State Farm and Gatorade. She capitalized on the NIL deals collegiately while at Iowa and has continued finding success off the court as she transitions to the pro game.
Despite being only four games into her professional career, Caitlin Clark has already had a lasting impact on the league. Her star power has helped bring extra eyes and money to the league, allowing for chartered flights for every team for the first time.
