Caitlin Clark had a great start to the season with the Indiana Fever, but her quadriceps and groin injury, which has persisted since mid-July, has limited her to only 13 games for the team this year.
However, despite remaining off the courts with an indefinite return, CC has not remained idle.
A new partnership for Clark following her announcement with Nike
After stealing the spotlight with a historic announcement that she is officially a Nike signature athlete, complete with her own logo combining the Cs in her name and a preview of a clothing collection, a new partner has joined her career.
On Thursday, Clark confirmed to her followers that she has partnered with Stanley. This American brand is recognized worldwide for its reusable containers for both food and beverages.
“Relentless drive demands relentless fuel,” Stanley announced on its official Instagram account, alongside a promotional video showing the 23-year-old star using its merchandise while shining on the court with an unbeatable attitude.
They also announced the launch date for this new project: “The Stanley 1913 x Caitlin Clark collection drops at 9 AM PST September 3 on Stanley1913.com and select retailers for pre-sale.”
In response to the announcement, fans not only showed their unwavering support for CC’s new project, but also expressed their eagerness to get their hands on the products:
“STANLEY CUP AND QUEENIE?! I’M SO HERE FOR IT,” commented one of them.
“Two of my favorites working together??? Sign me up,” said another user.
“Just take all my money @caitlinclark22. I want it all!!!!,” another fan said without hesitation.
“No way!! Need one ASAP!,” another follower said.
“I don’t even play basketball and I want one of those,” a fifth commented sincerely.
It’s not just her amazing college legacy that has positioned her as a sports icon, but also her solid career in the WNBA, where she has only been for two years and has already broken numerous records. Her charisma and talent are the perfect combination that not only steals the attention of fans, but also of brands looking to work and collaborate with her.
Of course, Nike and Stanley aren’t the first brands to notice this; other companies have already set their sights on Clark, such as Gatorade, State Farm, and more.
Despite this and her fight to return, her comeback has not been officially confirmed, even if the team secures a spot in the playoffs. Meanwhile, the Fever are preparing to travel and face the Los Angeles Sparks on Friday, the 29th, at Crypto.com Arena.
