June 8, 2009 - Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA) News Release
NEW YORK, June 8, 2009 - For the second consecutive season, adidas is giving WNBA fans the opportunity to combine their passion for the game with their creativity to design a shooting shirt that will be worn oncourt during the 2009 WNBA All-Star Game on July 25 in Connecticut.
Fans can log onto WNBA.com/idesign from June 8 to July 5, 2009 and submit their designs. The winning design, as determined by a panel of WNBA and adidas representatives, will be manufactured by adidas, the Official Outfitter of the WNBA, and worn oncourt by all players participating in the 2009 WNBA All-Star Game. Fans can also rate and comment on each submitted design online.
The winner will receive a trip for two to the 2009 WNBA All-Star Game and will be acknowledged during the game. The winning shirt will be sold on nbastore.com, at the NBA Store on 5th Avenue in New York City, and in-arena at the Mohegan Sun Arena during the All-Star game.
The 2008 winner, Meghan Farley, designed a creative shooting shirt incorporating each WNBA team logo united within a silhouette of the WNBA logo. Her shirt, which all players wore oncourt during the 2008 WNBA Finals, was sold online at wnbastore.com and was the top-selling item during its first on-sale date. The AT&T Center, home of the San Antonio Silver Stars, sold out of the shooting shirts by the third quarter of the game.
