"Syd is a menace": Fever fans in a laugh riot as Sydney Colson rocks WNBA Commissioner's infamous outfit ahead of Liberty showdown

Indiana Fever guard Sydney Colson stays true to her brand when she appeared ahead of the team's bout against the New York Liberty on Wednesday. Colson wore a dress that caught a ton of attention last season.

In Game 5 of the WNBA Finals last year, the Minnesota Lynx took on the Liberty. Commissioner Cathy Engelbert was in attendance during that game, and she went viral for her dress that featured the skyline of New York City.

Colson, who was with the Las Vegas Aces at that time, stumbled upon the same dress that the commissioner wore and took a selfie with it. The veteran guard posted it on her X (formerly Twitter) account, which fans took notice.
