The Las Vegas Aces are set to defend their WNBA championship in the 2024 season, and A'Ja Wilson is coming in with a brand new look.
The growth of women's basketball in the past couple of years has been exponential, but with more eyes on the WNBA right now, the two-time champion took a chance to rebrand herself along with her mother team.
Entering this season, the Las Vegas Aces are bringing back the silver and black look. It was a chance for A'Ja Wilson to be creative by dying her hair silver to go with the new team colors.
"So when we found out that- obviously, the Aces, we lost the red a little bit, and we went back to silver and black, I said, why not do platinum silver hair? That's what's it all about-- rebranding," said Wilson through an interview with Fox News.
"We're here now with silver hair. I don't know how long she will stay, but I know I'm just having a little fun with it."
The bid for a WNBA three-peat for the Aces begins on May 14 when they open their new season against Brittney Griner and the Phoenix Mercury. The game will be held at the Michelob Ultra Arena and the tip-off starts at 10:00 p.m. Eastern Time.
