What happened: The Phoenix Mercury have officially released their 2026 Pride gear collection, celebrating the LGBTQ+ community during the WNBA season. The new line features apparel and accessories branded with the franchise's updated identity and rainbow motifs, now available at the Footprint Center and online.
Why it matters: The launch comes as the team (4-8) looks to build on a two-game winning streak that snapped a difficult six-game slide. Despite recent injuries to Kahleah Copper and Alyssa Thomas, the Mercury have maintained competitive play in the Commissioner’s Cup standings.
By the numbers: West Standings: 7th (4-8). Last 3: W 78-72 @ Portland, W 72-68 vs. Seattle, L 77-111 vs. Minnesota. Team Leader: Copper (18.2 PPG).
What to watch: Phoenix travels to face the Golden State Valkyries on June 9. The team returns home to host the Los Angeles Sparks on June 13.
