Angel Reese, the Chicago Sky's rookie sensation, is making waves both on and off the court. Known for her fierce playing style, Reese is just one game away from matching Candace Parker's record of 12 consecutive double-doubles. But while her performance on the court is historic, her potential off the court could be even sweeter. Rumors are swirling about a significant endorsement deal with a $37 billion candy giant, Hershey's.
The buzz began after Reese's impressive debut win against Caitlin Clark’s Indiana Fever. The hashtag “Reese’s pieces” started trending, capturing the attention of fans and the company alike. When Reese cheekily tweeted, “Where yall at????”, Hershey’s responded with, “Where are we? Just following our favorite player.
” This playful interaction hinted at a major collaboration on the horizon. TMZ Sports reports that talks are ongoing, though no official confirmation has been made. A Hershey’s spokesperson teased, “Reese x Reese does sound quite tasty.”
Reese’s love for the candy brand is no secret.
She even commissioned artist Marvin Baroota to design custom peanut butter cup-themed sneakers, which she proudly showcased during a recent game against the Minnesota Lynx. This creative display not only delighted fans but also underscored her growing influence and marketability.
Reese’s potential deal with Hershey’s is just one of many in her burgeoning endorsement portfolio. The former LSU star has secured a multi-year deal with Reebok, promising her own signature sneaker. She’s also collaborated with Beats By Dre, providing custom headphones for the entire LSU roster. Her name is linked with major brands like Airbnb, Amazon, PlayStation, SI Swimsuit, and Starry.
Before stepping into the WNBA, Reese signed a notable deal with Panini America. This partnership included a “Panini Instant WNBA Draft Night trading card” and a series of collegiate and WNBA products featuring her autographed memorabilia. Reese's impressive list of NIL (Name, Image, Likeness) deals highlights her commercial appeal and savvy business sense.
Angel Reese’s impact on the court is undeniable, but her potential off the court is equally impressive. With a knack for securing high-profile endorsements and a playful personality that resonates with fans, Reese is poised to become a major player in the world of sports marketing.
As she continues to break records and secure deals, the future looks incredibly bright for this rising star.
