Angel Reese has scored yet another endorsement deal, and this one is a no-brainer
The WNBA All-Star released a "Reese's Pieces" apparel collection in partnership with The Hershey Company on TheAngelReese.com. Two more collections, including a jersey, are set to drop in the future.
“The fans really made this happen,” Reese told the Boardroom's Nick DePaula. “This collection is for my Reese’s Pieces — who’ve been with me every step of the way.”
This sponsorship deal comes after a social media interaction between Reese and the candy brand in which Reese referred to her fans as "Reese's pieces" after a big win against the Indiana Fever back in June. The candy brand responded with a custom graphic of a chocolate candy wearing a sweatband.
Days later, Reese rocked a pair of custom Reeboks designed by Marvin Baroota that featured the Reese's candy logo and a peanut butter cup painted across the shoe.

The collection, which dropped on Wednesday, features eight items and includes t-shirts, sweatshirts and hats.

“We worked as quickly as possible with Reese’s to build a collection that really reflected who I am — bold, vibrant, and unapologetically me," Reese said.
Reese is having a stellar rookie season for the Chicago Sky, averaging 13.6 points and 12.3 rebounds through 27 starts and on pace to break the single-season rookie record for double-doubles.
