WNBA team colors

Atlanta Dream

Each colour in the 2020 brand carries a stated meaning: Dream Red for energy, pride, and passion, dark grey for strength, light grey for reliability, and white for humility. The original light blue survives as an accent, standing for unity and loyalty.

Chicago Sky

Sky blue and bright yellow have been the franchise colours since 2006, a sunny sky to match the team name. The 2018 rebrand kept both and added black and grey to give the identity a sharper, more modern edge.

Connecticut Sun

Orange and navy were adopted when the franchise moved from Orlando to Uncasville in 2003. The radiant orange reflects the sun in the team's name, while the deep navy grounds it against the New England setting.

Dallas Wings

Navy, lime green, and cyan arrived with the move to Texas in 2016 and made a clean break from the franchise's past. The lime is one of the brightest accents in the WNBA and makes the Wings instantly recognisable on court.

Golden State Valkyries

Valkyrie Violet was chosen to stand apart from every other palette in the league - no other WNBA team leads with purple. Paired with black and gold, it ties the franchise to the Bay Area while giving it a wholly distinct identity from the Warriors.

Indiana Fever

Navy and yellow tie the Fever to their sister franchise, the Indiana Pacers, and to the state's basketball tradition. Red supplies the heat in the team name.

Las Vegas Aces

Black and silver give the franchise a sleek, high-contrast look suited to its Las Vegas home. The palette carried over from the team's San Antonio years and was sharpened after the 2018 relocation.

Los Angeles Sparks

Purple and gold echo the city's basketball tradition and the Sparks' shared history with the Lakers. A supporting teal was added in the 2021 refresh to modernise the palette without abandoning its roots.

New York Liberty

Seafoam green and copper are drawn directly from the Statue of Liberty - the oxidised patina of the monument and the warm tone of its torch. The 2020 rebrand replaced a generic red-white-blue scheme with something unmistakably New York.

Minnesota Lynx

Midnight blue, lake blue, aurora green, and moonlight gray were adopted in 2018 as a unified Minnesota palette shared with the Timberwolves. The set reads as the state itself: deep water, northern lights, and winter light.

Phoenix Mercury

Purple and orange are the Valley colors the Mercury have worn since 1997. The 2026 rebrand deepened both and added psychic purple, a lighter violet used as a highlight rather than a fourth equal.

Portland Fire

Fire red and pink carry the flame in the team's name, while a glacial blue nods to Mount Hood on the horizon. The palette was built for the 2026 revival of a franchise that last played in 2002.

Seattle Storm

Green and yellow were chosen in the 2021 rebrand to inherit the colours of the Seattle SuperSonics, the NBA franchise the city lost in 2008. Storm green anchors the palette while lightning yellow supplies the charge.

Toronto Tempo

A deep Bordeaux paired with Borealis Blue was described at launch as a modern take on a familiar Canadian palette. The combination sets the league's first international franchise apart from anything else in the WNBA.

Washington Mystics

Red, navy, and silver reflect the colours of the nation's capital. The scheme has anchored the franchise since its 2011 refresh and carried through its 2019 championship season.

Atlanta Dream

A dark grey shield with red linework framing a white A topped by a star, with light blue basketball seams at its base. The team describes it as a rising phoenix, a shooting star, and a basketball combined into a single badge.

Chicago Sky

The Willis Tower rising through a sky blue basketball trimmed in yellow. The full mark adds a SKY banner and a net below, a tribute to Chicago as the birthplace of the skyscraper.

Connecticut Sun

A stylised sun radiating behind a basketball, rendered in orange against navy. The rays give the mark energy while the enclosed "C" ties it to Connecticut.

Dallas Wings

A Pegasus facing forward with its wings spread in navy, cyan, and lime green, standing over a basketball. The winged horse is a long-standing symbol of Dallas.

Golden State Valkyries

An inverted triangle forming a shield, with wing-like lines suggesting a Valkyrie in flight. The angular geometry reads as both armour and motion.

Indiana Fever

A red script Fever wordmark sweeping across a navy roundel ringed in yellow, with the flourish finishing in a basketball. INDIANA arcs across the top of the mark.

Las Vegas Aces

A diamond-shaped spade in black and silver with a red accent - a direct nod to playing cards and the Las Vegas setting, with "ACES" set across the centre.

Los Angeles Sparks

Palm trees flanking a basketball rendered as a setting sun, enclosed in a circle with "LA" beneath. It is one of the most literal city references in the league.

New York Liberty

The Statue of Liberty's torch and crown rendered in seafoam green, set within a shield with "NY". The mark makes the franchise's namesake unmistakable.

Minnesota Lynx

A lynx head in profile breaking across a basketball, ringed by the team wordmark. The cat's ear tufts and the green eye pick up the aurora green accent.

Phoenix Mercury

A single M set on a purple and orange crescent inside a roundel. The M is tilted 19.97 degrees, a reference to the 1997 inaugural season.

Portland Fire

A rose engulfed in flame - merging Portland's identity as the Rose City with the intensity of the team name. The pink-to-red gradient carries the fire upward.

Seattle Storm

The Space Needle rising inside a shield, with a lightning bolt striking through its base. It is the rare WNBA mark that leads with a landmark rather than a letter or a mascot.

Toronto Tempo

A "T" set on a basketball with six speed lines trailing behind it. The lines represent the five players on the court plus the fans as a sixth, and the motion echoes the team's name.

Washington Mystics

An ornate wordmark in navy and red with a stylised monument silhouette, giving the mark a distinctly Washington character.

Los Angeles Sparks

Los Angeles Lakers (NBA) and Minnesota Vikings (NFL) - all three build on purple and gold, one of the most recognisable colour pairings in American sports.

Las Vegas Aces

Las Vegas Raiders (NFL) - both Las Vegas franchises use black and silver, giving the city a strikingly consistent sporting identity.

Washington Mystics

Washington Commanders (NFL) - both draw on the red and navy associated with the capital, though the Commanders lean burgundy where the Mystics use a brighter red.

Connecticut Sun

Chicago Bears (NFL) and Denver Broncos (NFL) - orange paired with a deep navy is a rare combination that these franchises share across sports.

Minnesota Lynx

Minnesota Timberwolves (NBA) - the two franchises share an owner and an identical four-colour palette, making them the closest colour match between any WNBA and NBA pair.

Phoenix Mercury

Phoenix Suns (NBA) - both carry the purple and orange that Phoenix sports have used since the Suns adopted them in 1968, though the Mercury run a darker purple.

Seattle Storm

Seattle SuperSonics (defunct NBA) - the Storm deliberately took up the green and gold the city lost in 2008, keeping the Sonics palette in play in Seattle.

Indiana Fever

Indiana Pacers (NBA) - the sister franchises share an owner, an arena, and a navy and yellow base, with the Fever adding red.

Atlanta Dream

Atlanta Falcons (NFL) - both lead with red against near-black and silver-grey, giving Atlanta a consistent look across two leagues.

Chicago Sky

Los Angeles Chargers (NFL) - a bright blue paired with gold or yellow is rare in pro sports, and the Sky and Chargers are two of the few teams built on it.

Dallas Wings

Dallas Mavericks (NBA) - the Wings use a near-identical navy to the Mavericks, though their lime green accent has no counterpart in the NBA.

New York Liberty

No close match anywhere in the major leagues - seafoam green with copper is unique to the Liberty, and one of the most distinctive palettes in professional sport.
