We here at For The Win love alternate jerseys, and the WNBA and Nike just dropped a bunch of amazing ones as part of their 2023 Rebel Edition rollout.
This is the third year of the Rebel Edition, which — per Boardroom — ” gives teams and athletes an unapologetic platform to help grow basketball and its societal influence, while simultaneously empowering and igniting their communities.”
This year’s theme? “Trace the Lineage.”
Although we’ll get to see these teams play starting in May, the uniforms premiered on Friday, and it’s a good time to rank them. It’s only five teams’ threads at the moment, so we’ll revisit these when more drop:

The 2023 @WashMystics Nike Rebel Edition uniform is inspired by civil rights pioneer and educator Nannie Helen Burroughs, who started the National Training School for Women and Girls and subsequently, one of the first women’s basketball teams in D.C.
