WNBA 25TH ANNIVERSARY



Agency: Saatchi & Saatchi
Client: WNBA | 25th Anniversary
Role: Creative Direction + Art Direction + Designer

Designed in collaboration with Caroline Chas and Victor Roman.







To mark its 25th anniversary, the Women's National Basketball Association wanted to honor the league's standout players since its creation in 1997.

To commemorate this occasion, we created a set of 25 unique and individually customized jackets and patches. These custom pieces are a tribute to the remarkable athletes who have played a significant role in shaping the WNBA's impressive legacy.







The patches represented their accomplishments, personal stories, hobbies, and identities both on and off the court. The color palette was chosen from their teams and logos.

The inside of every jacket featured hand-stitched names of the players along with their accomplishments.




The jacket's lining included a pattern  of the WNBA's logo
and their "Count it" brand platform.









The #W25 were honored at Game 1 of the Finals, were each member received a custom W25 varsity jacket.















To conclude the campaign, WNBA invited the public to vote for the 'Greatest WNBA Player of All Time,' a.k.a the 'GOAT.' As a tribute to this exceptional player, we designed and produced a unique trophy to honor Diana Taurasi.










We hoped to get some jackets for ourselves – although it never happened.
Meanwhile, others began to ask about them online as well.
