The Sky released their newest uniform and it's full of "infinite possibilities."
At least, that's what it's meant to illustrate with its light blue coloring and white gradient throughout. Guard Diamond DeShields and forward Brianna Turner were the two players featured in the Sky's release of their new Rebel edition Nike uniform.
The immediate reaction from fans was positive.
"They cooked," Eric Nemchoke wrote on X, formerly Twitter.
"Yeah. Yeah. That is snazzy," Mickey Roberts added on the social media platform.
"Sky Town" is written across the front of the jersey, which the team said is a play on the city's "Chi Town" nickname.
Infinite possibilities. Limitless potential.

Other odes to the city within the uniform are four stars down the side of the shorts, which was inspired by the city's flag. For anyone unfamiliar, the four stars on Chicago's flag represent four major moments in the city's history. The first star represents Fort Dearborn. The second is representative of the Great Chicago Fire. The third is for the World's Columbian Exposition of 1893, and the fourth is for the Century of Progress Exposition.
"I'm gonna get it," Dion Boykin wrote on social media. "But I wish they did another black jersey."
"Pricing it at $129 before taxes, yikes," Matt Linder said.
The WNBA season tips off on May 14 with a slate of games including the Indiana Fever taking on the Washington Mystics on the road. The Sky play the following evening against the Dallas Wings on the road.
