As Nike officially unveiled A'ja Wilson's signature logo, many fans on social media were baffled as to how the final product came to be.

Wilson's logo unveiling comes as part of her partnership with Nike to develop her own signature shoe, which is scheduled to be released next summer.

Wilson's logo appears to be a stylized capital A flipped 90 degrees to the right, with uneven legs on the letter.

The soon-to-be-28-year old is wearing a necklace and t-shirt with the design.

Wilson is viewed as one of, if not the, best player in the WNBA, as she's the two-time-reigning league MVP and has been part of the championship runs for the Las Vegas Aces in the last pair of seasons.

Wilson is one of the WNBA's best players and will get her signature shoe released next summer

Wilson's alma mater, South Carolina, has erected a statue of her outside Colonial Life Arena, something Iowa will likely follow suit for Clark in the next decade.

A'Ja Wilson IS getting her own Nike shoe, brand reveals after being slammed for giving rookie Caitlin Clark '$28million deal' before WNBA champion

Interest has skyrocketed in women's basketball over the last year, with WNBA rookies Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese at the forefront.

Yet, Wilson was one of several current WNBA veterans to set forth a path the rookie sensations can follow for turning college dominance into professional success.

Yet, fans were confused by Wilson's logo reveal with Nike.

'Weird symbol but y’all in the comments better recognize the best WNBA player,' one fan said on X.

'I don't get it. Maybe time to go back to the drawing board,' another basketball fan said on social media.

'Nike know they wrong for that,' one person stated alongside a crying emoji.

'Compared to every logo that Nike has made for it’s athletes signature lines this isn’t good,' another fan concluded.
