Both Versions Of Caitlin Clark's All Star Uniform Sold Out In 15 Minutes

Whether the WNBA likes it or not, they continue to be bludgeoned over the head with the fact that Indiana Fever rookie Caitlin Clark is very, very popular.

While there have been more than a few instances of the league trying to downplay one of the most talked-about players in its history, it's hard to ignore some of the signs that Clark could be a meal ticket for the entire WNBA and everyone associated with it.

The latest? How about the fact that not one, but both of Clark's All-Star Game uniforms — which retail for $130 a pop — sold out in 15 minutes.

That's impressive, although, you may be wondering why there are two different colored jerseys when the WNBA All-Star Game's format pits the US Women's National Team against the best players in the WNBA who didn't make the aforementioned US Women's National Team.

Well, the answer is simple: the WNBA team will be making a wardrobe change at halftime.

Why? I have no clue. 

It could be that this way fans feel compelled to buy both of their favorite players' jerseys. You can't have one without the other, you needed the full set, even if it runs you more than $260.

Stuff like this always reminds me of the guy who takes Steve Martin's taxi at the beginning of Planes, Trains, And Automobiles who says "Anyone who'd pay fifty dollars for a cab... would certainly pay seventy-five."

It kind of feels like the WNBA is saying, "Anyone who would lay $130 for a Caitlin Clark All-Star jersey, would certainly shell out $130 twice for 2 Caitlin Clark All-Star jerseys."

It seems like that may well be true because those things flew off of the virtual shelves.

The WNBA All-Star Game takes place on Saturday, July 20 — just before the National Team jets off to Paris for the Olympics — and will be held at the Footprint Center in Phoenix.
