The San Francisco Bay Area’s WNBA franchise officially has a name: the Golden State Valkyries.
The team officially announced its name at 5:30 a.m. local time through social media channels with a 15-second video that showcased the Valkyries’ logo along with the tagline, “Join our ascent.” The video also unveils the color scheme, which is a light purple and black.
Shortly after that, the team posted a slightly longer hype video for the team, with singer Kehlani as the narrator. The video shows the vantage point of someone — presumably something like the team’s namesake — soaring through the skies of Oakland and San Francisco, while zooming through neighborhoods and landmarks in each city.
