Every 2026 WNBA Rebel Edition alternate uniforms, ranked from worst to best

Posted on by GoalVerseNews

The iconic WNBA Rebel Edition uniforms are back for their sixth season, and once again, Nike has absolutely knocked some of them out of the park.

The full collection was announced on Thursday and went on sale Friday, the first day of the 2026 season. The Rebel Edition aims to “bring the team’s identity into sharper focus and let their energy speak in a new way on court,” according to Nike manager and designer for basketball apparel Katie West.

It features new designs for all 15 WNBA teams, including its two new expansion franchises, the Toronto Tempo and Portland Fire.

There’s nothing we love more here at For The Win than ranking uniform combinations, and here’s how we think the 2026 WNBA Rebel Edition threads stack up.

15. Los Angeles Sparks

Very few of these are outright bad, but compared to some of the other choices, LA’s is clearly the weakest. The two-tone design feels a bit off, and there isn’t much at all going on with these.

14. Toronto Tempo

The Tempo may not have much of an identity to base these on as an expansion franchise, but these are pretty bland and don’t provide any visible homages to the city.

13. Golden State Valkyries

These look pretty cool, but ultimately, they feature only minor changes from the typical Golden State uniforms. We were hoping for a little more.

12. Las Vegas Aces

Once again, these just don’t provide a major deviation from the Aces’ typical uniforms. Still, the Vegas sign font is a nice touch here.

11. Phoenix Mercury

These are spiffy and a nice change of pace from the standard Mercury uniforms, but they’re very similar to previous Rebel Edition digs. Also, the “X” on the jersey kind of looks like the new Twitter logo, so we will unfortunately be forced to deduct some points there.

10. Chicago Sky

These are a bit basic, and the lettering being slightly off-center irks me a bit. Still, the “Skytown” play on “Chi-town” is pretty neat.

9. Minnesota Lynx

These are a solid upgrade from Minnesota’s typical uniforms while staying true to the overall style. The cat-ear-esque design on the lettering is a great added detail, as well.

8. New York Liberty

I’m not the biggest fan of the Liberty’s color combination overall, but these are pretty well done. I like the “Brooklyn” text in honor of the borough where the team plays, and the pinstripes add a nice New York touch.

7. Seattle Storm

This feels like a design you’re either going to love or hate, but I am in the former camp. I’m a sucker for neon green, and the lightning bolt with storm clouds on the side of the jersey was a bold call. It makes for a wild and chaotic uniform design, but I think it works.

6. Washington Mystics

While many of these uniforms don’t make major changes to design philosophy and color scheme, these are an exception. I think the purple and blue combo works really well with these, and though “District of Change,” may have been better as a concept than it looks in execution, I like the direction here.

5. Indiana Fever

The Fever’s uniform is another major deviation from a typical color scheme, and the bright red with the clean “Indy” font works really well with these. Maybe a little basic, but there’s no denying these are sharp.

4. Connecticut Sun

Like Seattle’s, this is another pretty busy design. The black, red and orange look great, though, and as an added touch, these feature an homage to the local indigenous culture with the text “Keesusk,” which means “Sun” in Mohegan.

3. Atlanta Dream

We’re getting into the best of the best here. Atlanta’s uniforms have a nice retro style with the bubble “atl” text, and while there isn’t much going on outside of that, there’s no need to fix something that isn’t broken.

2. Portland Fire

Portland definitely had the better draw here compared to its expansion counterpart. It really leans into the “Rose City” nickname with the text on the front and the rose pattern on the uniform. These are elite.

1. Dallas Wings

Dallas’ Rebel Edition uniforms take the retro concept of Atlanta’s and, in my opinion, elevate it significantly. The pop of bright blue really adds a lot here, and the “Dallas” text is clean. These feel like they were ripped right out of the 1970s, and I love it.
