Kaмilla Cardoso will retain her No. 10 jersey with the Chicago Sky, while Angel Reese will switch to No. 5, embracing it as a symbol of “new beginnings.” Both Cardoso and Reese wore No. 10 during their standout college basketball careers – Cardoso at South Carolina and Reese at LSU.

Reese previously wore No. 5 during her time at the University of Maryland and Saint Frances Academy in Baltimore before switching to No. 10 at LSU. Meanwhile, Cardoso has had various jersey numbers since her high school days.

When the Chicago Sky drafted Cardoso and Reese, there was speculation about who would retain No. 10. On Tuesday, the team released images of their new rookie jerseys, confirming Cardoso would keep No. 10. Reese, the seventh overall pick, welcomed her jersey change positively.

“New era, new beginnings,” she said. “Go cop now!”

Reese’s merchandise is anticipated to be popular. Given her popularity, her No. 5 jersey is expected to be a best-seller.

Fans can anticipate seeing both players in action when the Chicago Sky and the Indiana Fever clash on June 1. The game is anticipated to draw many fans, with a sea of Reese and Clark jerseys likely to be spotted in the stands.

Reese made her WNBA debut on Wednesday night, starting for the Chicago Sky in their season opener against the Dallas Wings. Despite Chicago’s 87-79 loss, Reese delivered a solid performance, scoring 12 points on 5 of 13 shooting in 26 minutes, along with seven rebounds and one assist.
