WNBA undecided on USA patches for All-Star jerseys in July

The WNBA has not committed to adding USA-themed patches to the 2026 All-Star Game jerseys, scheduled for July 24-26. A report suggests that the league is exploring options to commemorate the country's 250th anniversary but has not finalized a decision. The WNBA's statement follows similar announcements from other major sports leagues participating in the USA250 initiative, which aims to celebrate the nation’s founding in 1776. Criticism of the patches has emerged from players like Brianna Turner, who questioned the appropriateness of such commemoration given the historical context of WNBA players. The league's decision will become clearer as the All-Star weekend approaches.
