HERSHEY, Pa. — The Hershey Company is giving fans of Reese's candy and the WNBA what they want.
The company announced last week that it is joining forces with Chicago Sky rookie sensation Angel Reese to offer limited-edition merchandise featuring Reese's Pieces candy and WNBA star's name.
"After reading thousands of comments from Reese's and Angel Reese fans – the chocolate and peanut butter icon teamed up with the rookie double-double queen for the first-of-its-kind fan-inspired collaboration," Hershey said in a press release. "This collection is all about celebrating the fans, with nods to 'The Reese's Pieces' and 'The Queen' herself, with designs that capture her unique style and your love for all things Reese's.
The collection was designed in collaboration with Athlete Studio, an IP and commerce platform for professional athletes. It features three exclusive drops:
- Angel Reese x Reese's Pieces Logo Collection – Featuring eight custom pieces with a mashup of the iconic Reese's Pieces logo re-imagined just for Angel Reese, this line includes a cropped tee, t-shirt, hoodie and hat offered in both white and cream.
- Angel Reese x Reese's Basketball Jersey – We know Angel Reese fans wanted a way to show off their love for both the game and Reese's, so we created a custom jersey that's perfect for Angel's fans who want to rep their favorite player and their favorite treat.
- Angel Reese x Reese's Cup Logo Collection – When you asked for something bold and fun, we knew exactly what to do. This drop features eight designs featuring a custom logo that marries Angel's style with the timeless Reese's Peanut Butter Cup, giving fans the ultimate way to "crown" their queen and their cup!
"The fans really made this happen," said Angel Reese. "This collection is for my Reese's Pieces - who've been with me every step of the way and the design elements bring together things that I love -basketball, style, and of course, Reese's!"
Select limited-edition Angel Reese x Reese's merch will be available starting August 21 exclusively at www.theangelreese.com and will be released in three distinct waves. So keep your eyes peeled, but don't wait—these custom pieces won't last long, so grab them before they're gone!
