Indiana Fever phenom Caitlin Clark has split her fandom after unveiling her long-awaited signature Nike logo, with vocal supporters both loving the design and others wondering how it was the finished product.
Clark unveiled the logo as part of a video posted to her social media, with a car driving on dirt roads, with the double-capital C design being revealed at the end.
The signature product from the design will be released next year, while other merchandise featuring Clark’s logo will be available soon.
A navy and yellow Clark logo shirt appears to be the first clothing with her design on it that will be publicly released, doing so in North America next week.
Yet, the all black-and-white logo has not thrilled everyone in her fan base, with many starting to watch women’s basketball because of her.
Clark is the latest WNBA star to unveil a personal merchandise logo after rival Angel Reese, A’ja Wilson, Sabrina Ionescu, and others.

‘Actually that is pretty well done….imo,’ a second stated.
‘Crazy to think it this is the best they came up with,’ a third added.
‘Perfect!’ a fourth continued, with a GIF of a person flashing dollar bills, with a caption that reads, ‘Spend that money.’
‘Wow this sucks. They could’ve done so much better,’ a fifth said.
‘I actually love this logo, one of my favorites Nike has recently released,’ a sixth concluded.

Clark has not played since reaggravating a groin injury on July 15 against the Connecticut Sun, missing the Fever’s last 15 games.
The WNBA sophomore has a chance to return to the court on Tuesday night when Indiana faces the Seattle Storm.
The Fever are clinging to the league’s final playoff spot, behind the Golden State Valkyries on a tiebreaker, one game ahead of the Los Angeles Sparks.
While the Fever have not given a timetable for Clark to return to the court, Indiana only has seven regular-season games left.
