Breanna Stewart and Sue Bird are both back for 2022. That's reason to celebrate.
"One more year!" According to the GOAT, Sue Bird herself, it was this playoff chant—nay, demand, from Storm fans that boosted her into a 19th season with Seattle's WNBA team.
As evidenced by a salary that makes the four-time champion look a lot more like the average Seattleite—and opens up some extra cash for the Storm to recruit other star players—she's jockeying for another big win. Want to boost her into that one, too? Gear up in some of our favorite Storm merch and go cheer on some of the best athletes in the game.

$30

Nineteen seasons (21 if you count the two she sat out for injuries) with one of Seattle's best athletes of all time? We've earned the right to brag. But we'll keep it simple.
Nike Custom Explorer Edition Jersey, Fanatics
$130

Custom jerseys make great gifts for sports fans—loose-fitting, moisture-wicking fabric also comes in handy on the sidelines—and if you're the sports fan in question, all the better. Add your nickname and a lucky number, or choose from the full roster of Storm players (Bird and Stewart are in good company).
Storming Buckets Black Hoodie, Simply Seattle Local
$25

The last time we saw a nice hoodie for $25, Seattle had two basketball teams—and while those lightning bolts over the Space Needle make this full-on Seattle Storm, graphic simplicity means optimists can plan to wear it to a Sonics game one day, too.
Breanna Stewart Do Hard Things Pennant, Pwrfwd
$30
Image: Pwrfwd
Free agent forward Breanna Stewart, who has also returned to the Storm for the 2022 season, inspires us on and off the court: She's the first WNBA player in over a decade to land a signature shoe deal. She advocates for abortion rights and racial equity. She was among the first female athletes to speak out about sexual abuse she'd experienced earlier in life. In short: She does hard things.
Slam Sue Bird Cover Tee, Slam Goods
$40

Seattle Met will forgive you for thinking Sue Bird's 2020 Slam Magazine appearance is the most iconic magazine cover of all time.
Seattle Storm Pullover Sweatshirt, Fanatics
$90

Name an article of clothing more universally satisfying than a heather gray crewneck. Embroidered chenille graphics and a Space Needle arm patch make this one favorite-sweatshirt special.
Breanna Stewart: Worldwide MVP Shirt, BreakingT
$28

She went from Rookie of the Year in 2016 to Sportsperson of the Year in 2020. Need we say more?

$25

Want to rep the women's league without looking like you just stepped off the court yourself? Turn to Bauble Bar's small collection of WNBA gear—including this silhouette charm, a pair of hoop earrings, and a locket.
WNBA Jam Storm Stewart and Bird Tee, Homage
$36
Image: Homage
A team that got its start in 1999 doesn't have much in the way of retro fan gear. Thankfully, the good folks at Homage video-gamified our Seattle dream team.
Nike Kyrie 8 'Keep Sue Fresh' Shoes, GOAT
Price Varies
Image: GOAT
Sneakerhead Sue Bird helped design a line of Kyrie shoes for Nike, complete with her signature and hashtag Keep Sue Fresh (we will certainly try). This pair's in near-Storm colors, and though most sizes are only available on the competitive resale market, those prices look relatively reasonable. For the time being. Let us know if they make you fly like a Bird.
