Angel Reese, a rookie for the Chicago Sky and a 2024 WNBA All-Star, has added to her already impressive list of accomplishments. She has officially teamed with Hershey's, the firm behind Reese's Pieces and Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. This partnership is especially apt considering Reese's name and loyal fan following, which she lovingly refers to as "Reese's Pieces." 

The new arrangement with Angel Reese has stirred interest among her followers, who have enthusiastically expressed their thoughts on the news. The firm and star WNBA player leveraged her "Reese's Pieces" nickname from fans to come up with a creative idea for a clothing collection that included shirts, hoodies, caps, and more. “This is one of those ‘pinch-me’ moments, where everything feels like it is coming full circle," Reese said. 

The agreement between Hershey's and Angel Reese was finally formalized, leading to the release of unique items on Reese's official website, TheAngelReese.com. Reese showed off pieces from the line, such as shirts, caps, and hoodies, in a video shared on ClutchPoints. Reese, who publicly expresses her passion for Reese's goods, recently showed off her enthusiasm by donning special sneakers inspired by Reese's Peanut Butter Cups.
