We’re now less than a week from our August 28th submission deadline, so you must act quickly to send in those final ideas. The response so far has been incredible, with ideas flowing in from coast to coast. We’ve received a wide range of submissions, each contributing to what our WNBA team could become.
For example, nearly 10% of submissions were related to dinosaurs. Toronto landmarks inspired 13% of ideas, 9% about outer space, and 7% were about specific play styles.
