The First New WNBA Team In Years Has Revealed Its Name

The First New WNBA Team In Years Has Revealed Its Name

The Golden State Valkyries will start playing in San Francisco in 2025.

The San Francisco Bay Area’s new WNBA team revealed itself Tuesday as the Golden State Valkyries, a name originating from Norse mythology about flying female warriors.

It’s a fitting name for the women’s expansion to the Golden State Warriors, the NBA team that’s played in the Bay Area since 1962. The Valkyries are set to start playing in San Francisco next May, making them the 13th WNBA team and the first professional women’s basketball team to launch in the U.S. since 2018. This also marks the first time an NBA team has expanded to include a women’s team since 2008.

Bay Area-born singer Kehlani narrated the official video introducing the team’s name and branding, saying, “This is where legends take flight, but our story has yet to be written.”

Valkyries are “a host of warrior women who are fearless and unwavering ― flying through air and sea alike,” the team said in a news release Tuesday. The team color, “Valkyrie violet,” is a symbol of “power, ambition, nobility, and women’s empowerment,” the statement said.

The team logo is a V shape, representing both the name and “the unity of a group of Valkyries in flight.” It features the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge, honoring the Golden State franchise’s ties to both cities.
