CHICAGO (WLS) — Just ahead of the Chicago Sky’s 2025 WNBA home opener at Wintrust Arena, a new trend in fan fashion is hitting the streets. Fashion students from Columbia College Chicago teamed up with the Sky and local streetwear brand SOUNDOFF to craft a limited-edition line of custom apparel that draws inspiration from the team’s energy and Chicago’s lively culture.

With guidance from SOUNDOFF founder Daryl Sneed, students combined sportswear, streetwear, and community narratives to design striking pieces that enhance the fan experience beyond the stands. Although these items are not part of the players’ official uniforms, they embody the spirit of the Sky and provide fans with a fresh avenue to express their pride.

The collection will premiere at Wintrust Arena on May 22 and be available for purchase during Sky games, with potential online availability later in the season. A special window display highlighting the designs will launch on May 6 at Columbia’s downtown campus.

“This collaboration brings the next generation of designers together with the city’s team in a bold, fresh way,” said Sneed. Columbia’s School of Fashion director Dr. Colbey Reid added, “Our students are learning to create for real audiences, this is experiential fashion education at its best.”

Fans, get ready to show out in style this season, the Chicago Sky just made game day cooler than ever.
