The growing camaraderie between Caitlin Clark, Lexie Hull, and Sophie Cunningham has captured the hearts of WNBA followers, especially after Cunningham’s memorable entrance at the game on Sunday. Her choice of attire delighted fans as she arrived at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas wearing a unique custom shirt.
The Fever guard sported a shirt emblazoned with the words “Tres Leches” and featured a stylized drawing of Clark, Hull, and Cunningham in the center, decked out in full Fever uniforms. This playful representation has emphasized their connection both on and off the court.
“Tres Leches” is a nickname that Fever fans have dubbed the trio and it’s clear the players have taken a liking to it.
Cunningham’s shirt created waves online as fans reacted to it.
“The shirt Sophie! Way to have your teammates back,” one person wrote on X.
“TRES LECHES LEZGO,” another persona added.
“I need that shirt!” a third person commented.
The shirt is being sold by Barstool Sports, whose founder Dave Portnoy is a well-documented fan of the Fever, and more specifically, Clark.
Cunningham, who was acquired by the Fever in a trade with the Mercury, has quickly charmed fans. Her popularity has surged, particularly after she passionately stood up for Clark during a heated game against the Mercury, further endearing herself to the Fever supporters.
The guard committed a hard foul on Jacy Sheldon in retaliation for a foul earlier in the game on Clark, which many fans felt was not dealt with severely enough.
Cunningham herself criticized the refs following a practice on Saturday.
“I’m not focused on the extracurricular activities,” Cunningham said, “and you know what? During that, it was just part of the game. I think the refs had a lot to do with that, it was a build-up of a couple of years now of them just not protecting the star player of the WNBA. At the end of the day. I’m gonna protect my teammates, that’s what I do.”
The Fever ended up losing, 89-81, with Cunningham going scoreless in 17 minutes.
