CHICAGO — The Chicago Sky’s Angel Reese is seemingly on her way to a brand partnership with with one of her favorite candies, according to a recent report.
TMZ Sports is reporting Reese and candy company Hershey’s are in talks negotiating a sponsorship deal, specifically involving Reese’s Pieces.
The foundation was laid a little under two weeks ago on June 25 after the Sky’s win over the Indiana Fever, when Reese tweeted, “Reese’s pieces where yall at?????”
Three days later, Reese’s official Twitter/X account replied, “Where are we? Just following our favorite player.”
Reese has not been shy about her love for the candy brand, having gone as far as rocking custom Reeboks featuring a Reese’s Cup design before.
